You should never have to relocate from your home because of environmental injustice. I’m standing with the Shiloh Community in prayer and physically when needed.

7:09 notice the house has no gutters and the ground is low against the house. So when it rains the water comes off the roof right onto the low spots next to the house and collects. This is why gutters and drains and French drains exist. I have noticed no gutters is common in the south.

That water is coming from the road genius.

Aotearoa, New Zealand and Aotearoa New Zealand are all official names for my country. Kia Ora (Be well) is our official greeting. Our anthem is sung in Māori and English. South Africa, once apartheid, has been ruled by dark brown for 39 years. Why is racist America asleep when the rest of the world 'woke' up decades ago?

4:18 the road is raised that high for a reason, it’s in a flood plain 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂.

[@Sndyj457]

[@CullmanBassSlayer]

Nope they are trying to push them out and probably develop it for subdivisions

[@Islandlady83]

Greed and hate will never go away.

[@justlookingaround]

It’s racism 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@daviddoyle3246]

I think alot of the issues are the size of the town,I do not believe it has anything to do with race or the color of the residents skin. In alabama it happens all over
