There really is no reason to have this freeway there. It makes the area worse and goes nowhere.

This being the United states, I'll go ahead and assume it was designed to go through (or isolate) a black neighborhood.
Not really applicable, as Detroit is one of the blackest cities in the U.S., with ~80% black population. It's a high-speed corridor from the northern and northwestern suburbs to downtown. The east, west, and south also have freeways heading downtown.
