Flooding is the state’s most threatening natural disaster and touches every corner in Illinois, but communities of color and poorer areas often face the greatest risk. While a state task force has developed a long-range plan for flood mitigation across Illinois, Chicago has no equivalent roadmap.
We have to be careful though, perhaps Floods are simply acting out because of the negative connotation associated with the label “Flood” that has been placed on it, perhaps we should ask the Flood what it’s pronouns are and perhaps how it identifies…then we can develop a formal day to celebrate the Flood and perhaps even have flag. Then and only then can the Flood be Free.
Floods are indeed racist, along with most everything else. Just ask someone on the reparations committee.
