BR Water Co is private, which reduces the risks for this kind of thing.
SWB et all will find other ways to frick up, though.

I think it starts with poor leadership. Like 150+ years of if it. Jackson would be the mecca of the world if it were properly led. Instead it was managed. People in Mississippi manage. They don't lead and that's the root of their problems.

Jackson’s population has declined since 1980, a decade after the city’s schools began integrating.
Anyone that didn’t want their little white kid going to school with a black kid didn’t wait 10 years to move. They would have taken their kids out of school immediately.
Suburbanization combined with Jackson being one of many mid-sized cities that began shrinking at the end of the 20th century led to its population decline.

Racism seen as root of water crisis in Mississippi capital
Racism is the root of all evil, replacing money.

Jackson proactively fricked some of the suburbs too.
Byram tried to organize and got a bunch of shitty apartments approved in their backyard before they could finish getting incorporated.
Jackson did that because they had wanted to annex the area and weren’t happy to be rebuffed from what I was told.

so people leaving the cities and crime is racism?
Yes
Also racist to move back into the city because gentrification displaces minorities.

Many white families left for the suburbs, leaving less revenue to maintain the infrastructure. Middle class Black people then moved out to escape urban decay and rising crime.
Sounds to me like "urban decay and crime" are bigger culprits than racism since black people got out too.

Did the water make them retarded or did the retardation make the water crisis?

Do people really think that things are going to go well with a mayor named Chokwe Lumumba?

Black communities can’t take care of themselves. Need white people to make it livable

Whitey damed if he do and damed if he don’t.

Reminder that Jackson has had a Democrat mayor for 120 years now.

Why is “white flight” always treated as a problem with white people?
Access to white people is not a right. It is not an entitlement. It is not white people’s fault that when they're forced to flee their homes things fall apart.
Do people invoking "white flight" as an excuse for inner city disfunction really not realize what they're admitting?

I'd dare guess bullshite like this creates way more racism than is involved in the problem to begin with.

Ahh of course! Racism is the reason for the water problem. We white folk were just too stupid and ate up with white privilege to see it. Nvm that no sane white person would live inside Jackson city limits or that they have had black leadership for decades now. All else fails blame whitey! My sister lives in Brandon, MS on the reservoir and avoids going into Jackson at all cost but when she does she will not go without her gun loaded and chambered right beside her. This is one problem that they can’t blame on white people, sorry. It’s a black city with problems that came from their own residents and leaders who are vastly black. Facts are facts.
