Major problems, from crime to infrastructure issues, have hit many large cities in the U.S. That has caused former Clinton-era Labor Secretary and current high-paid income inequality expert Robert Reich to take notice and at least partly assign blame:
Robert Reich (@RBReich) ~ 150,000 Jackson, MS residents are without access to clean water. The city is 82% Black.
West Baltimore is battling a simultaneous water crisis. Its residents are also predominantly Black.
This is the legacy of segregation and redlining: decades-on-decades of racism and neglect.
{Cont.} From Flint, Michigan to Jackson, Mississippi to West Baltimore, a combination of poor infrastructure, the climate crisis, and racism have contributed to a lack of clean drinking water in some of America’s most predominantly Black cities. This is by design.
Ah, OK then — here’s an assignment for Reich:
S Kutz (@sjkz) ~ {Replying to @RBReich} We should find which political party runs those cities.
Stephen L. Miller (@redsteeze) ~ {Replying to @RBReich} What do all those places have in common? I'll hold. It will come to you.
Think hard!
Hold on a minute, guys ... "Professor" Reich is a little indisposed at the moment ...
NJ_born_and_raised (@DaveARC_NJ) ~ And the mayors of those cities are from what party?
Ironically, Democrats’ suggested “solution” for horrible problems in cities that have been Dem-run for decades continues to be “vote for Democrats,” which brings to mind the definition of insanity.
Cranky "Tech Gossip Girl" Gordon (@StillCrankyAF) ~ "This is by design." Damn accursed Democrats.
HermitMama (@randommom88 ) ~ Why can't Democrats run their own cities?! Get out of blue areas. For real folks.
Bob Weave (@lowkeyrbe) ~ I wholeheartedly agree that Democrats are racists.
Democrats watching other Democrats turn cities into cesspools and then trying to blame Republicans continues to be incredibly shameless.
Democrats wanna have their cake and eat it, too. They want the freedom to be obliviously stupid and then have Republicans save them from themselves when the easily predicted consequences come home to roost.
