I’m fascinated and disappointed that some Detroiter’s are happy that Miley Cyrus has blamed her ill-advised corrupt behavior on some brief time she spent here in the city, as a minor no less, filming a movie. I hate to be the one to point this out; you can’t biologically or emotionally grow up after a few weeks in a city filming a movie. My guess is, you grew up long before you got here, in Franklin, Tennessee and the glare of the Hollyweird. You decided to blame Detroit because they’re already sporting a black eye for so many other dysfunctions. Why not? Who’s going to care if you throw them under the bus? It’s just Detroit, right? Shame on you!

Getting tattoos, hanging out in nightclubs and drinking. Good job, Detroit! You’ve raised yet another fine citizen…according to you and Miley Cyrus. I don’t understand why someone would revel in that ignorance. Detroit, you should be insulted by the mention. Frankly, she owes you an apology for that outright lie and sneak put down. I’m calling BS on Miley Cyrus and those of you who are happy for the negative shout-out. That is nothing, and I repeat, that is nothing to be proud of.

Detroit is a city in the midst of bankruptcy, poverty, high crime rates, a break down in city services and so much more. Give Detroit a break, Miss Cyrus and blame the environment where your formidable years were spent. When you were video smoking Salvia from a bong as a teen, my guess is, you didn’t pick that habit up while you were here. Twerking, licking out your tongue while chasing some man around on stage with a foam finger, are also not talents you picked up in the ‘D.’

The very last thing you need is more negative attention. The next time you need a reason for being the person that you are, Miley Cyrus, blame the people that actually raised you…your parents. They raised you far from the inner city of Detroit. You grew up in a life of privilege in Franklin, Tennessee and Hollywood. My guess is, they were so busy trying to be your friend, they forgot to give you the morals and values you so desperately need.

You are young woman in transition and we’ll give you a pass to make some mistakes, we all do. I’m not judging you for those things. However, I’d like for you not to point the finger in the wrong direction. Don’t blame Detroit because it’s acceptable to kick them while they’re down.
