 Additionally, a commission was established to determine the cause of the riot, despite the obvious and unequal amount of violence toward blacks.Later, it was found that the commission was extremely biased; it blamed the riot on blacks and their community leaders.Detroit's Black leaders identified numerous other substantive causes, including persistent racial discrimination in jobs and housing, frequent police brutality against Blacks and the lack of Black representation on the force, and the daily animosity directed at their people by much of Detroit's white population.
