EPA will investigate allegations of racist spending in Mississippi

Having personally driven from the mostly Black Mississippi Delta into substantially whiter Hattiesburg, let me tell you: The inequality isOn that note, I'd argue Mississippi’s right-wing governor, Tate Reeves, made a federal investigation into his state a foregone conclusion by joking about his preference forover Jackson ... as Jackson residents were still in the midst of a serious water crisis.

Reeves was all smiles then, but he’s probably feeling a bit differently now that he knows his administration is about to be under federal scrutiny. He’s clearly no fan of people scrutinizing his work — or, in some cases, his failure to work. Here he is on Thursday, reacting to Jackson Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba's desire for the city of Jackson to pick its own contractor for the city's water system.

Reeves sounds like a southern segregationist governor from the Jim Crow era, angered over out-of-state “provocateurs” like the federal government getting involved in their oppressive affairs.

thereidout A Red State . no surprises here .

thereidout So Joy Reid thinks that everyone in charge of Jackson Municipalities are white? She really is a racists and a bigot!

thereidout MSM narrative

thereidout Blame the racist Dems who run that town.

thereidout Did OBOZO ever fix Flint Michigan WATER CRISIS? or was that just politics?

Let's talk about Racism, MSNBC is an extremely anti-white Racist news organization and should be BOYCOTTED until they take Diversity Training classes!

Racist spending.... hahaha.... errrrrrthing is racist. Like chicken little, but instead of the sky falling, racist just be raining down from the sky.

Was there ever a doubt? Come on people, it is Mississippi, every policy has an inclination of racism in it

Nothing will ever happen. No one politician who should be punished ever gets punished.

Blame the white guy for a city run by Black people.

And no whites were affected by this water crisis? How the dem left twist, distort and warp and look to sow division and discord,

Doing your usual typical nonstop false day and night race card playing, falsely accusing others of racism, harping on the past and complaining about the present when there are more rights, opportunities, equality than ever before today

I can easily blame Tate for many things because he has continued us down the path to ruin in the US but to try and blame him for the water problem in Jackson is stupid...it's the one and only area in the state with a problem...that's not the governor's issue...that's a city issue
