[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe "black people" and the state of Alabama should get together and determine a permanent fix instead of relying on the federal tax payer for DECADES.

Time to fix sheet, instead of nursing it along like a third world country.[/quote]

Alabama IS a third world country. The local or state government obviously doesn't have the will to fix the problem, which has persisted for generations, and is occurring in a largely Black and poor community. The federal government felt it had to intervene and I think that's an appropriate role for the federal government. I bet you're okay with the feds trying to expand internet service in isolated, largely White rural areas but this is a bridge too far for you?[/quote]

There have been many Democratic administrations that could have addressed the problems of the largely Black and poor communities. Why didn't FDR, JFK, LBJ, Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, or Joe Biden do anything about  it? They have  pandered to those communities  for votes and you would think the least they could do is throw some sanitation their way.[/quote]

Actually in places like Jackson, MS, the federal government did have to step in b/c the Republican legislature literally refused to fix the water situation in the majority black city. The state would not even allow the city to float bonds to pay for it themselves.[/quote]
