The situation concerning the contaminated water in Flint, Michigan is a tragedy and a wake up call that
we as black people in the U.S. need to unify and start taking our lives more seriously. Unfortunately, a lot of
African Americans still probably does not know that the travesty in Flint, Michigan and the
continued discrimination of the black farmers not getting there money due them; because were saturated with
the T.V. show, “Empire”, “Scandal” and toxic Hip Hop. White folks are killing us softly with toxic entertainment
while, and systematic genocide by water and chemical air pollution. When are we going to wake up and realize their is more to life be sides entertainment and paying $600. 00 dollars for Uncle Tom; Michael Jordan’s sneakers?
