“What does Kid Rock’s Debuting at the Little Caesar’s Arena Really Mean?”

By Glenn Peppers

Tuesday evening, Sept 12th, 2017. Protesters marched up Woodward Ave. in Detroit, protesting Kid Rock’s opening of the new Little Caesar’s sports Arena. And well they should, but at the same time, they really should have been protesting those who are behind Kid Rock’s opening of this big giant elephant in the front room!

People Protesting Kid Rock at the Little Caesar's Arena

Kid Rock is in all actuality just capitalizing on all this hype! The once crossover/Hip-Hop influenced recording artist turned full country/rock is making a mint out of all this hoopla!

I say protest The Illitch Co., and all its financial supporters, and those involved in taking all that money from the Detroit Public Schools in order to aid in building of (what I think was) this unnecessary sports arena! They are the ones who sanctioned all this! Kid Rock's debuting at the Little Caesar's Arena is just representative of just how those in power in Michigan actually feel about a lot of the original “Longtime” inhabitants and citizens of Detroit!

All of this is akin and related to ignoring the problems and issues, and water shut-off's, and home foreclosures, and various other forms of "Quietly" continuing the act of bulldozing, and socially engineering america's long awaited and anticipated operation of this giant nationwide program of an "Urban Renewal Project!" 

This is a program started decades ago which would eventually include the gentrificationing of people of color out of the equation in Detroit, and in most american cities all over the country!... Little by little! Day by day! House by house! One burned out crack house, and dead crack baby at a time! One inner city shooting and car jacking, and Trump/Ice deportation and any smattering of racially charged police profiling's and police abuse incidents at a time.

Now that Kid Rock is once again considered officially to be a (country rock and roll) recording artist, and not the Hip Hop/crossover act he started out to be. Kid Rock's debuting at this arena is meant to be more of a symbol than anything else! 

Forget all that confederate flag business! That's old news! You don't have to look far to know where Kid Rock's loyalties and ideals and mindset are concerning people of color and politics! Recent pictures of him cavorting in the oval office with known racist and resident nut case, Ted Nugent and Donald Trump says it all right there!

By way of the photo’s they all took together in the White House, if you didn't get the subtle insinuations, and other inferences, and digs, along with those big "Screw You Gestures that clearly showed through their poses and Body Language!" You need a reality check! Especially if you are someone who feels victimized by this administration, and yet doesn’t see a problem with this kind of consorting in a snide sort of way, then you are so far out of touch, it's not even funny! 

Kid Rock's Opening night at the Little Caesar's Arena, coupled with his new restaurant located just inside the sport complex is Big Business and New Detroit's clear and present Sign-Post! A virtual Sign-Post that openly implies the same sentiment that has been thick in the air in New Detroit’s Downtown/Mid-Town areas for quite some time now. And it is that, "In this New Detroit, People of Color, Are Not Welcomed Here!" 

Kid Rock is the reflection of just what those in Lansing, and in state and local government and big business in Michigan think of people of color! Remember that giant photo mural plastered on the side of that building in downtown Detroit by Dan Gilbert's Bedrock Detroit Co. that had the caption, "See Detroit like we do!" and there was nothing but white people in the picture?

Bedrock Detroit's Message to People of Color, and Everyone Else!

That was not an accident! It was a Declaration! It was Dan Gilbert and his New Detroit companies and supporters telling people of color in Detroit that they can and will do their level best to exclude, expel and eradicate Blacks, Arabs, Hispanics, and yes, even poor folks out of the city! Not leaving out the elderly of course, and anyone else of non-white origin Out of the City of Detroit!

Little by little!... One street shooting, and opioid death and communicable disease and illness at a time! One water Lead Poisoning and lessoned food program at a time! One discontinued basic necessity program for children at a time, and one more axed benefit, and raised tax and insurance rate at a time! They are phasing out blacks and anyone else who they deem unfit to inhabit the city of Detroit!... Slowly!.... Quietly!... One block at a time!... One renovation of those classic old houses at a time, that you will never get a chance to inhabit or purchase, at a time!... And so it goes! 

Kid Rock's representation of this New Detroit sends a clear message! It should be an eye opening revelation that you should not trust very many promises made concerning your health and wellbeing from those running this big machine who say they mean well with you. Not without strict examination and scrutiny!

People who send such strong symbolic messages in such a grandiose tangible way mean what they say, and say what they mean! Yet in some strangely perverted kind of a way, these individuals also like to send out codes and innuendos to taunt and pick at those they go after, before they stick it to you. 

Do you feel like a mouse?... Is New Detroit Chasing all of the mice out of Detroit!...
RUN mice RUN!

Like a cat toying with the mouse he has injured, but hasn’t killed yet! Like the comic book character, The Riddler in those old Batman Comic Books! Offering a riddle to further vex your predicament of figuring out where he’s going to shrike next! 

The Riddler before doing a Dirty Deed!

So if these people so boldly and blatantly mean what they say, and say what they mean concerning your life, livelihood and existence.... Then why shouldn't you!
