"Detroit was founded on July 24, 1701, by the Frenchman Antoine de la Mothe Cadillac.
Recent linguistic studies have revealed that the word “Detroit” is actually an acronym for an old French phrase that roughly translates as: “Holy ****! Where the hell did all these *** come from?!?
I’m moving to Quebec!”
Eyebrow-raising historical fact about Detroit (from Wikipedia): “Because of this local sentiment (sympathy for slaves escaping from the South), many Detroiters volunteered to fight during the American Civil War, including the 24th Michigan Infantry Regiment (part of the legendary Iron Brigade) which fought with distinction and suffered 82% casualties at Gettysburg in 1863. Abraham Lincoln is quoted as saying Thank God for Michigan!”
Many ancestors of these soldiers now gather annually in the metro Detroit suburbs for a banquet called the “What The Hell Did Our Forefathers Do That For?” dinner.
The event that shaped modern-day Detroit occurred in 1904 with the founding of the Ford Motors plant. Over the following years, Henry Ford made a conscious decision to hire nig-nogs to break the human-filled unions and get the cheapest labor he could find. Porch monkeys from the South decided to stomach Michigan winters and moved to Detroit in vast herds. Historians have labeled this exodus from the South to cities in the North (including Detroit) “The Great Migration.” “Great for who?” is a logical and obvious question.
Here is a list of people who would say the Great Chimp Migration was anything but great:
White property owners, taxpayers, the police, corrections officials, anyone with an average sense of smell, loss prevention specialists, school teachers.
