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:
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.

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:
We should find which political party runs those cities.

What do all those places have in common? I'll hold. It will come to you. https://t.co/jN3HjmSVuT

Think hard!

And the mayors of those cities are from what party? https://t.co/nkPMKpDq3I

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.
"This is by design."
Damn accursed Democrats.

Why can't democrats run their own cities?!
Get out of blue areas. For real folks. https://t.co/0pk6evGfDA— HermitMama🌷🧘🏻♀️ (@randommom88) September 9, 2022
I wholeheartedly agree that Democrats are racists. https://t.co/m2qE5Fjc47

Democrats watching other Democrats turn cities into cesspools and then trying to blame Republicans continues to be incredibly shameless.
