oooo pretty!

Indian Village residents are very excited by Detroit Originals because they have bumper stickers that say "Detroiter by Choice". Too bad they most likely want to get small print on the bottom saying "now if only the poor black people wouldn't choose it and would leave."

Maybe I am being too mean. It still just kills me that most of the emails on this list are descriptions of black men walking through the neighborhood who look shady because they are, well, walking through the neighborhood. Or descriptions of black people in shitty cars, or nice cars, driving quickly, or slowly through the neighborhood.

By the way, the other night I drove through the village on the way home and was very excited to see the security company truck patrolling the area. I immediately slammed on the brakes and drove really slowly and stopped at all the houses (many of the emails are about people driving slowly through the neighborhood and stopping at houses). I was hoping to get a shout out on the email list. Apparently my skin is dark, but not that dark.
