Black on black environmental racism? Okay. Good luck with that narrative.

1) blacks gain political power in urban areas

2) urban areas controlled by blacks go to shite because of CONSISTENT MISMANAGAMENT AND CORRUPTION

3) whitey's fault

the truth and nothing but the truth

saying that these issues are 'environmental racism' is the most absurd thing that could ever be said, and a kneejerk of todays REAL RACISTs - journalists and BLACK PEOPLE

Where's all the Wakanda Forever motherfrickers swwoping in and helping a bro is sista in times of "struggle".

NO BLM money to help?

NO NBA players stepping up?

NO NFL players stepping up?

NO RAPPERS STEPPING UP? Especially THOSE "REPPING" MS?

NO Black Caucus calling all blacks to help?

NO Reverend's (cough cough) stepping in for the CNN spotlight?

WTF?

It's only convenient to help when there's an agenda against whitey, so where are they? I mean, since this is obviously only against blacks at the cost of the 58.8% of the god damned white people also without water.

Clown world.

The Democratic Republic of Congo is having a horrible drinking water problem. Black families bear the brunt of that one, too.

More telling is... they've had Democrat mayors for 33 years.

Either some of those later mayors were malicious and greedy and were involved with creating the water crisis.. or they are retards who didn't see anything wrong.

I haven't stayed up to date on this for a while, but I recall when the experienced operator was replaced. Water distribution systems have to have their valves "exercised" a few times a year to keep them from freezing up. A common mistake is to open/close the valves to quickly causing water hammer and leaks throughout the system. You can't just put inexperienced people in charge of this. When they had funding for improvements, they required minority owned businesses to do the work. So much money was wasted on improvements in the past that I have absolutely zero sympathy for the City. This is 100% a problem they created.

It's a well-known fact that water is racist and will seek out POC to inflict special torment

You mean in a city where the vast majority of families are black, they are the ones to "bear the brunt" of widespread water problems?



Where would we be as a society without our current advocacy journalism working constantly and feverishly to paint everything as being worse for blacks?

Probably without a large part of the Fourth Estate because there would be no work for them.

Which would be a marked improvement.

City water system infrastructure is neglected.

The city is the one that neglected it. The city needs to fix it. This is not a national or even a State of Mississippi issue. It is a CITY. OF. JACKSON. issue.

Leave them in the mess they created until they learn that electing competent leaders matter.

Black families face the consequences of their own voting habits and the decisions of the leaders they chose..

Isn't Jackson like 70% black? I mean, wouldn't that be common sense that a predominantly black city would see the highest racial demographic affected the most?

SCIENCE!
