And at 10x the speed! Detroit was just a result of the US refusing to stay competitive in manufacturing (hence the rust belt as plants and mills moved across borders), which itself was only exacerbated by local leaders not allowing the area to be competitive. But Seattle is on a whole new level with it.

Detroit race riots were a thing.

Like, a big huge thing.

And they definitely contributed to the decline.

Definitely, the riots were a big deal in Detroit, but Seattle apparently wants to set a new precedent.

Black leadership and their ignorant masses have been fucking themselves going on a century. The Twelfth Street Riot started when police raided an illegal bar. An in your face flouting of law by the black owners and patrons which regular people would never try to get away with, but in their minds was nothing short of extreme oppression by whitey and an excuse to burn down the city because again somehow in their minds they dindunothin. Did whites burn down cities when speakeasy's were raided, busted and destroyed? No. They understood that what they were doing was illegal and accepted the consequences like any sane person would.

Uh, white flight is racist. You have to stay and suffer like a cuck if you want to be good whitey.

Too bad this logic isn't going to work even with the most far gone progressives. Karens don't mind being sanctimonious bitches about everything, but comfort comes first.

The Unions up there were a big part of Detroit failing too.
