Good story. Thanks for exposing this stain on Dallas lawmakers. What did the Dallas city council say about this ?

I bet if you looked closely, you will find developers lined up to snatch the whole town up as soon as they mange to push out the last black family. Also, lol at you refusing to taste the water, when you been to or are from Africa. You know our water in Africa, be ten times more contaminated but we use it anyway.... lol.

Terrell x3 Anderson County, Texas just experienced the worst freeze in my lifetime. Power grids failed due to The Big Brown plant that the government closed down in 2018 (they have a plan). That plant is directly across the river in Freestone County from my family property in Anderson County. My mother use to cross the river on a foot bridge. There was a black town there just like Sandbranch. The plant took over. Now the plant is closed and the government has slowly taken most of the land on both sides of the river. My family is one of the few original owners left.

You are so right about that, that's why we must stand our ground and Pray and ask God what to do and how to handle things instead of leaning on our own understanding let's do what Proverbs 3 tells us and that God will show us what is going on behind there being no water by PRAYING Luke 8:17. If we you are called by God's name would do what 2 Chronicles 7:14 says, a lot of things would go better for us. Just try it. God doesn't fail and he doesn't disappoint. Shalom!!!
