The agreement, reached under the Biden Administration, required the state’s Department of Public Health to improve sanitation efforts in Alabama’s Black Belt. It’s unclear what the termination will mean on the ground.
If it’s not already apparent that he uses “DEI” as a catchall for anything that helps non-white, non-male and you still don’t get it, you might be a white male, or a fucking moron if you’re not.
I’m a straight white man who can be kind of a dumbass: Nope, I still get it.
Seems pretty blatantly bigoted, even to me.
My bad, you’re not all bad!
It’s an understandable mistake under the circumstances.
Thanks, but I don’t blame you for assuming any one of us are, the majority of us have decided to put that troglodyte in power.
I’m a white guy and I apologize.
For the past, for the present, I hope someone else can take over for the future, because maybe my kind can be part of the future, but proven we cannot be trusted with it
We aren’t allowed to clean black people’s shit, because it would be environmentalist and DEI? This is a joke. Can it just get poured onto his golf course?
Edit: I thought,“maybe I’m wrong, maybe it was white people’s shit we were sending to black people and white people were shifting on them. I want to be accurate”. Read the article. It is their own shit they are forcing them to sit in. The way it is, is below human dignity. They aren’t providing any sewage system, and didn’t on purpose decades ago.
Septic systems can be VERY expensive for regulatory reasons. And I believe the article said part of the agreement suspends criminalizing failure to afford upgrades.
A few years ago, our septic system in Alabama began to display some issues. We were told that to repair it , we could not legally “just repair” the issue. Instead, to make the repairs, we would be required to fully upgrade the system to a new system to bring it into compliance with regulatory laws that had been put in place since the system was installed previously. The cost to do this was over 20% of our families total yearly income (before taxes), and about 10% of the full mortgage on the house. We were unable to afford this.
This meant that we had to either restrict access to regular hygiene in our home or risk sewage backup overflows into our home. Luckily, the engineer who surveyed for the repair also lived up the street and had a similar issue. He told us how he fixed it on his house without tripping the regulatory laws (basically bypassed some high output water sources, like laundry, from going into the septic system and taxing it). We never had to live with sewage, and this was not in a rural area.
And Trump supporters wonder why we think they’re human scum.
