Keep voting republican Mississippi:
So, there is a tweet, with a picture of a bathtub with water that looks more like used motor oil. And a headline about boiling it. Or something-nother. This is in reference to the water situation in Jackson Miss. Of course, the slow learners at the DUmp automatically assume this is evil racist Rethugs that are up to no good.

15. I hear you, and it's a good question. The problem has existed for many many years.
Neglect, prejudice, lack of caring.....and probably more.
The people have been beaten down so much and for so long, that they cannot find their way to solutions.
I think they need someone good, strong and smart to help lead them out of this mess. And maybe there isn't anyone like that.
I have no real answers but surely someone does.
So, hold that thought for a moment. Were going to circle back to what Al Gore would call an inconvenient truth, in a moment.

4. The people of Jackson
are largely black and vote democratic. It’s not their fault that the white residents are maga.
Just for fun, since this is a Municipal water problem, lets take a look at the "republican racist city council members and mayor" who are clearly at fault for not keeping tabs on the water supply and infrastructure.*According to the Muppets at the DUmp*
Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba (D) (and continues the succesion of approx. 30 years of (D) mayors.)
Ashby Foote (R)
Angelique Charbonet Lee (D)
Kenneth Stokes (D)
Brian Grizzell (D)
Vernon Hartley (D)
Aaron Banks (D)
Virgi Lindsay (D)
Of those 8 folks listed, who, you might think would be interested in clean water, 2 are Caucasian. Once is a (R), and one a (D). The rest, all (D), could best be described as Peoples of Color. I believe that blows up the entire narrative of Racist Water. :p

This thread may as well be called Ronco, because 'wait, there's ,more!':

Well, that IS interesting, Mspiggy, because:
Jackson, Mississippi hasn’t had a Republican mayor since at least 1949. democrats and democrats alone have run Jackson for nearly three-quarters of a century or longer.
And, every Jackson mayor since 1989 has been a black man.
This is known as 'Getting what you voted for, good and hard'.
:ownit:

Ahh.. I messed that up. I got the 1989 fact, and the 1949 fact twisted a bit. But nonetheless, the point is still valid.
Thanks for the clarification.

20. It's mostly black people that vote democratic that are facing this
The white racists in the state don't want to improve things for them.
Well, asshole, youre completely ignoring the fact that the City Council and Mayor, have ignored there problems for decades. Refusing to do anything to improve their situation. Allowing the infrastructure to become so weakened that this happened.
That is NOT the fault of Republicans, White People, or even Trump. Which is what we all know you are thinking.

There's a video in post #12 that explains why the primitives hate is boiling over at the people of MS. Many of the MS residents express that their faith in God is more important to them than money or gov't handouts. That type of belief system just eats the primitives alive.

Except for a few long-termers like brooklynite and former9thward, posting facts like that is a ban-worthy offense on DU.

They tried this same tactic when discussing Flint, MI’s water issues. It didn’t work then, won’t work now.

Flipping DU's script, given MS' history of hurricane damage in the past two decades, what are the Las Vegas odds that Jackson received Federal and/or state $$ for the purpose of repairing and upgrading its water treatment facilities?

If not for the white supremacist Ashby Foote (R), the good black democrats of Jackson would have solved this problem and become a Wokeanda of Mississippi. I know this because every where that black democrat politicians are in power, their cities are a panacea.... like Detroit.

Yeah. Somehow Ashby there, and the White Power have more sway then the other 7 Members. Just a mystery. :whatever:

Given his desire to crash into a Walmart, what are the odds that guy that stole a plane is a Lib/Prog?

Well, since it is Mississippi, the white devil cracked a whip and lynched the missing Member. /end du speculation

What white residents? They all fled to Crystal Springs, Madison, Pearl, Brandon, Raymond, etc. when the black democrats wouldn't deal with the ****ing crime and were stealing millions in funds. Jackson, Ms. is a shithole of Democrat making. Period. :rofl:
JUST like Flint.

Did somebody inadvertently admit that Jackson's water problems are due to Dem mismanglement?

Not worthy of starting a new thread, but there is more stupidity (a real shocker), and flat out blaming Racist White Folks for the water crisis. And just for good measure, the wealthier Black Folk may be to blame as well. I have never seen such stupidity.

White then Black residents abandoned Jackson, propelling its water crisis
Washington Post
Jackson has been under a boil-water notice since late July, with long-standing water system failures exacerbated by recent flooding and broken pumps at the city’s main water plant that left many in the capital city of 150,000 without water last week. It wasn’t clear how soon the system would be fixed, at what cost or by whom.
The opposing circumstances, suffering in Jackson as surrounding towns are spared, are rooted in decades of racism, historians and infrastructure experts say. Those divides rest on the impact of two separate migrations out of the city.
White flight beginning in the 1970s drove onetime Jackson residents into neighboring areas. The city’s decline since then has prompted better-off Black residents to escape Jackson’s failing infrastructure, not just water but also roads and schools. The more recent departures further eroded the city’s tax base, lessening its ability to afford repairs or apply for federal money as its infrastructure crumbled.
Gabriel Killingsworth lives in suburban Clinton with his girlfriend, a registered nurse who bought their brick house in a subdivision last year after living in Jackson. Both are Black. Since this past week, his daughter has been coming from Jackson with her 7-year-old son to shower, eat and do laundry.
Uh Huh. Listen lurking Muppets, that city has been Democrat controlled, well, forever. This problem rests at the hands of the Democrat party who has controlled it. Period.

1. As soon as all the blacks are out...
we can swoop in, purchase properties for pennys, rebuild the water system and wham! Project complete!

2. Why do you imagine anyone would want to buy up property in Jackson?

6. Because one always buys bad places to gentrify
Jackson is the state capital after all, it will have some industry due to that.
Im guessing here that the Muppets want Jackson to stay a Segregated, Abandoned, Swamp-infested, High Crime Area? Sounds about right for the Democrats. Ya know, the party of the Clan and other famous Racists.

11. Seems like the mayor should have been taking action?
Oh snap. How this primitive manages to not receive the ban-hammer is a mystery..

8. Postponing or gundecking maintenance is a
conservative virtue.
Really?
Jackson Ms. - Democrat Controlled
Flint Mi. - Democrat Controlled
New Orleans - Democrat Controlled
Lurking Muppets, do you see a pattern here?

What industry? Nissan, Canton. Milwaukee Tool, Clinton. Continental Tire, Clinton/Bolton. There is VERY little industry in Jackson Proper. It's nothing but a slush fund for black democrats. :rofl:
If those evil whipypo had all the power you claim they'd move the capital out of that shithole. Come debate me. Born and raised in that area of Mississippi. Jackson, then we moved to Raymond the second half of my 10th grade year after we built our house. Jackson is a failed city. It will NEVER come back because the damn leadership cares more about protecting criminals and lining their pockets. White people DID try to revitalize an area called Fondren. It's now crime-ridden. They're right about black people leaving years ago. The sensible ones. My two neighbors across the street from me were black, a Grand Gulf Engineer and an attorney. What's left are ****ing morons.....or money-hungry political shysters. Come on over. I'm down for a good debate but I'll be debating from a place of actual knowledge. Joined the damn Army where I could have died to get out of that crime-ridden shithole.

:rotf: If blacks are doing it too, how exactly is it WHITE Flight?
The city’s decline since then ...
Ummmmmmmmm ... Jackson, MS has had D mayors since before I was born, and Ike was President when I was born. So how exactly are Rs and/or "White Flight" even relevant to Jackson's water system problems? What did 70+ years of Dem mayors do to make Jackson a great and attractive place to live?!

Unbelievably earlier, I found another thread over there about this same darn topic. And once again, a comment about how Repub control did this to Jackson. The level of denial, which I know is nothing new, is astounding.
Im pretty sure the Muppets of the DUmp were the same kids who ignored Nancy Reagans sage advice about saying no to drugs. There is something seriously wrong with the Muppets. Seriously wrong. :???:

DU-folk are notorious for multiplying threads about a very specific/narrow topic. I think their egos tell them, "I can do this better than the other DU members".

This comes from thinking"everything a democrat does is good and benevolent and everything a republican does is bad and evil. So even if democrats do bad and evil things it has to be the republicans. This is a sign of stunted mental development. Hey Skins should have named his hate site that "Democratic Stunted Mental Development."

If only those evil white people stayed and kept their taxes in Jackson, this wouldn't have happened.
