A rarity, maybe a first: Michigan's Repub gov is using the emergency manager law for Allen Park, which is almost entirely white
@DanaHoule Posted it about an hour ago and no one has yet corrected me. Isn't Ecorse whitest city previously EMed?

@emptywheel I'm pretty sure Ecorse--where my grandmother lived as a teen--is majority black. -
@DanaHoule And actually census says Ecorse is currently 46% black, 44% white. -
@emptywheel But AP is 96% white, so this is the first time the law's been used on a city w essentially no minority population. -
@DanaHoule Right. That was the point I made. First time the city wasn't suffering from BOTH globalization and white flight.
