There are plenty of majority-black cities in the country which run effective municipal services, and it's kinda racist that you believe otherwise.

- lotsofpulp 5y agoI did not imply that all majority-black cities run ineffective municipal services. I did imply that it might be reasonable to expect a community of people that are tired from working all day and may not have grown up with the best education and influence to have given them the necessary experiences to be able to evaluate a city’s financial situation and vote accordingly. They probably are not spending the couple hours of free time checking government budgets and reading minutes from city council meetings, much less attending them in pre internet days. I even keep up with many of the local political happenings, but quite frankly, I rely on the good will and good luck of the decision makers in my community doing the right thing.
