Small black city is "taken over" as soon as they get a large lucrative corporate investment..

[OsO]

This is infuriating on many, many levels.

Racist white people are literally the devil and the bane of all human existence since the beginning of time

 

[Wild self]

This is what structural racism looks like.

“I’m not sure there’s a full understanding of operating a town,” Mumpower said.

Where was this criticism when white people were robbing the town blind?

Maybe the DOJ can step in.

Too much victim blaming and not enough on the white supremacists running the local government,

 

[Waldo Geraldo Faldo]

Yeah this needs national attention asap

I gave them a call and asked what a person that lives outside of the community could do to help and they basically just said keep them in "prayer" but it has to be something we can do



She did say the mayor and Vice Mayor were working on it but didn't give me too many details.

Prayer?!?!!? what thee fukk??? How about donations for a lawsuit!! Prayers aint gonna cut it anymore

 

[stellarstella]

What you saying is true but you are pretending that structural barriers aren't against black folks and ADOS in particular. You are right we do need to find ways to overcome it but don't pretend that black people don't have a harder time getting loans and we do it them it's at higher interest rates.

And if we DO own property, it’s undervalued. SMH

 

[Chip Skylark]

Honestly, things like this isn’t talked about enough.

Every prominent black city or neighborhood has been destroyed by racists.

Anytime a prominent black figure does anything strictly for the black community as witch hunt happens

 

[cornercommission2k12]

Will you admit that voting helps to prevent this? Not totally, but it slows it down, and in some cases, reverses it?

Yes voting is apart of what combats this biased system.

But just voting just to vote seriously doesn't. Has to be an organized effort that is backed by economics and agendas.

She did say the Mayor and Vice Mayor were working on it so maybe they are getting legal counsel.


I only spoke to the lady answering the phone at city hall.


She sounded like an older black woman so I will give her grace.


Hopefully the leadership as a strategy in place.

I hope so too

This is Jason Mumpower

He currently serves as the Tennessee's 35th Comptroller of the Treasury. He’s a REPUBLICAN. This is why you don’t vote for conservatives or the gop as black people

Tariq says don’t vote and idiots in here are saying there’s no difference between the parties

Sooo you’re just going to ignore Tariq’s the one who help shed light on this bullshyt? Either you’re being dishonest or just obtuse because no one was saying don’t vote locally. And it’s not don’t vote, it’s don’t vote against your interest.

 

[Wargames]

This is what modern white supremacy looks like



v

This is why the south is so big on state governments. Nobody can tell them shyt

 

[Kiyoshi-Dono]

Time to strap up and fight
Prayer and the church ain’t going to help

Are you being serious or trolling bruh

Tariq actively tells black people not to vote, write in votes or vote for 3rd party,things solely meant to destroy our voting power and empower republicans

This is just throwing a bone to his followers so they can say, he’s calling out white Supremacy

He’s already help the GOP get power, calling them out means nothing

 

[CreepyMcCreeperson]

Is this something that can be stopped with money?
