Sounds to me more like a corrupt City government is at fault.
But that would require actually pinning some responsibility on a black Democrat, and we all know:

This is the first of many southern cities that will fall because of who’s been elected to run them over the last 20 years or so. Just fact.
Larry Langford = crook. He apparently found some shady people on Wall Street to run a scheme with him this time.
He’s been running muni-bond rackets for decades in B’ham, almost since my folks were in high school.
The first big one was an amusement park called Kiddieland - built on the Alabama State Fairgrounds. Langford was the Mayor of Fairfield (a suburban community) at the time.
It was cheaply built, the tops were skimmed on everything, it failed miserably, and investors who bought bonds were left with worthless notes.
20 years later he did the same thing on a grander scale with ‘Visionland’....Birmingham’s supposed answer to Six Flags. Again - built cheap, massively skimmed, utter failure, investors got squat. That park is still around - not sure what it’s called these days.
Also see the Healthsouth trials. His name is all over that failure too, him and Scrushy were buds.
I’m sure he’ll be screaming racism at CNN by sundown. That seems to be his standard rhetort any time he’s accused of being shiftless, which is of course how he gets away with it. The media in B’ham won’t touch him of course.
I hope he gets 50 years.
