Yes Black Bottom Detroit was removed , but Black then , liberated from confinement in Black Bottom, took over the whole city ! The whole city became overwhelmingly majority Black population. That's how Mayor Young was mayor for 20 years. Detroit became Black Top, with the old Black Bottom area , Greater Lafayette Park populated significantly with Duboisian Talented Tenths, Black Top's like Coleman Young himself.<

The big evidence of what I am saying was the wave of plantclosings and runaway shops, the migration and mobility of plants in the 1980's. - Just in time delivery from thousands of miles
away. This seems obviously a reorganization of production and the "point of production" to me. I will look for more of the materials relevant to this. Somebody mentioned Shaiken. I am not an expert and I never wrote the paper I planned years ago beyond drafts. ( CB: actually i did write an essay ) https://youtube.com/shorts/BeBTfso6gbQ?si=VYVDHkMII577_BgV) From your "card", you can probably get evidences of what I am saying as well or better than I (if what I hypothesize is true ). <
However, I could contact the UAW research dept. if we really pursue this. There is a book by Mike Parker of Solidarity on the team concept. The rank and file workers are not being trained as computer engineers. I'm pretty sure of that. And robots have not taken over or anything. I look forward to your next post.
