My boyfriend left over 20+ years ago and is now doing extremely well for himself. He said I had 2 leave before I would've been in jail or dead. We visit every so often 2 see his friends and family. I actually have a nice time everytime I go but I don't live there so I don't know how bad it is

My granddaughter name is Taylor and 17 years old! She was arguing with her parents because she wanted to go to a block party!, this is the reason why I said no! The streets has no love for the youth in Detroit! Just shocked at the lack of outrage from the community

[@mastermind.det313]

I'm Chaldean, and I'll tell you why. Your bottom feeders are the voice for all black people like New Era Detroit, Pastor Moe, and all the other ones. They get government grants to keep you down. If people like you are serious about a change. Then you need to form a group that goes against of people like New Era Detroit, Pastor Mo and others that direct you in the wrong direction.

Glad her parents said no! It’s too dangerous!

People don't get shot at block parties anywhere else because we know how to behave, that garbage only happens in inner city Detroit.

Whites only. And it has nothing to do with money. I'd know, I grew up there and we just have morals, a sense of decency, compassion, true pride in ourselves and our families, respect for ourselves and parents... Etc. These are things I've realized, in the 6 short years that I've lived in a city, that blacks lack. That's why they shot each other at "block parties".

@@FalconPunch1978 true. Most of us aren’t worried financially. Maybe that’s the difference? I’m still trying to figure it out. There seems to be a ton of crime where a lot of poor people live.

[@JN-fl3kz]

So true. A friend of mine son was involved in a bad accident. The doctors told him that his son was brain dead. He was going to take him off soon to, but I told him to wait for awhile. But he kept saying doctors were saying it was nothing they could do. His sister went up there and prayed for him, annointed him with oil. And they waited. That young man is alive, walking and talking. He just don”t remember the accident. I always think of this young man when I hear of people being taken off of life support so quick.

I an getting tired of this "Your People" It's not your people we are all in this life together depending on each other when you need food etc. you need the stores to be open or need medical assistance or making sure you receive your pay check or any financial support. It's is people that we rely on everyday in every aspect of our lives so there is no you people there is we, because when there is a loss of life we all loose what could have been but cannot be.

Im getting so tired of seeing ALL THESE MOTHER'S on TV speaking on these deceased kids. Where are all the Father's laying down the hammer. I left Detroit in 2010 for the burds.

And if i drive over there and see you at this party, it's going to be consequences.

MRNA (messenger RNA) is a type of RNA that plays a crucial role in the process of protein synthesis. It is not a vaccine. Vaccines are designed to stimulate the immune system to produce antibodies and provide immunity against specific diseases. MRNA, on the other hand, is a molecule that carries genetic information from DNA to the ribosomes, where it is translated into proteins.

Bible(2Tim 3:1) last days perilous times shall come… people please start hearing from God,if you are Christians, so you can know where,what, when in these last days! Hearing from God can make all the difference! I know we want to enjoy life but reality is, there are some that are just miserable and want to take it out in others! We just can’t attend socials in this day and time anymore🤷‍♂️

[@AnonymousCommenter.]

It’s been the last days for thousands of years. Nobody is coming back to save us from ourselves. And nobody hears from god because he doesn’t exist. Instead of relying on an imaginary sky daddy, we have to help ourselves. It’s up to us to stop killing each other. I’m sure we could agree on that.
