I honestly didn’t have any idea of the demographics of Flint until you pointed it out. I did know the politics of Flint however. What I also know about Flint is that the government there has been historically inept and corrupt — a government elected by the people that live there. Of course my comment will naturally lead to an upholding of Internet Rule 815: find a way to blame Republicans and/or conservatives for the complete failures of governments that primarily represent people of color. Flint was run by Democrats and they decided to end their water deal with Detroit, Detroit, also run by Democrats, decided to cut off Flint. Michigan’s Department of environmental quality, also not populated by Republicans, suppressed findings about Flint’s water and the federal EPA, led by a Democrat appointed by a Democrat president, knew about Flint water dangers for months and did nothing. The city of Flint destroyed its finances through the mismanagement of the Democrat leadership. The emergency manager, a Democrat, was kept in place by the Republican governor in order to be “bipartisan” and to ensure the locals were more comfortable than they would have been had a potentially more qualified, not necessarily Democrat, emergency manager been appointed. So the failure of that emergency manager is attributable to Snyder — but the reason the situation ended up existing in the first place was because of complete incompetence from the government that was elected by the people in Flint and exacerbated by the people that elected the government of Detroit. Internet Rule 815: find a Republican or conservative anywhere near the scene of the crime and that Republican is the one deserving of all of the blame. This is closely related to Internet Rule 816, which is to immediately blame capitalism for the ineptitude of a government, especially one representing people of color.
