Sorry Detroit, But I Just Have To Show This
Just a typical Detroit City Council meeting. They hoot and holler and throw feces at each other. This one's special because President Pro Tem Monica Conyers went nuts and called Council President Ken Cockrel "Shrek". Detroit does not get respect because it does not deserve respect.

I read through the threads of the forum on that page and it has some of ugliest racism I have seen in a while. The whole web page is like a David Allen Coe song. It's god awful.
It's mostly keyboard warriors hiding behind usernames and avatars though.
Is there something I'm missing about detroitiscrap.com? Is all of that racism supposed to be funny? Is this like a satire or something? I hope so because otherwise I'm sad that detroitiscrap.com even exists.

Quit pokin' fun at David Allan Coe. That guy's put out some of the best hard drinkin' music ever.

David Allen Coe has one song that I like. "You don't call me by my name" i think its called. But his racist songs are terrible.
I'm more of an alt-country fan.

Cool deal. Now that we've seen the greatness that is David Allan Coe, let's go back to laughing at the overgrown outhouse known as Detroit. Somewhere in New Orleans, Ray Nagin has seen this video knowing things could always be worse.

The worrying thing is I think most mayoral councils are the same across the world. Because they are 'small politics' they don't have the same media scrutiny as nationwide politicians.
The London Assembly is not much better. Our Mayor's 'Chief Race Advisor', Lee Jasper, sent 'sexy' (I use that in the loosest terms) emails to a woman linked to two organisations that benefited from hundreds of thousands of pounds in grants from City Hall. They are probably the most illiterate, turgid, rediculous prose anyone has ever commited to paper. The guy draws £120,000 and can barely scrawl his own name. Thanks to his currption, thousands of pounds have been 'lost'.
He had the balls to say that the media furore that chased him out of the assembly was 'racist'. Twat.
