CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I'm saying there is little to no comparison between the two cities. Even their proximity is an anomaly.

****************************************************************
In 1940, Whites were 90.4% of the city's population. Since 1950 the city has seen a major shift in its population to the suburbs. In 1910, fewer than 6,000 blacks called the city home;in 1930 more than 120,000 blacks lived in Detroit. The thousands of African Americans who came to Detroit were part of the Great Migration of the 20th century.
Detroit remains one of the most racially segregated cities in the United States. From the 1940s to the 1970s a second wave of Blacks moved to Detroit to escape Jim Crow laws in the south and find jobs. However, they soon found themselves excluded from white areas of the city—through violence, laws, and economic discrimination (e.g., redlining). White residents attacked black homes: breaking windows, starting fires, and exploding bombs. The pattern of segregation was later magnified by white migration to the suburbs. One of the implications of racial segregation, which correlates with class segregation, may be overall worse health for some populations.

****************************************************************
If Detroit is one of the most racially segregated cities in America, the city, state and nation have no one to blame but themselves.
"Blacks" often faced violence and were excluded from moving into "white" areas.
Windsor did serve as one of the northern destinations of the "underground railway" prior to the Civil War - the fact remains that America is still paying the price for centuries of racial segregation!

Use your logic:
Americans can complain about terrorist killings, but it pales quickly when American on American homicide numbers are presented.
So Americans should shut up about terrorists.

"OldWiseGuy" gives statistics but provides no references - is he using city data, metropolitan data, or mixing the two!

They've gone from "the forgotten" to the exploited.
An improvement? I'll leave that question for the philosophers.
