As we speak, all sorts of blacks are crying about the failures of Jackson’s water system and claiming that the failures have been the result of “racism” and other alleged evils committed by WHITES.
After Brown v Board of Ed, White Mississippians left Jackson, rather than have their children attend school w Black children. Black families were left behind & the tax base necessary for infrastructure improvements + repairs was decimated. This water crisis = the legacy of racism

“Woke” is understanding that Jackson MS has no water because it has a predominantly Black population &racists in MS government refused to invest in services to Black residents.
“Anti-woke” is the belief that such is perfectly Ok & the real sin is in calling the racism out.

The water crisis in Jackson, MS “is what American structural racism looks like.” Watch @mehdirhasan's monologue on the Mississippi city's water crisis: pic.twitter.com/i2mUCEiobK

Systematic racism in Mississippi is the underlying reason why Jackson doesn't have access to healthy water or the resources needed to address the water crisis.
Unlike our statewide representation, Jackson is ran by Black officials and the majority of our residents are Black.

They’re blaming the state government even though the city’s water system is the city’s government responsibility.
You cannot report on Jackson, MS water without acknowledging the systemic racism that has brought us here. The state govt does very little to help the City of Jackson (a city that's mostly blk). The state frequently undermines the city. Look into the airport situation for proof.

The city of Jackson, MS is under a water emergency. No water for things like fires, bathing, toilet flushing, drinking, etc. Because the state of Mississippi has consistently failed its Jackson residents, that are majority Black, we need a federal response. This is unbelievable

This black accidentally hit on a valid point. It wouldn’t happen to a mostly WHITE city because WHITE people would be running the water system and would not allow it to fall into such disrepair.
What is happening in Jackson, MS and what happened in Flint, MI, cities where Black people live, is unconscionable.
There is no way a predominantly white city in America would go any significant amount of time without clean water.

But let’s look at who is in charge of the water system in Jackson.
Blacks were in charge of this infrastructure and they failed their own people. It is as simple as that. As a result, I could not care if these blacks are forced to start drinking and bathing in their own piss.
You can’t blame WHITES because blacks failed their own race. Calling WHITES “racists” for this is like me blaming a bunch of evil black niggers for my failure to produce a best selling rap album.
