In his 2014 re-election bid, Gov. Snyder won 70 out of 83 Michigan counties. He was only blown out in a few of the remaining 13 — with Genesee County, home of Flint, being one of them. Not only that, but African-Americans voted for his opponent en masse. Consequently, when he started his second term, it's not a leap to say that Gov. Snyder didn't feel like he owed Flint or black voters much of anything. That would sound like an awful generalization if the reality of the water crisis in Flint didn't actually prove it.
