- Eric Mays, the most outspoken member of the Flint City Council, appears on "Sunday Nation with Bankole Thompson," which airs every Sunday from 1pm-2pm on MyTV38 WADL-Detroit. Mays appeared on October 30, 2022 to discuss the water settlement in the lead water crisis in Flint as well as his discontent with Democratic Governor Gretchen Whitmer. The Sunday public affairs program is hosted by Bankole Thompson, the distinguished and nationally renowned Black journalist, author and cultural critic, whose work is known for probing uncomfortable issues of race, freedom and justice. He is the executive dean and editor-in-chief of The PuLSE Institute, a prestigious national anti-poverty think tank, headquartered in Detroit, the nation’s largest African American city.
Considered Detroit’s columnist of conscience, Thompson, is an opinion columnist at The Detroit News, where he writes a twice-a-week column on presidential politics, culture, diversity, leadership, equity and socioeconomic issues. His column appears on Mondays and Thursdays in the newspaper. He is Michigan’s leading Black opinion columnist, whose work pricks the conscience of the powerful. He is the host of REDLINE with Bankole Thompson, a daily two-hour radio program on 910AM Super Station-Detroit, which is broadcast 11am-1pm weekdays, and is the most influential and only daily Black talk radio in the state with a focus on the issues affecting Black Michigan
This is Eric Mays. Yeah it’s funny when he yells but he is a pioneer and he is a very smart man.
Smart and stupid at the same time.
Not too smart if he votes or like other clown leadership in the black community pushing democrat plantation mess.
I agree 1000%
Facts ✊🏽
This man was a genius. He was a person for the ppl . Bcuz of these interviews and council meetings im more interested in how the town/city is represented. Rest in peace mr
Mays ❤🎉
Side note: that man should sing bass in a quartet, with that voice, even in his spare time 😂
"if they ain't studdin me, I ain't studdin them!" 😂
Gil Scott Heron vibes.. this elder is the last of a dying breed... to real..
Eric Mays is for the people. Thank you sir.
Wish interviewer didnt cut him off so often when he was speaking
Only the Flint counsel members do that stupid stuff.
Spanky Thompson is still butt-hurt over Whitmer not creating a cabinet-level “Poverty Czar” and nominating Spanky to oversee the position. Spanky is a light-weight, race-hustling, poverty-pimping carpetbagger. Eric Mays is just as trifling.
Point of order!
Mr.Mays Keep Up Being The Best Councilman There Is!!!
Bankole Thompson let the person you’re interviewing FINISH THEIR POINT!
I’m from Louisiana and I wish he run for governor if I could I’ll vote for this Gentleman
*Mr. Mays* 💪🏿💯💯 Please stick around to keep pressure on them for us!!!!!!!
Imagine if you weren’t around 🤦🏾♂️ THEY WOULD BE RUNNING RAMPANT AND WE’D HAVE NO HELP!
I’m not even from flint but I understand that your contribution is actually beneficial to us ALL ✊🏿
Thank You for your service- it means more than you know! *WE APPRECIATE YOU* 💪🏿🖤

He is a trooper. The people vote for him for this reason
LMAO. What reason was that? To cry and complain like a weak, obedient field hand???

The Democrats would have a heart attack if he made it too the national level.. They lucky he's in a small market..
Allow the man to answer, we aint here to hear you bro, stop cutting him off.
Lets get him on a different platform where he is not getting interrupted by the interviewer so much we want to hear HIM..... 🥴
Mr Mays 4 Life 🙏🏾
Please allow him to speak. If you have limited time, then have him on again. We want to hear his answers, completely of course, you must ask the questions. Thank you.
I love this brother..I wish he was on a national level..
Eric Mays is the G.O.A.T.!!!
Nobody should ever ignore Eric Mays or the pleas of any member of the proletariat
You are a great Politican .
That’s True Honesty Character MattersKudos for Mr Eric Mays
REAL MAN.😂
Eric Mays is the new Joe Clark lol
The interviewer for Eric Mayas is causing a lot of disturbance. Kindly let the guest speak, respond to your questions, and engage in a coherent conversation without any disruptions. All that is being demonstrated is your insistence on being correct, and it was frustrating observing the situation.
The Governor did what the Democrats do. Get the black vote off of the monolithic black vote. Same old same old thing.
Eric's style is too brash for some to the point it brings discomfort, but he's an effective and for the ppl kind of politician...me personally, I like honorable fighters for the ppl type politicians, and he fits that bill 100%!!! Don't mess w/ the flat top!!!
Eric Mays for governor of Michigan 👏👏
❤me to Eric Mays 💯 JWC BURNS and Mr P❤

Brother I'm here to tell you that you speak like a very strong conservative not a Democrat. Welcome to the club. You conservative and Don't even know it
Mays ain’t studdin goofy rules. He’s unprofessional and doesn’t work with fellow council members. So sad.
@@one007guy Point of ORDER!
@@darwingraves372 denied. You ain’t got da flo!
@@one007guy It's so sad to see a grown black man embarrassed our people and don't care.
Ain’t no big shot . All you are is a big problem at city council smacking them gums claiming everyone racist there. Can’t get nothing done at council because you smack them gums so much. All these poi n poo things you do all about trying too control something and trying too waste time so nothing gets done. Ya mislead people to fill out forms for some money and now ya deny it. You a politician wanna be, you got one thing in common though, you a liar just like them.
Sir if you want to go far in this journalistic career path, please learn not to talk over and almost yell while the person that you’re interviewing is speaking. I’m sure you watched this interview back and can recognize how bad it makes you look. I’m almost sure it wasn’t intentional, but keep that in the back of your mind. It’s just very unprofessional.
Wow they interfere with this video
Talk too much ..let the man talk damn.
Pop
can dude let eric finish what hes saying and not interject?
Boss man jack
In that order ✔️ mfs so nasty
Con man.
These TilTok fanatics/Trump/Mays supporters are a bit much. I ain` studdin bout none of em!!
Council man Tupac.
Still a Democrat?
Lol…, of course. You know they are monolithic.
This is why they are trying to destroy Eric Mays....he is direct, doesn't bite it's tongue, doesn't go along to get along....long live Mr. Mays!!! Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. 🦸🌹🌹🌹
Mays is like Vera Rison she was honest and cared about the people in Flint he learned from mis Rison Eric is for us inn Flint
