Black-Owned Businesses Are Quietly Powering Detroit's Resurgence, But No One's Talking About It

They are bringing foreigners into detroit though to repower this resurgence. They've already allowed foreign individuals to buy up a good portion of the property out there. Good effort but in 15 years alot of these businesses may end up being bought out, like Barbershop 1 and 2.

In the words of every serious Black leader, "do for self". Dope shyt

That's good. We don't need the publicity though, let us be great on our own

I feel what you saying but they break they necks to report the black negative. News media should be held accountable for either reporting just as much of the good and positive or don't report on a black story good or bad at all.

Hmm, we spoke to a bunch of African American entrepreneurs, community leaders and residents last months in several neighborhoods (Osborne, Hope Village, East Jefferson, Brightmoor etc) and a common theme we heard was that the entrepreneurial and incubator community that people say are leading the resurgence is not reflective of the population of Detroit.
