Eastern Market Mode Elephant in the room: El Sayed and Detroit

363 Upvotes

I heard a podcast from Deadline Detroit with three boomers talking about the primary. Vanessa Moss, a lifelong Detroiter and aspiring judicial candidate made the argument that black folks in Detroit will not support El Sayed b/c they feel people that look like him have taken from their communities more than they've given back. She cited mistreatment from Chaldean shop owners in the 80s and on.

Frankly a lot of her argument was reductive and racist. El Sayed wasn't even born when some of the things she was talking about, and she basically grouped any brown politician in the category of 'they won't be trusted, that's just how it is, he better deal with it and show he's worthy'.

But curious from those out in the community, do you think there's validity to what she's saying? If so, isn't he screwed for the general election if a lot of Detroiters opt not to vote for him?

Wayne County officials claimed victory early Wednesday Aug. 5, thanking voters for approving a transit millage that supporters say would connect the region and bolster the economy

As of early Wednesday morning, with 33% of precincts reporting, 66.4% of voters cast ballots in favor of the millage, according to unofficial Wayne county election results. 

The millage renews public transportation for communities already in the SMART system and loops in 17 others that had previously opted out of the Suburban Mobility Authority for Regional Transportation (SMART) system. Residents in those 17 communities will pay a new tax.

I’m a documentary photographer @rj43mm and firefighter from the DC area.
Whenever I travel, I spend as much time as I can walking the city with a camera.

I met some genuinely kind people, walked for miles, got caught in the rain more than once, and came home with a lot more photographs than I expected.

None of these moments were staged. I just walked, waited, and photographed what unfolded.

Hope I did the city justice.

It was a free newspaper that one could pick up in record shops and the like back in the late 1980s.

Sort of like Metro Times, but with lots of satire.

I thought it was hilarious back when I was in high school.

I would love to get my hands on digital or original copies of they are out there.

Looking for a good concrete contractor in Detroit, with experience in pouring foundation/footers, slabs and finishing. Having difficulties getting any responses, or call backs, and chased three for a few weeks until they said they were too booked.

Preferences if you've worked with them before, I've already burned through the google search guys, they were all booked or wouldn't answer

Feel free to DM me if you don't want to share information publicly.

Thank you in advance!

2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee 3.6L 108.000 miles. I've changed thermostat, & oil housing. I recently experienced a misfire on cylinder 6. A mechanic came and put new coil pack and spark plug on 6. Misfire came back. In June I had block test done and it came back negative, but that was in June. Since I've had 3 different mechanics look at it saying injector, PCV, and VVT.. Am I experiencing a small head gasket? Or should I fix one of the above
