As a native detroiter, the blacks aren't the reason the city became a hell hole, its because the american automotive and heavy industry moved overseas. The thing that drove the economy of the city (and most of the rust belt) pulled out because they could make shit cheaper, and the entire city just began rapidly deflating and depressing in value.
It was always a nasty city, but there was a huge siphon of upward mobility. Once that got cut off everyone who could get out, got out.
