It's a well established fact, that only whites leave the urban areas. Well to do blacks and other minorities always stay where their children's lives and futures are endangered by drugs and poor schools. 
Hi,
I think what you are seeing is a result of a combination of things. One is the state of the auto industry which has many factors, not the least of which is the unions driving jobs out of the country.
The second is the great society by LBJ. In 1963 he incentivized out of wedlock birth by paying women to bear children. That single act did more to destroy the black family unit than anything else. Now the father had no responsibility, and the young mamas kept getting more money each time they had a child.
I read where the graduation rates in the inner cities are below 50%. Thanks so much to another failed liberal policy, not a surprise however.
When you have three and four generations of folks who have never worked, lived off the government all their life, what you end up with is what you saw after Katrina, people who take no personal responsibility. Why would they leave Detroit? Surely not to go somewhere else to look for a job. Heck they probably get more welfare dollars right where they are. Only problem is businesses and taxpayers are leaving MI in droves so there is no more money to continue to support them.
Of course the politicians jump on this to maintain their power, the whole problem is of course caused by the evil, rich, greedy white man.....who likely has supported their family for generations already.
The real issue to me is how do you stop the cycle?
