His voice only carries weight with you empty headed black people
No one of importance paid him any attention
Real civil rights leaders fought real shit
Mays started the shit he claimed he had to fight

👄 Don't cry because he's gone Celebrate 🎉him because he existed R.I.P 🙏🏽Mr May's gone but not forgotten 😞💔
I know that to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. It's okay to cry because it's a process of healing. Jesus allows us to cry, because He did. Don't get me wrong, I realize that we must celebrate when someone passes away, but we first cry and get our emotions out.
Yes indeed ❤
Loved the respect you gave Councilman Mr Eric Mays in your news story. Love that you interviewed people that spoke truths about his character and were close to him. Condolences to all that loved this Flint GIANT! 🙏
So true
I wish we had him in Blackstone VA, we have a council of good old boys ....if you old enough to understand what that means

I learned so much from Eric Mays, I live in the city of Bay City, and I realized he is the man I need, to learn and to understand the way city politics worked, and what he taught me is human beings are very complex and we should move accordingly and always know the motives behind the cause. Now let's see how we do in Bay City. PRAYERS TO HIS FAMILY AND FRIENDS, AND THE PEOPLE OF FLINT.
“Human beings are very complex and we should move accordingly” 💯💯💯
I don’t care 🤷🏽♀️ what or how anyone feels about this brother. If you are in the Industry of POLIETRICKS you have to be unorthodox, quote on quote CRAZY”, no nonsense, create a path, and take up space I felt a connection to this man it’s spiritual and although personally I never knew him or even went to Flint Michigan I understood his assignment Rest In Peace Councilman Eric Mays All Praises To The Most High for your service work and dedication for the people and community you were and are a part of sending love and deep condolences from Oakland California #DaBay
Totally agree 💯😊!! Anyone against him & what he stood for is, a racist, bigot and plain ignorant! I'm in Portland Oregon & he was funny, but serious & took, NO bullshyt, that's why they were mad & hater's! He touched millions around this kkkountry & made an impact with his Power, called out the corruption & that was very brave! So many beyond Flint loved & supported him. Rest in Peace Mr. Mays 🕊️🕊️🥹🥹.**
I Loved his delivery!!!!😅

@@kmoore4896your comment reeks of ignorance
Sending prayers to the family. Deepest sympathy!!!
He was suing and going against the city.. I feel they took him out and we would never know the truth
Yeah. I just read somewhere that he was planning a federal lawsuit against the city of Flint. I can only imagine what would have been revealed in that lawsuit.
@lovematters77
I concur that foul play, may have been his cause of passing.
However, GOD sits High & looks Low from His Throne!🕊
This evil/ corrupt world is HIS Footstool & what's done in the dark, He brings to light... Vengeance, He shall repay.
May Mr. Mays rest in GOD'S Peace & Love.🪽✨️
My sincere condolences to his Family🥀, Genuine Friends & Citizens of Flint that loved him.🙏✝️💞

Good man Gone😥. Sadly, we don't have many stand up men in our communities like Mr. Mays. Now days people either don't care or won't make time to put effort into their communities. Our youth seriously need our guidance as they are the future. Rest up Mr. Mays! Prayers to his family and community.
