I dislike Kwame as much as the next conscious resident of this city, but all I can think of while watching this trailer is how easy it is to paint a Black man with somehow single-handedly bringing down Detroit when in reality, decades of deindustrialization, coupled with the crash of the housing market, the Great recession, and crippling crime are only the tip of the iceberg. What we missed in the whole Kwame scandal was the hundreds, if not thousands of (mostly) men, and women who conspired in their own interests for years with complete disregard for Detroits citizens, not to mention the crooks that are still in office. Corruption/race-baiting/economic racism/community destruction runs plenty deeper than one man. Anger does nothing if not channeled into action but simmer and stew
