Why is Detroit News Editorial Editor Nolan Finley 'reflecting' on ANYTHING when it comes to state of Blacks or African-American people in Detroit and by extension, Southeastern Michigan?

"We can talk all day about why more African-Americans didn't do the same thing. It doesn't matter. We have to understand that we're buying trouble if we don't encourage "more black participation," Finley penned in his first 'column' on Black People.

"This isn't about handouts or set-asides or affirmative action. Nor is it about gentrification, an absolutely ridiculous concern in a city that needs so much rebuilding. I don't even believe it's about racism."

Right, not about racism. Those words full of hot air would figure to be wrote from a White Man whose vain attempts at describing the 'African-American' experience is insulting and laughable.

Especially after a well-known race baiting exchange from 2013 Detroit Mayoral Race debate broadcast on WADL- Channel 30, where Finley threw the first race baiting punch.

After the debate, Finley a WADL Panelist, took his feelings about then Candidate for Mayor of Detroit Tom Barrow onto Fox 2 'Let it Rip" program to call Barrow, who is African-American, a Buffoon.

1. Nolan Finley is an idiot.

He actually wrote editorials for the Detroit News, which is the more conservative of the 2 Detroit newspapers, before the 2 papers merged for the weekend editions to save money. His opinions always disgusted me. I cancelled the Free Press when they decided to stop delivering 3 days a week and expected me to pay them to read the news online.

2. Finley is definitely an idiot.

And we have made the correction in the article from the Free Press to the News. It's amazing anyone would employ such a racist prick to be an editorial editor of any newspaper.

3. Come on back....

If you can. The FreeP app is free for iPad and iPhone. Access to all the stories and maybe a little more. Use it everyday.

4. My cousin, Tom, is no buffoon

I'll just leave it at that.

The choice words that I'd have for Finley would be numerous to say the least.
