Most cities in America are reasonable integrated between races but Detroit gave up on race relations completely after the 1960's riots. The whites moved out of Detroit and into the suburbs while backs stayed. Relations were still tense between blacks and whites and many of whites did not want blacks to move into the suburbs. So communities in the suburbs set up heavy regulation and secret alliances with real estate agents to keep blacks out of the city. This map below shows just how segregated the city of Detroit (mostly black) is from the suburbs (mostly white).
