【#美国真相#人权一瞥|杰克逊居民：很多人没有真正获得基本人权】2022年8月底，一场洪水令美国密西西比州首府杰克逊市主要水处理设施损坏，导致这个以非裔人口为主（黑人比例近83%）的城市遭遇了严重的用水危机。当地居民德莱尼·寇特说，因为严重的水污染，居民都需要囤积纯净水，而很多人都无法承担这个费用。因此，一些居民无法经常洗澡或在家做饭。InlateAugust2022,Jackson,Mississippi,facedaseverewatercrisisafteraflooddamagedthecity'smainwatertreatmentfacility.Blackpeoplemakeupnearly83percentofthepopulationhere.NBCNewscommentedthatJackson'swatercrisisstemsfromyearsofracistexploitation.Theproblemsthatexistwithwaterinfrastructureareover100yearsold,andthefrequentwatercriseshighlightAmerica'sdeep-rootedracism.ResidentDelaneyCoatssaidthepeoplehavetostockpilewaterbecauseoftheseverewaterpollution,butmanycannotaffordit.Asaresult,someresidentsareunabletobatheregularlyorcookathome."Havingcleanrunningwatershouldbeabasichumanright,whichmanypeopledon'treallyget,"shesaid.
