I grew up in Detroit in the late 1950s and 1960s. Things are definitely not better now than they were or in America as a whole. This train wreck was caused by people. At a time when Americans were more trusting - we did not lock our doors at night - our trust was abused by people who came into our neighborhoods to preach their anti-Church, sex with anyone message, plus ‘use illegal drugs.’ “Don’t trust anyone over 30!”
