Comments Thread For: Andre Dirrell Takes a Stand Against Poisoned Water in Flint

Politics let Flint rust away as no one cares about Flint

The make up of Flint and Politics let Flint rust away as the water turned brown and rusty and bad but all the people taht mattered moved away years ago. what was left in Flint got abandoned by Politics and big money and Flint got ignored as Flint isn't worth anything now. sad in a way but that is life. Look at Detroit which is more of an abandoned city run down to a slum with 100,000 empty houses. Flint is a wasteland much like detroit. who cares?

It's hard to believe this is happening in an American city. You would expect something like this in a poor, Third World country maybe but not in the most powerful nation on Earth.

It's very sad.

I hope Dirrell's campaign raises a lot of money. He should get out there and fight more often to bring more attention to the cause.
