Steve Harvey Under Fire for Flint Water Jokes


For the past three years residents of Flint, Michigan have been dealing with lead contamination in the city water supply leading to high instances of lead poisoning and crisis level health problems. 

Yesterday radio host Steve Harvey told a Flint listener to 'go drink a brown glass of water...'

The on-air skirmish started because the listener was a Golden State Warriors fan who said LeBron James didn't deserve to win the NBA Finals.

That's when Steve told the Warriors fan,
“You from Flint? That’s why yall ain’t even got clean water. When the last time you touched water and it didn’t have lead in it?”
Later telling the fan to, 'Go have a brown glass of water.'
