Political correctness is alive and well at the state newspaper. The Clarion – Ledger published a decent story on the history of the Jackson water system's problems. However, there is one particular sentence that was just downright funny as the reporters tried to follow their social justice code:
The coming neglect of the system and the eventual exodus of Jackson's white and middle-class residents couldn't have been on their minds.
Come on Marlon, you can do it. It is okay to say "black flight." There is even data to back it up.
There is also another paragraph that was unintentionally funny. See if you can spot the humor:
Former Jackson Mayor Harvey Johnson, who served two nonconsecutive terms, said the problems seemed daunting during his tenure. The 1997 master plan commissioned during his first administration was aimed at addressing the problems slowly, but methodically.

Pot calling the kettle black, Kingfish.
You censor comments that speak the truth unless we mince words to the point that “truth” is “wink, wink, say no more” simply because you are just as afraid of losing precious advertising revenue as C-L
11:35 AM, so the published story referenced is actually a collection of anonymous unfiltered blog comments collected by Rowe and Sanderlin?
KF why didn't you tell us that?
It's hard to imagine water problems being addressed more slowly than they already have. The city had to have a plan to do little or nothing?
Kingfish - You're twisting in a whirlwind. Nobody is interested, any more, about fucking jackson water issues or potholes or inner-city crime or which drive-thru has the most gunfire. Get off that shit and do some real reporting. Enough is enough. For God's sakes, fifty threads a week about fucking water issues is insane.
If you want to lose your audience,keep that shit up. Now I'll step back and wait for the goobers who tell me to either start my own blog or remind me of the supreme importance of water meters and flush toilets. GO!
Thanks, KF @ 12:44. You were right on top of that comment nine minutes earlier. And you claim you don't do this shit. Ahem..You're not the only one who can detect computer ID and location.
4:19, don't go away mad. Just go away.
