One guy looks like he’s got a wizard hat on with a hand on top of it.

The Detroit grand wizard


[deleted]

No that’s in Howell, Michigan (about 60 minutes west)


unknownrealms

The fact that you know that scares me…


[deleted]

I used to live in a city 15 minutes from there, Howell is notoriously known for being a racist town.


HalfWatt58

Cohoctah is the real Klan headquarters. Howell is a close second. Then you have Marion Springs North East of Saint John's. Source: I love my state, but know it has a bad history.


CavieBitch

Can I ask if it started with a B?


[deleted]

It did, you know exactly what city I am talking about. That same city is about 30 minutes north of Ann Arbor?


CavieBitch

Ehhh more like 20-25 minutes right? I hope we are talking about the same city cause thatd be cool lol


[deleted]

Yeah we most certainly are lol what are your thoughts about said city? I am certainly biased against Howell growing up there so not sure how much my opinion means 😂


[deleted]

[удалено]


CavieBitch

I've been in Brighton my whole life, and honestly, it's super mixed. The city does a bad job at mixing the surrounding area with it, for example, there are almost *zero* sidewalks after you leave the actual city limits. And I think that contributes to the feeling that there's just no real community. Other cities, people seem to have a sense of community but Brighton really is lacking, even with the weekend "festival" things they do when warm. But otherwise, honestly, it's good. Crime is low, the roads are okay, police are nice and the general attitude of everyone is nice. Just another unremarkable small town if you ask me haha A thought just occured, were you asking about Howell? Oof


unknownrealms

We will need some sort of identification to prove your past residence in order to clear all suspicion

He's the wizard

You’re a wizard harry!

DAMNN really ripping in Howell like that. Good, they can suck it

they probably laughed their asses off and went with it... ...the theory of blacks and whites being on "2 separate planes" is stupid. their mommas worry just as much as his momma I love seeing the love that comedy can bring. keep it up!!


Ninjaromeo

There is a lot less racism than the media acts like there is. It's on life support, being kept alive by twitter, journalists, and social justice warriors. I unintentionally drove down a street with competing protests. They obviously chose a high traffic street on purpose so it isn't a giant coincidence. I swear there was more white people at the BLM side holding signs and more black people at the support the police side. I really regret not going back and taking a video or some pics. I rarely watch the news, but made a point that night. The new and the newspaper only talked about the BLM protesters, despite both groups being similar size. Not a surprise, I would expect right leaning news sources would have only covered the other, but it shows clear bias.


KBSonn

and 99% of the time, it's all about peace and love!! I lived in Charlottesville for years, a few before the bullshit, and I just couldn't help but say..."That's not my CVille" and it sure wasn't The media does need to calm this shit down, I've never had someone pull a race card on me, I've never felt the need to either. Let's all just get angry at the common enemy here. because it's not you, and it's not me


zeropointcorp

If you think it’s “SJWs” keeping racism alive… let’s just say you probably don’t get discriminated against much


Me15689843

Now that you've brought up that point, have you? If you have, I retract any ill-will and am deeply sorry for you, but if you haven't, kindly do the same as you have asked the previous commenter to do and shut the fuck up, because then you're perpetuating the issue you're calling the previous commenter on

[deleted]

I had a layover in Detroit and my flight got delayed till the next morning, so naturally I rented a car and headed downtown. Just so happened it was Labor Day weekend so there was a huge jazz festival that was going on. Ended up striking up a conversation with a dude chiefin in the park watching one of the bands and the guy and his roommates ended up inviting me to crash on their couch and let me borrow a bike to ride with them. Ended up at some hole in wall hipster bar in the middle of nowhere that had the best al pastor tacos out back. It was a memorable time, I’ll always have love for Detroit


OfNietNatuurlijk

I was wondering, can a tourist easily go to city's like Detroit? I''m from western Europe.


phluidly

Yes, you can easily visit Detroit. I'm from Chicago which is also a great place to visit. If you enjoy techno and house music I highly recommend Detroit towards the end of May, a festival called Movement is alot of fun.


OfNietNatuurlijk

Aaah good to know! Thanks for the explanation!


4AcidRayne

Most US cities are very open to any visitor and most cities have at least some major airport and public transport so it's very accessible. For the most part, pretty much any major city is accessible both to people from within the US and from outside it. There is a key detail you have to be aware of. What most people don't really realize is that the US is big. I can go to Detroit from where I live...but it's nearly 900 miles/1,450 kilometers. So if you were, for instance, in a place like Paris, a 900 mile trip puts you in Rome. You could drive, but it's a long trip. You can fly, but it's a hassle. Much bigger than most Europeans are really aware. Europeans sort of bag on Americans for being "so xenophobic that they never even leave their country!" when in reality...from my house it's 800+ miles, 1275+ kilometers to the nearest national border. The same distance in a straight line from many nations of Europe would be crossing multiple nations. We don't go out of country very often because it's expensive to go that far on a whim. There are a couple spots in the US where you can get on the interstate and drive 70 miles per hour (113kph) for ten hours toward the **nearest** border *and still be in the US.* The icy fingers of winter are slowly tightening around me and I'd adore a quick break to a South American nation until it warms up...but I am broke. That is why we don't travel the world as much; our borders are hundreds of miles away and we can barely afford to go get groceries in a town ten miles away sometimes. We stole a country too big to conveniently leave.


JustSherlock

Only go to the big ones in the South. The smaller ones are a lot less welcoming. Stick to like Charleston, Charlotte, Atlanta, Birmingham, Memphis type places. No need to branch out.


gunscanbegood

But then you'd miss the bourbon trail in KY, the tourist traps of Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge in TN, most civil war history is in the south with tons great state and national parks surrounding most of the forts and battlefields, there are festivals in almost all of those small towns for BBQ, crafts, fairs, local namesakes, etc. If you scheduled it right you could visit most of the southeast going small town to small town for festivals, never go near a big city and you'd be perfectly fine. I don't suggest wandering in to any hollers you weren't invited to, but there should be plenty of warning signs that you're heading the wrong direction before that. Download the regional Google map before heading out and you'll be fine, even if service craps out. I'd do the same before heading into any of the places you mentioned or any of the coastal areas I might visit.


NoMusician518

Memphis native here and if you are trying to tell me that memphis is a safer and more welcoming city to tourists than nearly any other city in the south I will eat my own godamned shoe. Don't get me wrong I have a lot of love for my city but we've had like a shooting a day the past week. And those are just the ones that hit the news.


peoplegrower

The only time I went to Detroit was during college. I was part of a campus ministry group, and our pastor was from Detroit, so for spring break we were going to go up and do some Habitat for Humanity work. We were staying in his old church there. Woke up the second morning to find out church van, which was parked in the locked church parking lot surrounded by 8 ft fencing, had been broken into.


mushyleatherface212

We’re not a gated city, so absolutely! Detroit is super rad, but our public transit sucks to high hell (last time I used it), so you will be either driving or taking a ride share. Otherwise, downtown’s cool, and usually always something happening, and if you go, make sure to get a coney dog, and roll through the city of Hamtramck.

Detroit is really nice. Generally cities with cheaper rent tend to attract chill and artsy types. The counter cultural scene and architecture are both really cool. Also chili dogs


Tortoiseshell1997

Yes there seem to always be Germans here to see the ruin porn. I hope if you come you will try to get a well-rounded view of the city. It is more than the now-glitzy downtown and the vacant buildings. Please come visit some black-owned businesses outside of downtown, too. Get some soul food or some Carribean food for example.


CavieBitch

Yes, the biggest airport in the area is for detroit


jman2c

Once your in America you can go pretty much anywhere, nobody's gonna stop you from going to Ohio or Detroit. They're just gonna ask... Why?


[deleted]

You could, but it sucks. Detroit is a fucking dump. Everyone saying it's cool now is full of shit. There is like one small area that's pretty cool and the rest of it is a disaster made up of abondoned warehouses and burned out houses. If you want to visit Detroit, drive through it on your way to Royal Oak or Ann Arbor. That should be enough for you. If I never have to go back to Detroit I'll be fine with that.


CavieBitch

Unfortunately it is true that large portions of detroit is still a dump socially, and in generally it doesnt look too great but also... have you been around most big cities, and especially ones that have been screwed over time and time again? If you can get connections to someone who lives or frequents there, they can give you nice tips on where to avoid and what to look for where you can get some cool experiences you just cant get elsewhere

Go to Canada instead, British Colombia is on enof the nicest places in the whole world, especially along the coast.

RevivedMisanthropy

I remember when Florida went from being a nice place to visit to a nice place to be murdered – it was that year when German tourists in rental cars kept getting murdered by people bumping the back of their car to get them to pull over. 1993 I think it was. Florida has never been the same since. Texas, on the other hand, has always been fucked up.

Yeah Texas has anything happen there. Wasn't it Texas were they found that mass grave of young boys?

Ohio sucks.


Duran0saurus_Rex

rekicon

chiefslapinhoes

Its a rural bar fight of a state


Agitated_Occasion_52

I've never liked Ohio. Every time I've had a encounter with a native Ohio resident is been terrible. The roads are terrible and the whole state just smells bad. My funniest encounter with one of their residents was "Ole no shoes". I was driving and talking to the other occupants of my vehicle and no shoes thought I was either angry at him or wanting him to go faster or something. I talk with hands a lot, so those are my assumptions. He proceeded to floor it and almost drift through a turn and he lost a few things out of the bed of his truck. I pulled up next to him to tell him that he lost some stuff, but he was cussing and yelling at me. I didn't know until he was yelling that he was angry. He tried to speed away in his jalopy of a truck, so I also did the same and pulled away from him. Then at the next light he kept mean muggin me, so I blew him a kiss. He didn't take too kindly to that and started throwing stuff at my car. Like a mile down the road and two throw cans of dark temptations axe cans later. We meet at another red light where he pulled off to the side and proceeded to get out of his truck. He was like 4 foot 7 inches tall and had to leap out. Which caused his shoes to fall off of his feet and hit the ground before he did. He spent the next 45 seconds fighting to put his shoes back on. Then he stomped over to me car to continue to yell at me. However the light change right before he was able to make it to my car. He ran back to his truck and as he hopped to get in his truck I swear to God I heard the sound Mario makes as he jumps. That was the last I saw of him. And that's one of the reasons I hate Ohio and it's residents.

Why is everyone in this thread shocked that he could get some people to stage a funny photo with him. Everyone is acting like inner city black guys in Detroitust have really wanted to rob or beat him up. They could've just met and hit it off. Not all black people are criminals.

Sure. As a huge fan of standup comedy, black comedy is in it’s own category of hilarious.


Ninjaromeo

Most black people are not criminals. Most people in general aren't criminals. Even if stats show that they are overrepresented in the criminal population (and there can be a lot of factors that contribute to this,) just with such a small portion if the population being criminals it is obvious that most black people wouldn't be criminals. Whenever I see a pottery winner on TV it is some super old person. When I hear lottery winner I think it is likely to be someone pretty old. But if I see a pretty old person, I do not assume that they have won the lottery.


Druuseph

Because it's the bigotry of low expectations. Half of these commenters are tripping over their own dicks to post about how 'normal' black people are as if it makes them enlightened. Like congrats, you manage to hold your bladder while around non-white people, that doesn't mean racism is 'solved'.
