Water crisis in Flint, Michigan

[Mass]

First off, there's no proof that all citizens of Flint, MI are fans of Puffy Combs and have bought all his albums and attended all his concerts. They might listen to his music for free via radio. Or download pirated copies. Flint, MI is loaded with low-income people. Pirated money is actually stealing. So now, you want Puffy Combs to give free water to people who have pirated his music.

You can look at it that way and it's a decent stance to have (In terms of quality of argument and such)

Or just realize that as a black entertainer you have a higher obligation just off the strength. Black activis ts are black listed shut out and ostracized. If I, Reech, could get to puffies level just off the strength of being in the community then yea, he'd have no obligation because that's already covered by guys like me. But in the world today the only blacks with a voice that can reach multiple demographics, are entertainers.

I dont really care about entertainers helping people tho, even tho I believe they should. This Puffy narrative doesn't mean shyt to me.

Folks just need to keep the pressure on the infrastructure and get those people some help because dirty drinking/shytting/bathing/laundry/tea water is unacceptable.

nikkas roast Cali because of the drought but at least our water isnt contaminated

In all seriousness I hope everything works out for those folks.

Flint is near the largest source of fresh water in NOrth America. Its' no excuse. As ghetto rep as Detroit has, they have the best source of fresh water, most great lakes cities should.

thats an abysmal argument and makes a pathetic attempt to change the narrative
there is NOT a water problem in america
there is a WATER DISTRIBUTION problem in america, and this is the worst ever because its coupled with state level greed.

Actually, the drought conditions in different parts of the country are related to not improving the water distribution system. Las Vegas is going to be a deserted if they don't get a new water supply in 25 years. Or something.

Even if they didn't drink the water from the tap, what's to stop someone from cooking with it? There are plenty of ways for people to be exposed to lead.

How the hell something like this happen in 2016 the cost only to treat these poor childs and all other sided effects folks need to go to jail over this

This is how some Africans carry water from a well to their village. They don't have the infrastructure to supply water to villages so these women walk to the well and back and it is usually a hike. Can you imagine this happening in the US?

Yep I can. I mean we got most black folks living in 3rd world condtions out here so I wouldn't be impressed

I get angry every fukking time I read an apology from all those fukking cats. They were getting heads up months ago and now they got caught all of a sudden they feel bad.

I don't want them to die. I don't want anyone to shoot they ass. I want them to get a solid year drinking and bathing in the same fukking water they made those kids deal with.
