An article posted here had Mayor Kunta Kinte saying it was white people’s fault for moving away.
The Mayor is an outspoken black nationalist.
This is exactly the same crap that was pushed in the aftermath of the Katrina disaster. In that case, New Orleans, a city dominated by Democrat leadership, ignored the maintenance and upkeep of their levee system. The city leaders including the Levee Board lined their pockets with local. state and Federal dollars provided to maintain the levee system. And GW Bush was blamed for the disaster because he failed to react as quickly as the local “victims” wanted him to.
Segue to Jackson, Mississippi, seventeen years later. Like the levees in NOLA, maintenance and modernization of the waste water treatment system of Jackson, ignored for years, finally fails. Who could possibly be to blame? Certainly not the Democrats who ruled the City for decades and were totally in charge of the distribution of financial resources. No. It must be environmental racism by the Governor and his ilk.
This is so predictable. But it still makes me want to spit.
Do they stop to think of what they are actually saying with comments like that?
That is a tacit admission that blacks either cannot or will not maintain what has been given to them.
They complain about white supremacy but are more than happy to avail themselves of what white supremacy has provided them with.
O snap!
“Mayor Kunta Kinte saying it was white people’s fault for moving away.”
Wouldn’t that (having white people—who keep blacks down—move away) make it easier for the racist Kinte to make Jackson more efficient?
White people leave - White Flight - wypeepo bad!
White people show up - Gentrification - wypeepo bad!
See how this works?
