An official with a publicly funded land bank in Flint, Michigan, blamed the citys water crisis on f*cking n*****s who fail to pay their bills.
Audio recordings made by an environmental activist appear to show Phil Stair, sales manager for the Genesee County Land Bank, using racial slurs and blaming poor residents for rising water costs, reported Truth Against The Machine.
Flint has the same problems as Detroit f*cking n*****s dont pay their bills, Stair says on the recording, which was made May 26 during a conversation with environmental activist and independent journalist Chelsea Lyons.
Stair was driving to a restaurant with Lyons and another person when the recordings were made, according to the blog.
I dont want to call them n*****s, sh*t I just went to Myrtle Beach (with) 24 guys, and I was the only white guy, Stair said. I got friends I mean, theres trash and theres people that do this sh*t. They just dont pay their bills. Well, Detroit, didnt collect on their bills, so they charged everybody else, but Flint, Flint had to pay their bill to Detroit.
