Brittany Brown: “No running water in Jackson. The heat index is 102 degrees. Schools and universities are closed. No way to cook, clean, bathe. This is the capital city, and the biggest city in Mississippi.”

No running water in Jackson. The heat index is 102 degrees. Schools and universities are closed. No way to cook, clean, bathe. This is capital city, and the biggest city in Mississippi. #jxnwatercrisis

Keep voting for republicans and eventually MS can be last in everything. Or at least be proudly neck and neck with KY for the bottom spot.

The city of Jackson is Democrat controlled and has been for many years. They own/operate/maintain the water system. I’m not saying that matters, but the facts matter.

A Kentucky dinner time prayer;
“Dear Lord, thank ya for Mississippi,
Otherwise we’d be number 50.”
Amen

Town brags about being the most black radical town in the US. All levels of power controlled by blacks. So of course is white conservatives at fault. SMH

The whole problem is rooted in racism. White people moved out when Jackson started electing black leaders. “

Why would it matter what color the constituents or leaders are?

Upkeep and maintenance know no color.

Well, it is Mississippi after all. That would be somewhere between Rhodesia and Zimbabwe along the road to South Africa. Lots of ambition but no go. Nothing but a big freaking boat anchor.

Poorest and blackest state in the usa. Now, that is bottom of the barrel.

The entire region is one of the worst in a growing list of open festering sores in this country with a black bottom.

You can’t fix it with money. If money would work it would all be fixed by now.

At least they grow good catfish. Even that has not panned out so well. I don’t exactly see a lot of catfish specials in the grocery store.

How crazy to talk about this being the fault of white folks because white people moved out.

There’s been a lot of criticism over the decades about white flight out of our major cities.

But then , when white or other more affluent people move back into cities , it is said that they are creating gentrification , which is also criticized by black leaders.

Bottom line is that you just can’t win. White and/or affluent people will be criticized no matter what they do

Why don’t they have running water in Jackson? Sounds like a personal problem to me. If I did not pay my water bill. I would not have running water either.

On the surface, the apparent cause of this crisis is damaged infrastructure: Recent flooding strained the city’s largest water treatment plant, O.B. Curtis, which was already dogged with problems. Plus, there was another issue with water pumps at a secondary treatment facility known as J.H. Fewell. As a result, many of the city’s water towers remain nearly empty, leaving the system without enough water or water pressure to fill pipes in homes, schools, and businesses.

But we can save Ukraine. /sarcasm

I guess the racist part is where he implies that black leaders are inherently incompetent?

Maybe send in some Mexicans. Mexicans in California have ethnically cleansed entire communities of blacks.

Remember Watts, where blacks rioted and burned the city down?

Watts Demographics today · Hispanic. 74% · African American. 22% · Asian. 1% · White. 1% · Two or more races. 1% · Other race. 0% · American Indian or Alaska native. 0%.

https://www.niche.com/places-to-live/n/watts-los-angeles-ca/residents/

For those unaware, the Mexicans are taking over California and blacks aren’t faring too well. When the Mexicans reach a critical demographic mass, all the white, racist, BLM females will be voted out of office in places like LA.

What exists in California now, won’t be around when the Mexicans take over. That means Newsome is gone along with his racist white and black legislators in Sacramento.

FReepers who predicted that Mexicans would own California were right. Give yourselves a pat on the back for your foresight.

I read that the state wanted to take over the water system because of the structural problems and the city’s mismanagement, but the city government refused.

from CNN: “Advocates have previously pointed to systemic and environmental racism as among the causes of Jackson’s ongoing water issues and lack of resources to address them. About 82.5% of Jackson’s population identifies as Black or African American, according to census data, while the state’s legislature is majority White.”

Guess what? So did every successful black person.
