Detroit at one time was a majority white city. But during the 1970s, all the white people moved out of Detroit to the suburbs only leaving black people in the city.
White people started moving out en masse after the 1967 riots. My granddad said he remembered the riots in 1967 and was coming home from work the day the riots started.
Detroit was the city in the USA with the highest black population so I always saw black people all the time, everywhere I went. I could go days and weeks without seeing a white person unless it was a cop or a teacher/administrator that worked at my school. It was as black as any city in Africa. There were no white girls at any school I went to except in preschool and then there was one white girl when I was in the 9th grade.
