"Turning this into" a race issue? It is a race issue.
You're simply making things up about Jackson's leaders and hoping they will stick. Well, they don't stick. Jackson has repeatedly appealed for funding to address this issue and they have been repeatedly denied that funding by the state's Republican leaders.
Maybe you should ask yourself why you're so lazy that you're unwilling to research the issue, and also so willing to post a knee-jerk reaction in public about how this can't possibly be about race.
- systemvoltage 4y agoDo we have a concrete proof besides suspecting malicious motives and quickly jumping to conclusions about racial discrimination? I am seeing a lot of knee-jerk reaction from our media. Everything is about race. All the fricking time. It is a "systemic" problem that gets blamed at some ulterior level that cannot be proven or challenged. And btw, if you question it, you're a bigot. This is a great way to make zero progress because we've given up the cause to a nation wide racial discrimination problem and therefore, we must not look at incompetency in local government for instance in this case. I guess my problem is how do we know if it is a race problem or not? Surely not every conflict between two races is from racism. US has been a melting pot for many decades and lot of people coexist fine from various cultures.
