Segregation

[Dave from Michigan]

Metro Detroit is quite segregated, my town is very white.  Detroit is 83% Black, and Livonia (2 cities over) is 96% white (it was the whites city in the U.S. with a population over 100,000) a few years back.  Racial issues also affect politics here (see Detroit mayor race).  There are only a few majority black suburbs (Southfield).  most cities are either almost white or black.
