I was reading the interesting and fantastical description of the future of Highland Park written by Woodword Wood in a previous thread and thought I'd open a thread devoted to such descriptions. Where do you think Highland Park will be 10years from now? 50 years? 100 years? 1000years? 10,000 years from now? | ||

Ten years from now, Highland Park will be populated and ruled by Mexicans. Tyson Foods or Simplot or some other big food processing company will use Highland Park with it's need for jobs to sell the installation of a big food processing factory. They'll import Mexican workers and that will be the end of Highland Park as we know it. It will probably be a good thing for everyone except those currently in power in HP. Highland Park won't be white nor black but brown instead. | ||

Highland Park will still be a heavy black community years from now.Because Highland Park is a bunch of us blacks hometown,and any color is welcome just as long they stay in their place.I have been reading hpfolks the past three days,and it seems to me like Black Power said someone have nothing else to do but create screen names and post garbage.Hopefully Highland Park will be a better and clean city then it is now. | ||

Highland Park be Chinese. Go to any store and see where things are made. They made in China. We soon make cars. China be motown, not Detroit. We Chinese make cars, you buy cars. Eventually you not able to buy car unless work for Chinese. We rule Highland Park. You work for us. We transfer you to China. Your children Chinese. Highland Park be Chinese. Better and clean because you now Chinese. | ||

Highland Parker--If you study the yearbooks for Highland Park High School, you will notice that sometime around 1962, there was a dramatic change in the race of the majority of the students. In 1961, the majority was white, in 1962 the vast majority was black. It was a very dramatic change as thousands of white families moved to the suburbs. In 2006, the majority is black. In 2007, the majority will be brown Mexicans. You're about to get hit by a huge brown wave. I thought you might like a warning. | ||

Thanks for the warning. I think all Highland Parkers are in for some big changes very soon. I lived in Los Angeles after the Rodney King riots and the region where those riots happened was predominantly black but is now almost entirely Mexican. Some white people don't know their place and use poor Mexicans to drive out blacks. Highland Park will probably have a Mexican mayor by 2008. Detroit might have a Mexican mayor by 2012. Highland Park will be hometown to a bunch of Mexicans. | ||

Would it make a difference if somebody made up a name? What difference would it make if they used their real name? This thread is about the future of Highland Park that we all care about. I would very much like to read your opinion of the future of HP. It sounds like you've lived in HP for a longtime and I think you probably have a good idea what the future might be. Please write it and please stop trying to be a thought policeman or drive people away from this website by calling them names or accusing them of being racists. So, what does WilliamX think Highland Park will be like in ten years in the year 2015? | ||

Outside Agitator keep posting you sound like someone who live here in Highland Park,and is reacting to the departure of Ramona Pearson,and her $400,000 dollor staff of thiefs.Agitator are you sure you will be around ten years from now? I hope you are so you can see that Highland Park did rise again.Jeff I have racial hangups just like everyone else do,but I am more open with how I feel and think,and when I see the white clouds gathering around Highland Park that's a sign for me to be on guard.,and just because I am on guard mean that I am a racist.In closing I am not pointing the blame to anyone,but I do see that blacks is stealing from this poor city as well,and until we are mind set together soon we will all live under a trash pile. | ||

WilliamX--So which is it? Do you think HP will rise or do you think we'll be living under a trash pile in ten years? What do you mean by white clouds? And why do you have to be on guard? I'm not interested so much in the thievery of Ramona Pearson. I'm interested in the thievery that happened before her that caused the State of Michigan to appoint her. H.P. was once affluent. It used to be a great place to live and look at it now. I think maybe designing another rapid wave of immigration from many diverse places would be the best hope for Highland Park to get past the sickness that has led to her demise and abandonment. I have serious doubts that the people who live in HP now have the gumption to improve her as they would already have done so instead of letting her slip farther into decay. But a heroic blockade of I-75 might do the trick and a grateful world might recognize H.P. as the Center of the Universe once again. | ||

William X--Thank you for waiting. How do you see that black people are stealing from Highland Park? Just curious. | ||
| Black Power |
Outsider Agitator. White people is coming into Highland Park from the outside like you,and they are bigger thiefs then Blacks.Also in some cases whites are behind a black person when it comes to stealing money from the General funds.Look at the EX Financial Manager Ramona Pearson.She was appointed by another crook John Engler (who hates blacks except when he uses her to do his dirty work),and then she brought her band of thiefs into Highland Park,and when all three left Highland Park they removed boxes of documents and was making $400.000 per year from the tax-payers of Highland Park.I would prefere HIghland Park to be a part of Detroit (which will never happen) then to become a city like racist ass City like Howell Michigan (the home of the Grand Dragon),or any other white city.Ten (10) years from now Highland Park will still be Highland Park. | ||
| Outside Agitator |
Black Power--If Highland Park can attract hardworking, taxpaying and respectful citizens, I don't think they should fret about what color they are. Sure, there are bad white people and there always will be and there are bad black people too but it doesn't mean we should discriminate bad or good based on black or white. The important thing is to identify and nurture the good regardless of color. Highland Park has had a lot bad happen to it but I think with special incentives to a diversity of immigrants that it could become great again. By the way, what makes you think I'm white? | ||

Mr. WilliamX. MILLIONS of YOUR tax dollars already spent by one community who want to remove the 8 mile bridge, should be important to you: http://www.michigan.gov/mdot/0,1607,7-151-9621_110 58_25829---,00.html Increasing pollution, truck traffic while losing land (Fairgrounds)that belongs to every Michigan resident should be important to you: http://www.michigan.gov/mdot/0,1607,7-151-9621_110 58_26215---,00.html | ||
| William X |
Urbanator. That 8 mile bridge do not effect the traffic,pollution? The pollution has already ruin the environment here in Highland Park.My tax dollors was used in areas that I do not approve of being used in.You posting about one Community spending tax-dollors,are you speaking about Ferndale,Hazel Park,Royal Oak,or Oakland County in general? Which takes me back to your I.C.A.R.E organization,and what I have always said from the beginning.Many of Ramona Pearson's clonies is still here in Highland Park,and they are still trying to keep her spirit alive and well here in the big HP,and I am here to tell you it won't work she's history.The next election her clonies will be gone too.The 8 mile bridge,the Fairground,and the I-75/6 Mile intersection might be your concern,but it's not my concern,and again my only concerns is what surrounds Highland Park. | ||
| urbanator
|
Mr. WilliamX. Yet another opportunity to discuss the fairgrounds and eight mile intersection!!! Ferndale is the ONLY community behind removing the bridge and does not have to pay anything for studies, repairs or demolition. Not my ICARE, don't know Ramona and hope the next election brings forward Highland Park's community warriors. I don't live anywhere near southwest Detroit but oppose the intermodal project they are facing along with the fairgrounds site. Bridge down = 40,000 cars, semis and busses stopping for traffic signals every day. Intermodal = 650 additional semi trucks every day, many driving up Woodward. Air doesn't recognize one community from another... | ||
| William X |
Well Urbanator. Write M-Dot at www.Michigan.gov/mdot/ ask them why is Ferndale the only one worrying about the bridge? Again I do not think twice about the bridge at 8 mile and Woodward,But if it was one of the bridges crossing the Davison fwy then I would be concerned that's a big part of Highland Park.Semi trucks and other heavy motor vehicles is banned by law to operate on a residential street.Semi trucker drivers ride up and down Woodward all day because they do whatever they please,and the law do not stop them and ticket them.Most of the commerical businesses is on the outskirts of Highland Park,over by the I-75/Davision Freeway interchange so why can't truck drivers enter the city from another section of town? In closing its a waste of tax-payers dollors everytime patch work is done to fill the holes in the streets in,and once its done within another two months the same problem is back.What about Southwest Detroit? Who mentioned Southwest Detroit Urbanator? | ||
| urbanator

I'm one of hundreds who were very involved with MDOT during the study... they know where we stand and EVERYONE knows it's one person pushing to tear the bridge down. If the bridge is removed lots of people will lose their homes... Do you really want me living on your street? You could easily see 100+ additional semi's traveling through HP with a fairgrounds DIFT. You might as well put down gravel. The original DIFT plan was to consolidate all intermodal in sw Detroit, thaey fought back! 1st draft of Detroit/Ferndale DIFT would have eliminated Ferndale's commercial tax base... businesses critical to Ferndale and Hazel Park School districts. Then the fairgrounds idea was hatched last year to reduce the impact on sw Detroit, save businesses and use State Land they wouldn't have to pay for. Such a deal! But wait, there's more... we also get to pay for more frequent road repairs, emergency services and deal with heavy truck traffic. That's not all, up to 340 or more 50' metal boxes will be dropped onto trucks or stacked at the fairgrounds... the smell, the sound, the sight all at tax payers expense. --------------- This study has been on-going for years... it's almost like they have to produce something after spending so much time planning. | ||
| WilliamX |
Okay Urbanator Are you kin to that white lady who talks all the time at the City Council meetings? To me you sound just like her.Sure you're welcome to come live in my community where Blacks enter the front way,and Whites must enter from the back plus don't teach your dog to be a racist.See what you said concerning the bridge? The plan was for Ferndale,Hazel Park,and Detroit not Highland Park. I have a question for you__why you keep saying or thinking the fairground is in SW Detroit? The fairground is located East of Woodward,and North of State Fair Avenue aka Northeast. Road repairs? M-Dot is making all these plans what M-Dot should do is charge the trucking companies a special tax just for road repairs.Especially for Hamilton,Woodward,and Oakland avenues.Anyways,you are a very interesting person who represents your white community well,and again you are welcome anytime to come into the old Highland Park Hospital district,but remember keep the dogs under control at all times. | ||

Mr. WilliamX. "talks all the time" has to be Felicity... no relation. Bunch of us have been making the same points so long we sound related LOL... come to think of it Felicity used "the smell, the sound" and the noise in a recent article. I've overlapped issues; The DIFT (railyard/semis) is in several locations including Ferndale and sw Detroit... one new proposal is to expand on the Fairgrounds... another proposal consolidates all rail lines in sw Detroit. DIFT "the plan" is physically connected to F, D & HazelP... Highland Park is named on the flyer ICARE are taking door-to-door as HP will have more trucks traveling through (pollution, road damage) There has been talk of raising the deisel tax, but have no confidence the money would make its way here. Oh, intermodal trains increase from 1 to 4... not required to disclose hazardous materials transported through HP or oakland. Race and income info: DIFT, sw Detroit, majority Hispanic. se eight-woodward, 68% majority Black (48% poverty, income $12,000) sw eight-woodward,86% majority Black (income $20,000 more than Ferndale) ne eight-woodward,10% minority (students, seniors, renters and starter homes) nw eight-woodward, 11% minority (students, seniors, renters and starter homes) If you shared concern for these issues, would you assume I was Black? | ||

Mr. WilliamX. I haven't found the right expression, but it's something like "economic rights"... from Eight mile to HP's southern border we have to beg for the basics... it's pretty recent to see our tax dollar funded agencies around. Look at Troy residents having a hissy fit over a new exit ramp... whoop dedo. I'm looking at having a toxic storage yard on State land and or a demolition project that could drag on for a couple of years. Troy residents ran TV ads... best we can do is run off 8X11 flyers. I want the next generation to be born surrounded by opportunity which means we have to make smart decisions now. Rusting freight containers and debt from demolishing the bridge... we have to at least try to stop from happening. | ||

And the once great City of Detroit went into receivership. After several decades of racist black mismanagement and white quiet riot of abandonment and silent contempt, the city collapsed financially. Historians would later express astonishment that a corrupt, thuggish, clearly incompetent and totally childish Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick could get reelected but the irrationally racist, poorly educated and near retarded characteristics of people in a city spiraling down toward destruction helped explain it. But the story is really about Highland Park and how its link to Detroit gave it no hope of recovery. Failure of Detroit that had been propping up Highland Park with police, fire, water and library services soon found itself unable to provide even basic services to itself let alone a parasitic neighbor. Hard to believe, but the City of Highland Park declined further. Fires burned uncontrollably for hours before being brought under control usually because they simply burned themselves out as whatever fueled them was totally consumed down to the ground. Vandals ran rampant. Roads became jokes and in a few cases residents actually found it more convenient to get around by horse as a final irony in a town that practically invented the automobile assembly line. Someone had taken to planting trees in the larger potholes and when nobody corrected the situation, the trees flourished and grew proudly in once wide lanes of travel with tree root systems bursting up to speed the natural biodegradation of the highways. Water mains burst with no financial means to repair them and residents took to collecting rainwater from rooftop gutters funneled into 55gallon barrel cisterns. Federal grants, loans and hype made vain attempts at modernizing and repairing sections of the city but the original cancer of black hatred toward whites was in the bone, metastasized and terminal. The usual envy, jealousy, racism and charges of outsiders moving in to take over the city were used to foment antagonism toward any effective leadership and so any improvement was counter-attacked with crime, vandalism, assassination and menacing threats. Popular celebrity well-spoken blacks were recruited to lead but after the shooting of one, Highland Park became a virtual no-mans land. No police, no law, no roads, it became the favorite destination of bad men wanted by the law. Attempts were made to penetrate the city with overewhelming law enforcement but although the city was taken and occupied a few times, the ringleader of the insurgent movement, William X, could never be located and forces loyal to William harassed the occupying forces with sniper fire and roadside bombs. The decision was finally made to abandon Highland Park and Detroit and a huge enclosing fence was constructed around their perimeter. The American and Canadian Coast Guards patrolled the recently renamed Windsor River with shoot to kill orders for anyone attempting an escape by water. Detroit and Highland Park became combined Federal and State Prison. Guards posted at the perimeter had shoot to kill orders and seismic sensors monitored any underground digging activity to prevent inmates from tunneling out. Michigan got rich receiving entrance fees from other states using the prison to dump their undesirables and saving the cost of long-term incarcertion. Turf wars began to emerge and sections of the city were organized primarilly along racial lines with blacks, whites and hispanics about evenly populating Detroit. Highland Park was the center of the prison and was ruled with a firm grip by the iron fist of William "All Talk" X. As Detroit and Highland Park represented a significant land area, buildings were torn down and roads were ripped up to make more land available for agriculture as the prisoners needed to feed themselves. Turf warfare had long made crop yields extremely lean but famine and disease had made the inmates weak but more agreeable to compromises that made farming successful. Eventually, around the year 2020, the last of Detroits burned out skyscrapers had come crashing down with inmates using the rubble to reinforce the caves they lived in that were interspersed among their crops. Kwame "Gangsta Mayor" Kilpatrick was finally convicted and sentenced to the very prison he'd once misruled as mayor and instantly set off the turf war to end all turf wars. "All Talk" and "Gangsta Mayor" couldn't stand one another and some reports attribute the main spark being set off by the fight over a woman but all we know is that unlimited warfare broke out. Some smuggling across the Windsor River into the Detroit and HP Federal Penitentiary had been silently condoned for years without realizing that a significant stockpile of weapons had been traded in exchange for much of the valuable art work that had been left behind in Detroit when it collapsed. It was these weapons that led to the virtual extermination of the entire population of the prison. With both their forces evenly annihilated, Kwame and William met with the remains of their ragtag forces on a site near the Windsor river where the Ren Cen had once stood. Both armies, starving and only partially clothed, consisting mainly of women and children were armed with clubs, rocks and a scattering of bows and arrows as ammunition had been exhausted in previous bloody engagements. As buzzards circled over the city with huge plumes of smoke from crops burning throughout the prison, Kwame urged his force to charge simultaneously with the order from William X to his forces to charge. The lame, weak and exhausted forces limped toward another and with the last ounces of strength killed each other. Kwame K and William X stood alone, the last survivors, looking across the RenCen battlefield. As they looked out over the panorama of what once was Detroit, they surveyed piles of rubble, burned forest and scorched crops. A stench of death hung in the air as buzzards swooped down to feast on human carrion. Kwame pulled his pistol and blew his brains out. William X muttered, "I won" and then found a tree and hung himself. Detroit was a metaphor for the rest of the World and the entire Earth came to resemble in a very short time what Detroit was then. Nuclear, biological and chemical warfare by people consumed with territorial instincts in a World short of territory rendered the Human Species Extinct. God shivered. Satan howled. | ||

There were no records of any successful escape from Detroit while it was a penitentiary but there were several attempts. Most know that about 1000 feet below Detroit exist a network of salt mines. Most of these were blown up by the Feds prior to erecting barricades but prisoners soon discovered that sinking shafts into the ancient mines often uncovered valuable discarded machinery and sometimes fuel. It is suspected that one of these mines served as the hideout for William "the racist"X while he was being hunted down by the National Guard. Legend has it that his extended stay beneath the surface in the dark of the salt mine for so long actually whitened his skin and some myths even suggest he was white all along cleverly using Turtle Wax to blacken his skin prior to the great incarceration. One party was attempting to tunnel their way under the Windsor River into Canada when they stupidly dug too close to the river bottom that collapsed into the mine and drowned everyone. The Ambassador bridge across the Windsor River had been blown up by Canadians soon after Detroit collapsed as home boy possies would travel from the ruins of Detroit to Windsor looking for easy pickings. The Canadians had also created an International incident that had to be mediated by the United Nations when they briefly occupied Belle Isle long enough to blow up the bridge from the Detroit mainland. They didn't want renegade Detroiters having any easier path to Canada than was necessary. The end of electricity in Detroit was a pivotal point in its history and although much power plant equipment was left behind, fuel was in short supply and expertise in how to operate the machinery was nonexistent. Much of the machinery was dismantled and sold as scrap to Canadians in clandestine smuggling operations. Most Detroiters refined their skills at distilling alcohol from corn and apples that eventually became staple crops for the inmates. Distilling alcohol also became necessary as alcohol became the standard unit of barter just as gold and money had once been. Inmates would trade alcohol for goods and services. Under William "the badass" X's domination, regular Sunday evening gatherings fueled by Apple wine and corn liquor would inevitably lead to the torching of one of the remaining Detroit structures. It took about six months to burn every building on Wayne State and a helluva lot of drunken fun was had by all to the extent that grumblings could be heard from perimeter guards that they too wish they could get arrested to destroy the Wayne State memorial to mediocrity, phoney presitige and student hoop jumping. The McGregor library on the Woodward forest trail eventually became William "Robin the Hood" X's gangster headquarters and even amongst his loyal followers it became an inside joke that he would someday get the roof fixed. He liked to appoint steering committees that he like equally to fire and persecute sometimes with human sacrifices held by picking someone out as the evil anonymous that would be shakled at the top of whatever building he decided should be torched during the Sunday "get it together" meetings. But all good things must come to an end and the righteous arrival of the young Brother Kwame soon disrupted the existing power structure. Some say she was an FBI plant but other attribute it to mere coincidence but the fact remains that William "the infidel" X became enamored with Kwame's lady Christine "Do you know who the F__k I am" Beatty and all hell broke loose with alliances and armies quickly formed. But you know the rest of the story and before it became a hot, poisonous cinder, there was a place on Earth called Detroit that had once been great, got sick and died. | ||

The area that the Detroit/Highland Park/Hamtramck Federal Penitentiary encompassed was relatively huge but the inmate population at its peak before the KwameK-WilliamX War swelled to nearly three million. To put this in proper perspective, it must be noted that the combined population of Detroit never exceeded two million when it was a city. The boundaries of the prison were the Livernois Ave Rampart on the West, Eight Mile Wall to the North, E Outer and Conner Barricade on the East and the mined and patrolled Windsor River to the South. Historians have begun analyzing how such a large population was able to sustain itself with the limited amount of farmland available. Although almost all of the land was devoted to farming after destruction of the twentieth century housing, it still did not represent sufficient area to feed three million. Most inmates lived in caves carved in the former basements of homes with reinforced roofs to support the crops grown above. It was a constant struggle to keep roofs intact and water out but stability was eventually gained as the basement areas filled in to form cylindrical caves having little resemblance to the basements they’d once been. Archeologists have recently uncovered evidence that very active smuggling operations took place almost from the very first enclosure of Detroit as a prison and it appears this may explain the ability of inmates to sustain them. Examination of trash piles have revealed tobacco cans and cigarette cartons had been available along with coffee, sugar, malt liquor, pornography, and other luxuries. It was a mystery until recently as to what Detroit inmates may have traded in exchange for the required goods but microscopic examination of the Woodlawn, Forest Lawn, Elmwood and Mt. Elliott Cemetaries plus the Detroit Golf Club shows that a very lucrative cultivation of this land for marijuana took place. Hence, the monikers, Detroit Doobie, Motown Mojo and Hamtramck Hash from that period that competed and surpassed BC Bud for quality and strength. It also appears that the Detroit/Windsor tunnel may have been a main conduit for smuggling. Although the Canadians and Feds considered flooding the tunnel to be sufficient for blocking passage, it appears that it still served as a pipeline for goods beneath the river between Canada and the prison. It is likely that Canada was using Detroit as a destination for its prison population also and a form of trade in people or neo-slavery took place with goods exchanged as the entrance fee for male and female Canadian prison slaves. Religion seems to have played a large part in prison life and it is interesting how it evolved into a strange hodgepodge mixture of Christian, Muslim, Jewish, Voodoo and Pagan ritual. Although Sunday’s were still special for worship, rituals included anonymous human sacrifice, burnt offerings as selected buildings were torched, transmutation of apple wine into the rage of Malcolm X and Eminem and others all conducted to the beat of drum orchestras, hallucinogenic dervish dancing and group howling. It should be emphasized that the prison for much of its history was divided along racial lines with constant raids and warfare conducted between groups. Surprise attacks, ambush, guerilla warfare were practiced constantly. The true mark of manhood was to sneak into another camp and kidnap a woman of a different race undetected. Discovery and capture meant certain death during the Sunday evening follies but display of your other-color woman was a sign of great power and courage and men found the challenge irresistible. It is speculated that continuance of this challenge would have eliminated racial distinctions within twenty years if continued without the devastation of the Hispanic and white races during the 2015 Intifada where the forces of William X were able to masterfully surprise and exterminate huge swaths of blue eyed and Spanish speaking devils. Most of the warfare seems to have focused on control of the Windsor/Detroit tunnel obviously because whomever controlled this major trading access post was far more affluent and powerful. Alternative smuggling access points have been discovered but the amount of trade was trivial in comparison to the tunnel and hence the importance of the tunnel. Post-Intifada but Pre-Kwame life in the prison was peaceful with William X dominating politically and judicially although some question his wisdom of taking five white wives to the great consternation of the available brown sugar. His sacrifice of anonymous steering committee members also created unease among his followers and it is widely agreed that assassination plots were well in the works at the time of King Kwame’s arrival. It doesn’t take a historical genius to predict the clash of egos that would quickly erupt with William “Sugar Daddy” X and Kwame “Don’t Need Massahs Permission” Kilpatrick getting in each other’s faces. But this is a whole separate story best covered in the great historical tome written by Doctor Truth entitled, “The Bitch that Launched a Million Lips: How Christine Lit the Detroit Genocide” | ||

Well I am here to tell you if you think that you need to go and get admitted to the nearest drug rehab center.That BS you call posting my 5 year old grandbaby could do better then that.I enjoy watching you change screen names because it shows me two things,(1): you are not worth me spending the rest of my life behind bars for defending myself,(2): That you are one lonely ass person with nothing but time on your hand to play with yourself.Now make a comeback under one of your cloned names.The day is very near when everyone on here will know who you are,where you live,and I am sure most will be shocked to learn who you are.In the meantime I will still be around. | ||

Did I say it was on? I SAID what I said and meant what I said. Now you can take it anyway you choose that's on you.However to me posting is like writing a anonymous letter nobody knows nothing but the anonymous person him or herself.Like Brother Thomas said in a recent post typing big and hiding only shows the true cowardship of a person.That's like someone calling the police to bust a drug house.I feel why hide if one is doing the right thing? Here in America we have to rights to bare arms for protection from unwanted Predators and crime.It is in the 2nd admendment.Why waste time typing words on a screen? That's not scaring nobody but only showing how coward a person really is,and a sneaky person one should never trust.We all have the Nigger With A Attitude to a certain degree regardless to skin color,but it's how we control our attitudes,and deal with a situation.That's why I was man enough to apologize openly.Again the words of the great MalcolmX___If you can't trust your own people then who can you trust? | ||

One of the more interesting footnotes to Detroit’s, Highland Park’s and Hamtramck’s history was the period in 2005 shortly before the collapse and the 2008 transformation of them into prisons. One needs to recall the mood of that time shaped mainly by the post 911 events of a war in Iraq, a war in Afghanistan, a Federal facist Patriot Act, mainstream media’s absolute sedition of silence, great apathy amongst the citizenry who felt impotent to oppose the machinery of fascism, incredible mismanagement of citizen taxes with amazing amounts of money wasted in a bottomless pit of war, policing Iraqi and Afghan foreigners, and rebuilding of Iraqi and Afghan infrastructure all while totally ignoring the decay and decline of the communities from which the fascist government extracted taxes and chumps to fight in their manipulated wars. It was phenomenal that a majority of individual Americans understood and knew that their government manipulated the events of 911. Americans knew that the Federal government had orchestrated the entire event. Some details are missing but it was commonly known that the buildings couldn’t have fallen due to fire and were blown up as controlled demolitions (www.911research.com). They knew that the Pentagon was hit by something other than a 757 as photos show the hole wasn’t large enough and no bodies, seats, luggage or engines were extracted. The fascists simply denied any video existed and that seems to have been enough to silence the average citizen. And the Americans did NOTHING!!!! The owner of the World Trade Center is shown on video actually admitting that he and the NYFD decided to pull down Building seven with controlled demolition. The 911 Commission opted not to interrogate him during their investigation. NIST, National Institute of Standards and Technology simply ignored it when performing their investigation instead claiming that some small fires in lower floors caused the building to collapse, perfectly vertically at the acceleration of gravity and through the path of maximum resistance. But ironically, perhaps because it had the least to lose, Highland Park demonstrated the single best-organized and effective opposition to the fascists. They almost single-handedly restored peace, democracy and citizen’s rights to the American People. Had they succeeded it is quite certain that justice would have been done, trials held, verdicts announced, sentences issued and high government officials executed before military firing squads. The Highland Park insurrection that virally spread into Detroit and Hamtramck started as a grass roots operation instigated within a HP City Council meeting. It’s not certain who instigated it but mythical references credit the leadership to someone named Urbanator. The blockade lasted nine days before being overthrown by massive Federal and State forces. A total news blackout was instituted during and after and the vast majority of Americans had no knowledge of what had taken place in the Detroit area. At its peak, the blockade included nearly two million participants with nearly one million automobiles, trucks and buses clogging the main highway arteries through Detroit, Highland Park and Hamtramck. Numbers are difficult to determine but it is known that lethal force was used by the Federal Government against unarmed citizenry. Civil disobedience was met by uncivil government criminal behavior and shots were fired. Different estimates count the dead at somewhere between 20000 and 100000. Fiscal collapse happened soon after and the ultimate punishment and humiliation of turning the entire area into a prison occurred soon after. One comedic event of the blockade that has survived the erasure of history by the federal government was the antics and proclamations of Highland Park citizen at the time, William Akbar X. It seems William was actually in the City Council Chambers when Urbanator made her proposal. It is reported he argued forcefully against it and stormed out of the room shouting racial epithets at those staying behind when he realized he lost the vote that was taken for real action. At one point during the blockade when the I-75 and Davison Freeway were completely clogged with automobiles, William patrolled the highway with a bullhorn announcing that outsiders should go home, stay out of Highland Park and that they didn’t need no help in controlling the situation. Fortunately, he eventually got tired and went home to throw darts at a photograph of Ramona Pearson. His absence from the blockade saved his life and allowed him to later rule over the area as Pharoah of the Prison from his McGregor Library palace. | ||

OUTSIDE AGITATOR aka James Lubinskas.Here is a piece of history showing how dirty and lowdown you whites are,since you want to go racist on this site.We can turn this site into the HP CONFLICT if you choose to do so.Now put this in your damn pipe and smoke it. The Detroit Riots of 1943 and 1967 were both devastating race riots. These horrible events were a product of many issues that resulted in heightening racial tensions. Some of these causes were inadequate housing for blacks, the refusal of some whites to work alongside blacks, U.S. involvement in war, and unemployment. One of the most important of these issues was the uneven distribution of housing offered to blacks and whites. -------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ The roots of the Detroit Riots lie in its history. The city of Detroit was part of the Underground Railroad, the last stop before Canada. This led to a large amount of escaped slave settlers in the city. These former slaves settled into a white community, which resulted in much racial diversity and led to racial tension. Both the black and white populations grew when Detroit became the industrial capital for World War I. Job migration decreased after the Great Depression, but rose again during World War II. Racism was a big problem in Detroit because most of its white inhabitants had migrated from the South and still lived by the Jim Crow Laws. The Jim Crow Laws was a law code that segregated blacks and whites. The Ku Klux Klan influenced Detroit’s white population. The Black Legion also became widespread. The Black Legion was an organization of whites that worked to obtain jobs for the white Southern settlers that moved into Detroit. However they ended up becoming a violent hate group that targeted African Americans, Jews, Catholics, and others. After the court convicted the Black Legion leader Virgil F. Effiger, they released a list of its members. This list included a state legislator, the state sales tax manager, a treasurer, a few sheriffs, and other government employed officials. Other causes of the riots were the wars that were occurring at the time. During the 1943 riot, the United States was in World War II; during 1967, the U.S. was in the Vietnam War. This increasing racial tension between the ethnic groups, the involvement in international wars, as well as the poor living conditions in the city sparked the riots. -------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ The riot was built upon the racial hatred between the whites (mainly Polish) and the blacks. The hatred erupted on a hot and humid summer day in 1943 when a fistfight started between a black man and a white man. This single fight led to chaos. By the time the officials arrived, the fighting had already spread all over Detroit. White mobs had been going around the city beating blacks and destroying their houses and cars. The African Americans asked to mayor to send troops but he denied the request. Finally, President Roosevelt declared a state of emergency and sent in 6,000 troops with jeeps and trucks to patrol the city. Twenty-four years later in 1967, another riot broke out in Detroit. Why did it happen? The Vietnam War was being fought, which caused the government to focus on foreign issues, neglecting domestic problems. The Civil Rights Movement and the Black power Movement were also in full swing at the time. These movements brought pride to the black community, making them willing to fight back. Most importantly, nothing was done to change the conditions that had caused the riot in 1943. -------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ Housing shortages were a big problem in Detroit. This was one of the major factors that sparked the riots. The African Americans lacked houses and when new housing complexes were built, they were offered to whites first. The blacks lived in the two slums of Detroit: the East Side and part of the West Side. Even though they had money, the black population was unable to find houses they could buy or rent. At the time, there were very few areas in the United States that were as crowded. The city of Detroit had been deficient at keeping up with the number of Southern drifters. Between 1930 and 1942, 12,000 families moved into the city; however only about 5,200 housing facilities were built. After the 1943 riots very little was done to change the conditions. As the black population grew, the more area they owned grew as well, still leaving them in crowded slums. That is why riots occurred again in 1967. -------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ After 1943, little was done to solve the problems in Detroit. This was due to the still racist and close-minded views held by people at the time. The government even blamed the African Americans for the riot. However after the 1967 riots, people realized that the problem shouldn’t be shoved aside and blamed on the African Americans. There have been many steps taken to help prevent these riots from happening again. The distribution of housing has been much better. The community around Twelfth St. (the site of the ’67 riots) has been peaceful in recent years. Much effort has been devoted to rebuilding the community. Twelfth St. has been renovated and renamed Rosa Parks Blvd. Many shops have opened along the new wider street. The more business that opens there the better the area will flourish. People are willing to invest in their neighborhood to see it become a better place. -------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ The city of Detroit is becoming a better place. The community has set aside their racial differences for the most part and gotten together to make it a better place to live. Housing distribution has gotten better, however it still isn’t perfect. The reforms being made in Detroit show that discrimination has lessened over time and people are learning to respect those who are different from them. Despite these great reforms there are still many problems in Detroit such as police brutality and economic inequality. | ||

The only reason there may be less racial problems in Detroit is because there's only one race left. Detroit is the most racially segregated city in the United States. Detroit is the most racist city in the United States. Detroit is probably the last place in the United States where anybody wants to move. It used to be a great city. It was safe. It was clean. It was prosperous. It was well-managed. Its schools were integrated and black people living there were much better off than the places from where they had come. It wasn't perfect. There were racial problems, housing problems and cultural problems just like in almost every other major city in the United States but what separates Detroit from the others is how its black population chose to behave and respond to white racism. They responded with hate, violence, vandalism, crime and an extremely virulent form of black racism. It continues today. Be white in Detroit and feel the hate. Walk white down a Detroit street and hear the hate, see the hate, smell the hate. Blacks hate whites because they know whites built Detroit and that blacks destroyed Detroit. Now even blacks flee Detroit to another place better managed by whites. We can only hope whites never cede these new places to blacks for a similar eventual destruction through hate. | ||

Hahahahaha Why you worried about who destoryed Detroit?Blacks shall live where ever in the hell they choose,and there is NOTHING a white person can do about it but BITCH.Whites have always been the Master Shitstarters,and when the heat get on their asses they run,and most Blacks who suck the white man's butt is in trouble once the white man withdraw his ass.Look at all the Spooks here in Highland Park who had their noses buried in Ramona Pearson's butt.They noses was so deep until they tryed everything to keep Mr Blackwell from taking over.Now He took over anyways them same butt sniffers is now holding on to his leg for dear life,due to the fact they want him to pat them on their head,but the Brother is the best at what he does,and the butt sniffers does not want to be left out with thy old greedy asses. | ||

WilliamX with BLACK POWER post on Sunday, June 05, 2005 - 7:44 pm: Memorial Day I met a WW2 vet who said he felt housing grants available to white vets (I've ordered a book he recommended... can't recall the exact wording right now) was a big part of the surburban exodus in the 40's... "not that he wanted to leave Detroit" In recent news: http://www.zmag.org/content/showarticle.cfm?Sectio nID=30&ItemID=8034 "Racial segregation just keeps growing and growing... four specific areas where discrimination in housing is particularly glaring: * predatory lending schemes that target Latinos, African Americans and other people of color * women who are victims of domestic violence denied housing because of the potential for violence in their households * immigrants denied housing for, among other things, complaining about conditions in their apartments * and, persons with disabilities effectively denied housing when landlords refuse to make reasonable accommodations." | ||

In her biography, “Brotha Wilma”, written while she was in prison, William “powder puff” X, revealed how she came to adopt a male identity along with a new muslim name. She acknowledged that she’d always been dog ugly and a bit big with a manly physique but it was during the showing of the movie, “Malcolm X” in 1992 when she resolved to change her identity. She had always felt weak as a woman, sometimes beaten, sometimes used, lied to by men and angry to the point of boiling over at the feeling of betrayal toward her people that had wrecked Highland Park. She had paid to see the movie about ten times already when she saw a clear path to her new identity. She saw how defeated Malcolm Little had reinvented himself while in prison emerging as the heroic Malcolm X. She, Wilma Green, saw herself in a prison of poverty and hopelessness surrounded by dishonest, degraded shiftless blacks with a fringe of uncle tom wannabe tyrants of H.P. And she knew being a woman just wouldn’t do. Maybe if she were white she could pull it off but to be heroic in Highland Park required she have a manhood and a manhood she would have. She left the movie during that tenth showing as William X and it was the last time she’d walk in a dress. She hurried home, she gathered her female clothing and tossed it in the trash. One of her old good-for-nothing boyfriends had left some his clothes behind and with a few minor alterations they fit well. Wilma cut her hair man-style and with a pair of horn-rimmed glasses she was William Akbar X. With a dash of cologne, a double windsor knot, a sugar daddy pinstripe suit, William practiced his facial manner in front of a mirror for hours. William X became a man but she knew she’d have to prove it and so she walked out into the street and with a strut, cool shuffle and menacing façade she proceeded to get in people’s faces. She always knew she was strong. She had beaten off her older brothers from the age of ten and had wounded her father as he attempted the same. She knew she could handle herself. But to her surprise she found she didn’t have to. Being large and resolved and mean and ready, those she confronted backed down. If they pulled a knife she knew she’d be ready. If they pulled a gun, she knew she’d be ready. But nothing. They got out of her way. Nobody wanted to mess with William X and nobody ever came close to guessing she’d once been Wilma, the timid, gentle, tolerant Wilma. And Wilma, William X swore to himself and his maker that he would take over. Highland Park would be his city and nobody would stop him. But fate threw a cruel curve ball and Highland Park went into receivership and lo and behold a white woman was appointed ruler over H.P. William had been prepared for battle; he’d psyched himself for physical altercations if need be. But when he first laid eyes on Ramona, he knew he’d have to wait. Had he remained Wilma, starting stuff with Ramona might have been okay. But regardless of race, any man, let alone a black man getting in whitey Ramona’s face would be political suicide. He’d have to wait for man to fight. Ironically, when Art Blackwell finally took over, William seems to have been unprepared and his biography states that it took some testosterone injections bought from a local body builder pusher, to get his spiritual bull in focus. But the day came when the two bulls squared off and Art backed down letting William lead the HP Council meetings though Art was defacto boss. By all accounts, William X, was a superior leader and effectively motivated the citizens of H.P. to clean up their act. Some admit it he bullied, beat and threatened the unwilling but most came around and those that didn’t got hounded out to Detroit. He organized his posse and got his crews specialized for road repair, abandoned house removal, crime control and intimidation of any outsiders especially if they were white. Crime still happened in H.P. under William X rule but only at the orders of William X. If you weren’t on the same page as William X and his homeboys, your page was ripped out. He got a Cadillac and with some selected sugar babies driving and riding shotgun, he’d have himself chauffeured though Highland Park on Sunday afternoons in circuitous route up and down Woodward and Hamilton. He’d survey his loyal followers standing at the street’s edge to pay homage to their leader. His homeboy agents would be interspersed through the crowd listening and watching for any signs of discontent or disrespect for handling later on. It was Urbanator that gave him his greatest challenge. She was cute with a fine ass and well spoken manner and William X as a man had nothing but frustration when dealing with another woman. Urbanator’s proposal to make Highland Park the center of protest against United States government 911 conspirators didn’t fit William X’s program. He saw it as dangerous picking a fight with the Feds and it turns out that he was right. It was a constant battle for William X pretending to being a man while all along having a pussy between his legs. It threw him off balance when another woman was his opponent. Urbanator got it voted in that Highland Parkers would get in their cars and block I-75, I-96, I-696 and the Davison Freeway on July 4th, 2005. William X shouted and cursed and threatened but to now avail. The 4th of July protest beat all protests and by July 13th most of the population of Highland Park would be dead at the hands of the Federal government and its Nazi stormtroopers. Many others would be dead too as the protest had spread out to suburbs as far as Ann Arbor and there is some evidence that other cities in the United States had smaller similar protests. But Highland Park was ground zero and the Feds quickly zeroed in on Urbanator who was at the intersection of I-75 and Davison monitoring the viral spread of the protest using cellphone communication with agents strategically spread throughout Southeastern Michigan. Some report she was assassinated. Some say she ran. Television, radio and internet communication were quickly dominated by the government and a news blackout was installed. If one turned on the TV looking for news of the blockade, one would only find endless reruns of Fear Factor, Gilligan’s Island, the Mob Squad and Soul Train. But William X would not die that day. He would survive along with many of his most loyal homeboys and brown sugar. Big Daddy, William X had planned for federal intervention and had built and supplied a hideout for his small army while the feds searched for him. Like Saddam Hussein, he never slept in the same place twice in a row and it was a constant movement from safe house to safe house. Actually cave to cave. Caves or bunkers were excavated beneath basements of nondescript Highland Park homes and the Feds never even came close to finding him. William X’s insurgent guerilla fighters took their toll amongst the whore troops and the insurrections and anarchy that quickly developed in other American cities relieved William X and he was able to emerge with his bodyguards to rule openly in his turf of Highland Park. William X was never charged with any crime but when Highland Park and Detroit became a prison in 2008, he too was imprisoned and did not try to escape. William X new that better to be the defacto warden in the Highland Park gulag than to be Wilma outside. | ||

My post from June 11th touched on "predatory lending schemes" and somewhere in the HP Discussion is a topic about the new HP housing development. I'd forgotten about MCA and can now understand why the price tag and "rent to own" program was mistrusted. ============== "Southfield-based MCA, which once employed more than 1,000 people, cheated investors in Michigan and across the nation out of $256 million. In January 1999, MCA shut its doors and laid off its employees without warning. At the time, the company controlled more than 4,000 houses -- most of them rentals in Detroit and Highland Park. Some people lost their property in the scam. About 2,700 Michigan investors lost money, most notably Detroit's police and fire pension fund, which lost a $60 million investment. The former MCA officials were charged with selling investments in mortgages and land contracts that the company assembled into investment pools from 1991 to 1999. They misrepresented how the pools performed and inflated the value of mortgages and land contracts." http://www.detnews.com/2005/business/0507/22/C01-2 56113.htm | ||
