Flint, Michigan and Benton Harbor, Michigan along with many other cities (especially Black ones) already experience having low, poor quality water.

Now we're hearing about Jackson, Mississippi (which is predominantly Black, and 80% Black as of 2020) experiencing water shortages due to dwight manmade causes (not natural droughts) such as broken, deliberately neglected, poorly maintained water systems. This is yet another attempt at carrying out a soft genocide against Black populations.

Oh and I see Aunt Jemima Jemele Hill made this tweet.
No comment on that. 👀

Anytime we have to depend on any form of government we will be fucked over. If we are ever to be at peace in the USA we have to be fully independent.

We have to control the water supply, the power supply, the trash disposal…everything soup to nuts. Anything less will lead to outcomes such as this.

I believe they're doing the same to Jackson. The cacs in charge have no problem sacrificing a major city's population if that city is predominantly Black.
It's a shame, too. Jackson is a beautiful city.

And the roaches of the snow will continue to blame Black people by saying:

"Enough of the excuses. Stop committing crime. Stop being ghetto criminals. Stop rioting and celebrating thugs. Pull up your pants. Pull up your bootstraps. Pay your property taxes. Stay in school. Get a job. Quit listening to rap. Stop smoking weed and cheating the system. Lay off the welfare checks and gubment cheese. Stop having 29 babies with 30 baby daddies. Pay your damn bills and stop complaining. Start cleaning up your neighborhoods. Stop being victims. Obey the law. Stop being poor. Stop acting like uneducated thugs. Learn to Smile."

'Do not drink the water': Mississippi National Guard will hand out water as Jackson's main water facility fails

Mississippi's capital lacks enough water pressure to fight fires, flush toilets and meet other critical needs because its main water treatment facility began failing Monday, the governor said -- a problem officials blame on longstanding water system problems and this week's river flooding.

Falling? Already fell...lol. When has Mississppi been nothing but among the lowest in all kinds of categories. Sad to say.

In these black run cities, maybe I'm assuming too much but you'd think the black officials, mayor, city council etc know they will be messed with because its all black. I am not blaming them. I don't know the facts, but you gotta know the state and the feds are cheering against you losing. Unless of course you were backed by white folks to be in that position. Backed to make sure it loses. I'd like to know how the city officials are in terms of on code, old niggas or whatever.

Yes. I love going there for the culture, but it is extremely dangerous, and the city has entirely too many potholes percentage wise compared to the MS town I live in. This stuff is engineered.

Greenlining? Like redlining but by way of environmental racism? I like that term. The term greenlining perfectly describes environmental anti-Black racism. We need to start using this term.

Also, this environmental racism crisis in America is mainly a Black issue, not a BIPOC one. I don't hear or see this happening to whites as well as Asians, Latinos, Arabs, or even non-Black Native Americans. Not to the same level of extent that it happens to Black people anyways. If it does happen (especially to whites) it usually gets resolved sooner rather than later. Meanwhile, Black people are being told "no", to wait indefinitely, or to vote.

I wonder if these non-Black climate change activists, global warming alarmists, and environmentalists are talking about the water crisis due to the environmental racism going on in Jackson, Mississippi right now. 👀

Problem is the investment leaves so it makes it difficult for Black officials that actually care about the Black citizens to make any real changes.

I wonder how long it will take to fix this problem. They might fix it in chunks, with the richest neighborhoods and business districts getting fixed first.

I read something today where they said the water pressure was restored. But, of course, is the water drinkable?

What can be done to reduce the chances of this happening in another city?

What can be done to reduce the chances of this happening in another city?

Simple things like catching your own rain water and keeping backup supplies of bottle water. Those are the basic things but communities of Black people need to get their heads out their asses and start nation building. We have to fend for ourselves and make sure we provide what we need for ourselves. Something like having the whole neighborhood collect rain water and store it at a center location so they can distribute it themselves could help immensely. It may not be perfect but we have to start thinking in the mind frame of self determination.

"The White man is gonna tear it down." Smh. The majority of our people are defeated. I do see a plethora of new barbershops, hair salons, daycares, wing spots and car washes popping up that are owned by us. I wish we had a much bigger variety of businesses and in more locations. I own a general retail store with competitive prices to mainstream stores. I'm working on starting a wholesale store now so I can do distribution.

Even worse Brett Favre stealing $5million to build an arena when it was clearly needed elsewhere… no media coverage either… they were roasting Michael Vick on ESPN for some dog fights smh

 

[Mud City Savage]

It's depressing that the city and state can't figure out a solution, idk, maybe fixing the problems, the infrastructure, etc. I think each city/state needs to help make sure their people have the water/food/supplies they need whenever they may need them. I hate hearing stories like this, because it's as if the state is just incompetent in fixing these problems. Or just outright lazy to fix anything.

Just like with Flint Michigan with their water crisis, has that even been resolved? It just doesn't make sense that the state doesn't rise to fix the problems.

This is going to keep happening until we get real power.

Can someone please let me know when this corrupt government sends a comprehensive billion dollar package to resolve the water crises in Jackson, Mississippi and other Black cities? If they really had Black people's back and wanted Black votes, these politicians and legislators would've done something to end these water crises already.

In Mississippi,
almost half of the state's rural hospitals are on the brink of closing.
over 2,000 people were recently laid off from a factory.
and the people most impacted are the ones already vulnerable and at the mercy
of that state's corrupt and deeply racist ongoing practices.

With that in mind:

I wonder how long Mississippi will be in denial that they let Brett Favre steal millions
while distracting people with "welfare queen" false narratives. Yet this white man stole
on a level IMPOSSIBLE for poor Black people, some now even without clean water.

Damn shame to still not have running water. Biden is busy sending money to Ukraine while there are water issues in majority Black communities. If all those residents leave, what will happen to those impacted areas? I smell a rat. I figure then they’ll fix the issues, place the illegals there, and have them living comfortably. To hell with these demons.
