Weaver {Flint Mayor} also praised Clinton for highlighting the crisis as an example of racial injustice. “If the kids in a rich suburb of Detroit had been drinking contaminated water and being bathed in it, there would have been action,” Clinton said during Sunday night’s debate.

“The Secretary was exactly right,” Weaver said Tuesday. “We are a predominantly African American community. We also have 40 percent unemployment, so it’s a class issue too. If this were a more affluent community, I think the response would have been different.”
