Appendix 1: THE MULTI-RACIAL DECLINE OF CITIES IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA - A PHOTOGRAPHIC ESSAY

THE RUINS OF DETROIT

THE RUINS OF THE DETROIT PACKARD PLANT

Please note: This photographic essay is not meant to imply that all areas of the cities in question resemble the photographs. These pictures merely reflect regions, or suburbs, where White Flight has been the most extreme.

According to the 2000 US census, 88% of Detroit's population is non-White. This percentage is even higher in the city center. Detroit qualifies as the most ruined city in the USA. In addition to massive White Flight, the non-White residents started the tradition - which has spread to other cities - of "Devil's Night". This is the habit or burning down parts of the city on the night before Halloween.

A huge non-White population, combined with annual arson attacks, bankruptcy, crime and decay, have combined to make Detroit - once the USA's leading automotive industrial center - into a ruin comparable with those of the ancient civilizations - with the cause being identical: the replacement of the White population who built the city, with a new non-White population.

THE RUINS OF THE PACKARD PLANT, DETROIT

The Packard Motor Car manufacturing complex was established on this Detroit east-side location in 1907.  Packard manufactured luxury vehicles here until it went out of business in 1956.  This colossal 40 plus acre complex was sold for a paltry $750,000 the following year. 

What is most striking about this large expanse of manufacturing buildings is the neglect, dilapidation and vandalism that have been wrought on the complex.  In more civilized environs, these facilities might have easily been transformed into a manufacturing and assembly center for any number of industrial enterprises.  Instead, it lies barely utilized, in shameful disarray and surrounded by blight. 

This decay followed the rapid demographic transformation of Detroit from a prosperous majority-European American city into a crime-ridden and poverty-stricken majority African-American city propped up by government handouts, band-aids and feel good charitable donations from corporations.

Neglect and abuse continue to reduce much of Detroit’s infrastructure to a more advanced state of decay with each passing year.  Like a patient with a chronic life-threatening illness, but dressed up in a nice suit, having well-polished shoes and clean fingernails, the development in Detroit’s city center is held up as evidence of progress while the day of the wrecking ball and bulldozer approaches for the blighted neighborhoods and moribund manufacturing complexes which cover large tracts of the city.
