At what point is it straight up incompetence that the local government (controlled by black democrats) ran the city services into the ground after decades of corruption and mismanagement? Blaming this on the state government makes no sense when it’s the city governments responsibility. They are the ones that fucked up, many many times. The residents of Jackson, MS vote for incompetent leaders and this is the result. Period.

As you can see you’re the only comment here who isn’t placing all the blame on the racist white republicans. It’s always weird when people totally ignore the locals running the cities that these things happen in. Republicans are trash but using them as scapegoats to excuse the incompetence and corruption and the root cause of a matter doesn’t help the local black community who are the victims of the corrupt scumbags making the decisions. See this happening over and over again. People seem not to know you can fight racism, support minorities, and hold leaders accountable even if they themselves are minorities. This ideology of treating each group identity as though they are homogenous is itself racist.
