"Systemic racism" behind Flynt water poisoning!

If the neighborhood was Greenwich, CT would the politicians have decided to neglect the water system? Or in this case, willfully downgrade the system to save some money?

I fully expect a nonsensical response.

Who runs Flint?

Nice to see those running Flint and Detroit (the same political party which founded the KKK, fought for keeping slavery etc) is at the very least, consistent over time.


Luckily, Republicans didn't agree with Democrats and racism from the start...



Sen. Hiram Rhodes Revels, R-MS (1822-1901): Already an ordained minister, Revels served as an army chaplain and was responsible for recruiting three additional regiments during the Civil War. He was also elected to the Mississippi Senate in 1869 and the U.S. Senate in 1870, making him America’s first black senator.

Rep. Benjamin Turner, R-AL (1825-1894): Within just five years, Turner went from slave to wealthy businessman. He also became a delegate to the Alabama Republican State Convention of 1867 and a member of the Selma City Council in 1868. In 1871, Turner was even elected to the U.S. Congress.

Rep. Robert DeLarge, R-SC (1842-1874): Although born a slave, DeLarge chaired the Republican Platform Committee in 1867 and served as delegate at the Constitutional Convention of 1868. From 1868 to 1870, he was also elected to the State House of Representatives and later Congress, serving from 1871 to 1873.


Rep. Josiah Walls, R-FL (1842-1905): Walls was a slave who was forced to fight for the Confederate Army until he was captured by Union troops. He promptly enlisted with the Union and eventually became an officer. In 1870, he was elected to the U.S. Senate. Unfortunately, harassing Democrats questioned his qualifications until he was officially expelled. Although he was re-elected after the first legal challenge, Democrats took control of Florida and Walls was prohibited from returning altogether.

Rep. Jefferson Long, R-GA (1836-1901): Long was also born into slavery, and he too became a successful business man. However, when Democrats boycotted his business he suffered substantial financial loses. But that didn’t stop Long, who in 1871 became the first black representative to deliver a congressional speech in the U.S. House.

Rep. Joseph Hayne Rainey, R-SC (1832-1887): Although born a slave, Rainey became the first black Speaker of the U.S. House for a brief period in 1870. In fact, he served in Congress longer than any other black America at that time.

Rep. Robert Brown Elliot, R-SC (1842-1884): Elliot helped to organize the Republican Party throughout rural South Carolina. He was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in 1870 and reelected in 1872. In 1874, he was elected to the State House of Representatives and eventually served as Speaker of the House in the State Legislature.

Thanks for being predictable, if anything.

what if the man that decided to save the bucks was a black democrat named darnell earley?

do a little more homework, clown. CNN wont give it to you straight.

Too funny

Meanwhile we now live in 2017 and Republicans are now the party of alt-whites & the KKK, the party that discriminates against whoever they hate at the moment.. Democrats are the party of all races. Perhaps you can advance your thinking a 100 years to "catch up" with reality.

It's downright comical that someone so filled with bitterness and hate, spends every waking moment accusing others of hating. Also funny it takes a Republican President to call out Chicago and the quasi-genocide that was happening in your messiahs home town, under Democratic rule, for which he did nothing about at all for 8 years. ;)

Yup...they call him a fascist for calling out all the low iq monkies shooting and killing each other

Meanwhile Chicago is still the same under trump as it was for Obama... Slightly worse tho.
