Based on Kara’s articles, one would just assume the only thing people of color is white people. That's good science.

Situationally much better. You don’t get lead poisoning unless you drink it a lot and consistently. I’d rather sail in lead rich water than hepatitis rich water.

You did it again you magnificent bastard. My sides hurt from laughing.

That's good Kinja.

Studio doesn't want to spend money making a black actor look white (as Jackson did at that time).

I’d imagine there won't be a bail option in this case given his propensity of running.

I think the purpose of this is to use modified bullshit.

Yeah, what with all the swift action against fracking, we know poor whites would never be subjected to poor water quality. /sarcasm

Flint demographics reports disagree with your 99%.

Yeah in cities this holds true. When this happens in WV, TN, and KY, usually due to resource extraction, the same levels of incompetence and inaction have happened.

Yes, but had it been a wealthy black area of CA or ATL, it also wouldn't happen. Wealthy communities have money for testing and money to influence politics. This makes it a poverty issue, not a race issue. It has happened in predominately white poor communities many of time.

Yes on the shit record keeping, but HG tv purposely has oh no moments so the show is more interesting. They know which walls are load bearing.

That’s not correct math either. Or they wouldn’t need federal AID. $400,ooo,000/100,ooo residents = $4,000 per resident.

Flint is like 55% black and 43% white. There aren't nice white areas of Flint. They are all in the same boat.

I understand demographics and poverty. I also understand that, although it may feel like it, not everything that happens to a black person/community is a function of racism.

That's not how taxes work. Donations are tax deductions. Credits are the government directly giving you cash (if you've already paid your taxes) or reduction your tax payment dollar to dollar vs pennies on the dollar for deductions.

Donations aren’t tax credits. They are write offs or deductions. Basically, you can lower your taxable income by deduction the value of your donation. That would save them around $0.40 cents per dollar spent. Credits are the government giving you money. It has no effect on your taxable income.

Are you unable to read? He / she specifically discussed long term solutions after saying bottles can help in the near term.

Having worked in government offices before, water bottles usually have nothing to do with water quality vis a vis safety. It’s water taste. I done some environmental safety/ life safety with various government properties and 99% of water quality complaints at the office are a function of taste. Granted, we actually do…

Yes, but this happens in low income cities in the Appalachians on the regular (usually as a result of industrial activity). That isn't about race either. It's about governments being unwilling to invest in infrastructure in places with no tax base.
