#1 a city reparations committee to recommend housing and economic development programs for Black Detroiters

Is there any other kind of Detroiter today?

Blacks demanding reparations from ... blacks is the equivalent of the Irish demanding that the Irish government apologize for the Famine

#2 The Tytler quote:

A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the world's greatest civilizations has been 200 years.
Great nations rise and fall. The people go from bondage to spiritual truth, to great courage, from courage to liberty, from liberty to abundance, from abundance to selfishness, from selfishness to complacency, from complacency to apathy, from apathy to dependence, from dependence back again to bondage.
