Good article. The doorman when I lived in Lafayette Towers was African -- and he was always studying (he went to WSU). Not sure if he's still there. | ||

Speaking as someone with experience living in west Africa, I support this migration. As the article points out, there tends to be a strong tendency toward entrepreneurship and self-sufficiency among African immigrants, partly because the nature of the state in their home countries leaves much to desire. Detroit needs these kind of good people, who create economic engines. | ||

Yeah, but their food smells really bad when they are cooking. You don't wanna live in the same apartment next door to them. (Have a since of humor people. This is just a JOKE!) | ||
