For so many , Detroit is just a thought ; and a negative thought at that , with rumors of violence , abandonment and poverty . But for some , Detroit is home and I like to think those people are the privileged ones . It is true that there is violence in the city of Detroit but you show me a city that doesn ’ t have violence and I ’ ll show you a city that has a good PR agent and a very big broom because they ’ re sweeping some things under the rug . It is also true that there is poverty , but to look at Detroit and not look at all of the wonderful things there are to appreciate about it is looking at the glass half empty . My glass is looking pretty full so perhaps it ’ s just your vision .
Contrary to popular belief , Detroit is a city bursting wonder , rich in history and heritage . It is a place unique to any other with the surplus of talent , culinary highlights , and more . Rappers Big Sean , Eminem , Royce 5 9 , NBA retiree Chris Weber , the legendary J . Moss , R & B goddess , Diana Ross , actor John Witherspoon and gospel phenomenon , singer , songwriter , actor and producer Deetrick Haddon are all from Detroit , and proudly they call themselves Detroit natives . ( Just to name a few . The list goes on at http :// www . imdb . com / search / name ? birth _ place = Detroit ,% 20Michigan ,% 20USA )
Rich in diversity , Detroit residents are accepting of each other ’ s ethnic differences because there is a universal struggle for greatness . I ’ ve never experience a hunger for success more than the one in Detroit . Detroiters are survivors , hustlers , fashionistas , trendsetters , enthusiasts , dreamers , and so much more . The people are humble , driven and loyal , traits that are not commonly found elsewhere .
