If this were martha’s vineyard all those brown people would’ve been shipped out of town a long time ago.
Yeah, the African Americans in charge of Jackson cannot run the city.
The soft bigotry of lowered expectations claims another city full of victims.
What I heard was that there were 100 million dollars worth of unpaid water bills.
It’s always someone else’s fault
Its racist to flee black/Democrat cities and not submit to having your assets looted.
Horse apples.
I see the Liars at Ass Press are at it again.
They don’t even want to go near any speculation that the money to maintain the system got embezzled.
'Systemic Racism' is the answer when the problem is not segregation or discrimination. Look at this city of Jackson MS and look at its priorities. What did / does it do to attract business and internal tax revenue? What favoritism is evident in the spending of the city's coffers? Is that spending biased towards any identifiable group(s)?
How are the contractors vetted or measured? Is there a history of matching political contributions for contracts received? It is human nature to want to 'reward' your supporters but can it be done WHILE still getting the work done? Making a generic accusation of 'systemic racism' is a modern cop-out and a referral to "residents, politicians, experts and activists" is both insufficient and useless.
Reuters is the UK equivalent of the domestic AP, a news aggregator who follows the progressive zeitgeist.
Well, the governor said it's good to drink, so that settles that. Never mind what it smells like. Trust the gov, and drink up.
No, mismanagement and corruption is.
The art to being an inept office holder is having the ability to deflect blame.
It’s not racism, it’s race. Big difference.
Democrats run the city, so they must be racists. Right?
I taught in Jackson Public Schools back in the day. Just to give an example of the corruption:
1. They had a $150,000,000 bond issue to fix the schools. 1/3 of it was gone into shell companies for consulting within months.
2. The superintendent was caught texting a male principal for sex. Both were married.
3. The assistant principal of our school was there only half a year. Why? Because he had to resign as he had paid a male student to suck his toes and was about to be arraigned for sexual abuse of a minor charges.
This was in ONE YEAR. The leadership was all black.
Kenny Stokes is still city council and he’s been in office since the 1980s. Lumumba’s dad used to run the city, now his son does. They’re both radical leftists. Sadly, this water problem is just another scream for federal grants because they’re embezzling the rest.
I knew this story was going to go “there”. When do black folk in charge take responsibility? I saw a picture of the mayor of Jackson and he definitely isn’t stinting on his dudes or hair. I’m sure he gets manicures and buys real nice jewelry also. Looking at the pictures of the council and administrators tells the whole story. There is no racism in this. It is mismanagement. Period!
And that huge reservoir at the edge of town is named after some white dude!
Is low iq and lack of impulse control also the fault of white people? Asking for a friend.
