PK NOTE: Back at it tomorrow. Did I miss anything?

The good folks at Antelope Hill Press, who have already re-published Whitey on the Moon and Black Mecca Down (both edited and beautifully put together with new covers) have just re-published the biggest book yet from Paul Kersey, Escape from Detroit: The Collapse of America’s Black Metropolis. This is the one that started it all back in 2012.

From the back cover:

Once known as “the Paris of the Midwest” and “America’s Black Metropolis,” Detroit has been in disrepair and decay for decades. In this lively yet sober anthology of forty-five articles, Paul Kersey tackles the hard truth of why the once great city no longer shines as a beacon of high civilization: above all, the change in its demographics from a majority-White city to a majority-Black one.

Escape from Detroit: The Collapse of America’s Black Metropolis is a biting history of how political corruption and racial strife took down one of America’s most prestigious cities. Once a household name associated with American industrial might, Detroit has since become a symbol of American urban dysfunction. The election of Detroit’s first Black mayor in 1973 acted as an accelerant for the accumulating incompetence, crime, and corruption-and the concomitant exodus of Whites from the crumbling city.

Originally published in 2012, Escape from Detroit has since fallen out of print due to deplatforming, and is now being resurrected and preserved by Antelope Hill Publishing in this newly-edited edition.

If interested in a signed copy (of any of the new editions of the books), send me an email at [email protected]. Very proud and honored that the awesome team at Antelope Hill have put out these three beautiful volumes. More to come!

  4. Musn’t forget that those black rascals were the ones who decided to dismantle the American automobile industry, and send the good jobs overseas to cheap-labor-camp nations. Then the cheeky commie ingrates had the nerve to claim that this was the act of our benevolent oligarchs who selflessly obey the sacred Free Market’s commands so we can all be rich like them!

    OFF TOPIC COURTESY OF BREITBART

    Every time this topic or a similarly related topic comes up, I like to point out a simple but endearing fact about my Mother. I was born and grew up in the Mississippi Delta in Arkansas, about 30 minutes North of Memphis, TN. Nothing but cotton and soybean fields. My Mom picked cotton from sun up ’til sundown, for many years before she finally got a job in a manufacturing plant. Anyway, this was in the early 60’s, when I was not yet in elementary school.
    My Mom drug one of those close to 10 ft long canvas cotton sacks, that was strapped onto her shoulder. She drug it up and down those long cotton row’s, sometimes in mud and water. All day, in the hot blazing sun, with millions of mosquito’s. Not to mention the snakes she had to be aware of constantly. Rattle snakes and Cottonmouth’s. Me, a brother who was a year older, and my sister who was a year younger, came with our Mom to the fields. No such thing as child care or babysitters then, at least for poor people.

    Anyway, us kids would play and run ahead of our Mom, between those cotton rows, and we would pick little piles of that “white gold”, and as my Mom trudged and pulled her sack along, she would stop and pick up our piles, and smile at us and tell us what great helpers we were. Anyway, as I stated initially, for maybe 12 to 14 hours, she picked that cotton. If you don’t know much about cotton, when it’s ready to be picked, that cotton bolls open up, like a blooming flower, has like four hard fingers that open up and expose the cotton.
    It kind of hard, maybe leather like in texture, and at the very end of each finger, is a very almost needle-like hard point. Cotton pickers all wore those brown cotton “jersey gloves”, very soft, but not so durable. By the end of every day, all the tips of those gloves would be gone, with my moms bloody finger tips exposed. She did this 6 days a week, Monday thru Saturday.

    She got paid 3 cents for every pound she picked. All the times I was in those fields with my Mom, one thing we never saw was a black person picking cotton. It was all white people doing the picking. In the late 50’s and the first couple of years in the 60’s, it was mainly people who did all the picking, then around ’63-’64, you started seeing the big diesel engine Cotton Pickers. My point after that text ramble, Is I guarantee you Spike Lee, Sam Jackson, Barkley, or any other of these racist and entitled aholes never picked one boll of cotton in their lives. So damn sick of that bs.

    Decades ago, in a case of the parasite killing its host—when Detroit still made cars but the UAW and Democrats were ruining the industry—, a black janitor whose only duty was sweeping up the lunchroom after lunch, who otherwise spent the day watching TV, made $90,000 a year. Today they’ve got a Christian-mocking witch as governor amidst the ruins.

    Detroit is the model black city. Nearly every urban area in America is moving in that direction and the primary variable is percentage of blacks currently in those cities. My city is close to 30% black now and it is already very dangerous with a school system that is destroyed and over 40% black. Unfortunately most Whites are still conditioned to believe that the problem isn’t so much race as “socio-economics”.

  8. anarchyst says:

    Here are my personal experiences with feral simian blacks…and coming of age during the transformation of Detroit from a majority white city to its present dysfunctional state…

    My “redpilled” awakening about blacks occurred at an early age. From day one, when I first encountered “them”, I could tell that they were “different”, both in temperament and ability.

    Coming of age in the days of “civil-rights (for some)” I observed for myself the “double standard” which existed at the time. In school, feral blacks were treated deferentially, quite often not being punished as severely or at all, for infractions and behavior that a white person would be sanctioned severely for.

    You see, it was not blacks who were “oppressed”, it was us whites.

    In fact, Detroit’s public high schools had “black students unions” that were successful in getting the American flag removed from the front of the schools and replacing them with “black nationalist” flags.

    The ordeal that us white students had to go through was harrowing, to say the least. White students did not use the restrooms, as a “beatdown” by multiple blacks was usually the result.

    Blacks never fought one-on-one, the simian “pack mentality” was evident then as is today. They would jump around, hooting and hollering just like feral simians while attacking their white “victim”.

    Any attempts by whites to defend themselves was met with indifference, and even outright hostility from the black school officials. You see, even then, blacks were not “responsible” for their behavior.

    Blacks did not want to learn, the same situation that still exists today. Even then, blacks were disruptive. You see, just as is the case today, excelling at education is “acting white” and is frowned upon by fellow black “students”. Most of the teachers just shrugged their shoulders, let the disruptions go on until the next class period.

    Almost all teachers were deferential to blacks, although there were a few good teachers who tried to carefully shield their White and Asian students (us) from predatory blacks, giving us additional attention and coursework, knowing that we would excel in spite of the, violent, raucous atmosphere.

    From an early age, one had to be aware of one’s surroundings, especially when the neighborhoods were “changing”.

    Two blacks riding one bicycle (one pedaling and the other on the handlebars) were trouble. If you had a bicycle, the “rider” would jump off and knock you off your bicycle and steal it. You would never see it again. Reporting the theft to police was useless, as even in those days, blacks were “oppressed” and could do no wrong.

    In more recent years (still decades past from today) I still don’t want the “nice black guy” or “nice black couple” in my neighborhood. They might be “nice” but their “hoodrat” relatives are another story. Blacks, even the “good” ones all have criminal “hoodrat” relatives.

    I lived in Detroit and had what I considered to be “good” neighbors. Initially, we helped each other from time-to-time, looked out for one another, had relatively friendly relations and in general, got along well.

    The “troubles” started when my “good neighbors” invited their “ghetto rat” relatives to their parties.

    I restored an old car to near showroom condition and parked it in my driveway. The “ghetto rats” decided that my car would be a good place to sit (on the hood).

    Asking them to remove themselves was met with responses of “f#ck you white m’fer” and other derogatory responses. Upon discussing the situation with my “good neighbor”, he pretty much told me that “boys will be boys” and to “get over it”.

    My friendly relations with that neighbor cooled, as he was not willing to straighten out his “ghetto rat” relatives. Soon after, these “ghetto rats” found new avenues in which to ply their criminal “stock in trade” in our neighborhood- breaking into cars and ransacking houses–easy (white) targets…

    Soon after, I moved to an all-white enclave after that, giving up on the city of Detroit, the criminality, harassment, and civic abuse, and have never been happier.

    This is why it’s perfectly legitimate for whites to not want the “nice black couple” to move into their neighborhood and is most certainly a legitimate concern…

    Diane Fossey or Jane Goodall did not have to go to Africa to study simian behavior. They could have studied such behavior in any major black urban area. Of course, they would have to be armed.

    I stand by my statements. I am PROUD to be considered “racist” and wear my “racism” as a “badge of honor”.

    Best regards,

    Before Detroit and the auto plants there were Chicago and St Louis as major Midwest cities. Now St Louis is in the same condition as Detroit and Chicago neatly so.

    I can’t think of one major city that has not been destroyed by blacks. And their Jew enablers.

    Very true. Post WWII, an invasion of dusky splabs from down South infested the ranks of the car companies on the factory floor. The Commie bleeding hearts of the UAW welcomed the negro “worker” infestation with open arms. The results were predictable–worthless, lazy idiots with a chip on their shoulders, who didn’t give a crap about their work and had zero loyalty, protected by a powerful union.

    What could possibly go wrong? LOL. And it only got worse and worse in the 60s and 70s and 80s, just like everything else in America.

  13. I was in downtown Detroit, trapped in a car, watching the black “citizens’ of MoTown loot and burn down the city. I was young and it took me a long time to understand what was really going on.

  14. As a Detroit refugee myself, I can state unequivocally that this country has no future, given the demographic ascendancy of dark people of various types, with the feral black underbelly being the most egregious culprits. The future belongs to China and Russia. Bet on it!

    All these alien shits living in our Western culture and civilization need to be purged out. Just like in centuries past when none of these negroes, arabs, hindus, far-eastern orientals were not living in our Western civilization. The leftists jews are a different matter. By the way nobody in the West will ever see me wanting to move to say Hindustan, Cambodia, sub-saharan africa (forget about it) or with the mahammadans. Why would I ever want to go live with these people. Like I’ve said before the people flow is all in one direction, into the West.

    Thanks I sent your comment to a folder I can send or show to any POS blathering about oppressed blacks. I have some pictures of very shabby oppressed looking White kids look younger than ten working on the docks in a southern harbor. One of the girls wore shoes. Others were barefoot. All scrawny, not slim but scrawny

    64 years of very aggressive affirmative action against Whites it’s a different situation from Mexico and Brazil. In those countries the competent White or almost White are hired or allowed to run businesses. You won’t find any worthless affirmative action Drs and nurses in those countries. They might be part or mostly Indian or even black. But they weren’t hired because they’re black.

    In America everything’s been affirmative action for the incompetent and useless since Match 1961 Executive Order 10925. Signed by anti White President Kennedy written by one of his Jew handlers Arthur Goldberg.

    Read Kaiser vs Weber 1979 in which the Supreme Court found and ordered that a steel mill foreman didn’t gave be able to read operations manuals and memos fill out payroll and other forms or know anything about making steel. Including the temperatures necessary during the process and the temperature at which the steel turns into useless slag. Or the ingredients to make steel it’s not just melted iron ore.

    As long as he’s black he gets the promotion. Also a high school diploma or GED wasn’t required either because it’s discrimination. In 1979 not 1939 when most southerners went to work as kids.

  25. Alden says:
    @AceDeuce

    I thought Henry Ford 1 brought the blacks to Detroit from the earliest days. Along with Lebanon Arabs White southerners and every European country with unemployment and poverty. A melange of races and ethnicities who didn’t speak the same language. Many found and brought to Detroit by labor contractors. Maybe I’m wrong? 😑

    One of the tragedies of WW2 was with the White men all in the military blacks were brought to all the cities. In 1940 Oakland Ca was considered a much much nicer place to live than San Francisco. Because of better weather and bigger houses and lots. . Blacks went to work in the port. By 1950 Oakland was a crime ridden hellhole. Same thing happened in the Bayview Potrero Hill neighborhoods of San Francisco. All White in 1940. Criminal ghetto by 1950. Because of the blacks brought during the eat.

    Same for many “decent” mostly White cities in this dying nation. East St. Louis Ill comes to mind as it was voted in the early 50’s as one of the top ten cities to raise a family. Fast forward to just 25 years later, its a crime riddled, munt infested toilet. An Illinois Bell Telephone guy I worked with back in the 80’s told me about one of the DEI hires a White woman working for Bell was kidnapped while working by 3 primates, was raped and murdered. They killed her by shoving the barrel of a shotgun in her vagina and pulling the trigger. That after bludgeoning her head so badly with the stock of the rifle her family could barely identify her. One can only imagine after Trump is gone and the ape and burrito lovers take back over how long it’ll take for this country to be overrun by gangs and the Cartel.

    Just when it looked impossible, Chicago found a mayor worse than Lightfoot. Johnson is one of those who relates EVERYTHING to race. Every failure he puts his constituents through is the fault of racists. He is perhaps the dumbest politician in America. My son still lives in Chicago. His neighborhood is one of the nicer working class neighborhoods, but it is all Democrat. He says the entire neighborhood is hard to speak to on any level. He used to laugh about their lack of common sense. Now he just gets sick watching the political show.

    Your experiences with blacks dovetails with that of millions of other white Americans. I feel a lot of empathy reading of your travails with the failed racial branch.
