Media Figures Make The Jackson Water Crisis All About Racism [Memories of New Orleans & Hurricane Katrina]
Daily Caller ^ | 09/03/22 | Harold Hutchinson

Liberal media outlets and figures blamed a long-running water crisis in Jackson, Mississippi, on racism in the wake of Republican Gov. Tate Reeves declaring a state of emergency. --- Reeves warned residents of Jackson, the state’s capital, not to drink the tap water due to the failure of water pumps at the city’s main water treatment plant Monday after the Pearl River flooded. National Guard troops began assisting efforts to deliver bottled water to the city’s 180,000 residents. Many liberal media figures, including reporters from NBC and MSNBC hosts, claimed racism was the cause of the crisis.

Gee, this seems familiar! The MSM has this pernicious habit of seizing on a crisis / disaster, then looks up the chain-of-command to find a 'R' office holder to fasten blame upon. They do this as a knee-jerk reflex so that the blame is publicized even before the ink is dry! Later, MAYBE, a fuller story is told but the MSM by that time has moved on and it is 'old news'!

Same thing for the Flint Michigan water crisis, the problem started way before the 'R' governor but it is HIS FAULT! For Katrina, how many years of waste on those pumping stations? Where did those gov.grants go for their upgrades? Lining the 'D'onkey Party graft pockets?

It is about racism…black racism.
Incompetent blacks voted for a professed black nationalist.
Embrace the suck.

Decades of Leftist libtard policies.
Has nothing to do with race.
But to the Leftist libtard media, deflection is modus operandi.

Nature is racist. For that matter, water is racist.

Hell, everything is racist according to Critical Race Theory.

And your denial of that fact is what proves it is inherently racist. If you weren't racist, you would admit it.

The soft bigotry of low expectations. What they are all saying is that black people are dependent on whites for clean water. When the Great Replacement is done, better keep a few of us around to keep the lights on and water running.

They focused on activism and diversity.

60 years of DEM rule, now they want to blame someone else when their incompetence and corruption rise to the front pages.

See uninhabitable Baltimore and Minneapolis.

Woke, Woke, Crash

These people haven’t been forced to pay their water bills for a decade I heard on the radio news the other day.

You shouldn’t have let us try to govern ourselves.

That talk was for public consumption, you knew we couldn’t do anything that couldn’t be done with a slogan, a ceremony, or kickbacks alone.

This is microcosm of schools today, and media today.

Jill Biden’s thesis was that Community Colleges should get more money.

40 yrs to total collapse in this country.

By the time blacks take over a neighborhood it may be fifty to sixty years old.

Blacks should have built anew rather than coveting what whites had and abusing federal force to push whites out of their homes.

How’s this:

Attention black People(and the white court jesters around them):

If the water issue us the fault of White racism, why would you want/trust White people to fix the problem?

Think about that.

just my $0.02 (from the hood)

Apparently, the city replaced the water meters and there were billing problems.

Jackson had a Republican Mayor from 1977 - 1989. Since then all black Democrats.

Just hand over ‘white’ cash, black crooks and their white accomplices will handle things afterwards.

I’m from there
I’ll be there Tuesday

When it was a white city run by Dixiecrats it ran fine

The gop could likely run a black town better

But it’s out blacks and self government

look around the world

The Black rulers knowledge of water is that it comes out of the faucet.

They ignore why and let the source just wither into destruction

Jackson is over 70% black, so it's not surprising that they've had black Democrat mayors since the late 1980's. That said, if you still have one neuron firing in your head, you'd think someone who runs for mayor on a platform of guaranteed income for all residents probably doesn't understand the basic economic flaw in that promise.

Well, Jackson, that big fat bird has come home to roost on your parched throats...ya' get what you voted for in this case. (In some national elections, that's not the case.)
