Marianne made another critical point. Dear Sharra, I'm here at the debates and Marianne made this profound statement about Flint water crisis: My response on the Flint water crisis is that Flint is just the tip of the iceberg. I was recently in Denmark, South Carolina where there's a lot of talk about it being the next Flint. We have an administration that has gutted the Clean Water Act. We have communities, particularly communities of color and disadvantaged communities, all over this country who are suffering from environmental injustice. I assure you, I lived in Grosse Pointe. What happened in Flint would not would not have happened in Grosse Pointe. This is part of the dark underbelly of American society. The racism, the bigotry and the entire conversation that we're having here tonight. If you think this wonkiness is going to deal with this dark psychic force of the collectivised hatred that this President is bringing up in this country than I'm afraid that the Democrats are going to see some very dark days. We need to say it like it is. It's bigger than Flint. It's all over this country, it's particularly people of color, it's particularly people who do not have the money to fight back. And if the Democrats don't start saying it, then why would those people feel that they're there for us? And if those people don't feel it, they won't vote for us and Donald Trump will win. Being an American means standing up to injustice, and then taking bold, courageous steps to remedy it. Grateful that you are here with us, Patricia Ewing
