Don't Drink the Water

As a former Michigander, it saddens me to hear about the water crisis in Flint. The whole situation is sad and terrible and it never would have happened to an affluent (i.e. white) community. But since Flint is largely black and poor, no one cares about the city's residents. The powers that be in the state probably figured it was no big deal to let Flint residents drink and use tainted water. What a shame. Environmental racism is, sadly, alive and well in Flint. Heads need to roll over this whole debacle and people need to be held accountable. The citizens of Flint should file a class-action lawsuit against the state for trying to poison them.
