I live in Downtown Detroit, and own a bar as well. Most of the clientele is white professional- male and female who don't have problems whatsoever, who also happen to live in Detroit. Like any urban city, there are parts you can go to, and parts that you can't-white or black. It's just we've been painted as savages who live in the American version of Beirut. I was in a bar in Thailand(military) talking to a guy and once he founnd out I was from Detroit, he started talking to me like I was a circus freak, and I was the crazy American soldier, instead of the guy he was doin shots with 5 minutes earlier.
