Only Certain Black Lives Matter: The Detroit Shootings of Hakim Littleton, Kelvin Wheeler, NAN, NAACP & Kappa Alpha Psi

First, this happened...

Once upon a time, a bunch of individuals in their early to late twenties, who came roaring into Detroit through the child welfare NGOs and christian youth groups, holed up in a bunch of Detroit Land Bank Authority blighted properties, and set up shop for the #coloredrevolution.

I did not find any other media outlet, except for Buzzfeed, nor did I find any Detroit Black Lives Matter protest groups raise one eyebrow with a shooting which happened down the street, but I did come across this.

Just as pianists must play their instrument’s black and white keys to make great music, so must America draw on her black and white citizens to make a great country. That is why the partnership between the Detroit Branch NAACP and the Michigan Land Use Institute is music to the ears of those who believe in reaching across racial, cultural, and geographic boundaries. And that is why our shared vision must resonate throughout Michigan, from its great southern cities to its splendid northern forests.

Our hopeful partnership aims to replace the unfortunate dearth of urban voices addressing land use issues with a new song that unifies city and countryside in ways that, even very recently, few would have thought possible. Without it, there will be little progress in urban revitalization or land preservation.

Living for the City is a vital first step. Focusing on Detroit, we are addressing three issues crucial to its long-delayed renaissance: Public transit, affordable housing, and race relations.  

Public transit’s goals: Accessible, reliable, convenient, and affordable.

Detroit once operated the nation’s largest municipally owned transit system. Fifty years ago, that system annually carried 492 million riders; the Woodward Avenue trolleys rarely required more than a five-minute wait. Today, Detroit’s transit system is an embarrassment and a trial for those who use it. Yet one-third of Detroit residents have no car; for them, getting to work can be a nightmare. They are constantly at risk of losing their jobs because the buses often make them late for work. Dependable public transportation is a basic necessity that Detroit simply must regain.
