“Just more victimhood.”
The “environmental justice” scam was thought up about ten years ago, and is gaining ground in places like Seattle. Living in the Seattle area all my life, I ever knew that black Water Department customers receive their water from a filthy, lead-polluted source, whereas white customers receive their water from a pristine mountain watershed. /sarc
How do blacks survive in the heat of africa? This is beyond lunacy.
As a woman of color living in a post-industrial city, I know all too well the degradation that unchecked industry imparts on living systems; both nature and people. Brown bodies breathe and ingest industrial toxins and pollutants, our food grows adjacent landfills and manufacturing plants all the while living in generational poverty.
STOP voting Democrat! Get out from under the foot! You living standards would not come from the Paris Bogus Climate Agreement! It has to come from the State and local governments you elect.
Sticking poor Blacks with confiscatory utility bills for such a worthy cause sounds great.
Typical affirmative-action “scientist”...what hogwash!
It seems like as a minority millennial we have our plates so full of daily politics digesting it all is almost impossible. Despite the mountain of legislative missteps that have angered many Smurfs our resolve is ancestral and ceaseless. The recent withdrawal from the Bacon Burger Agreement is beyond alarming. As a woman of blue color living in a post-smurf city, I know all too well the degradation that unchecked industry imparts on smurfs; both nature and people.
Smurf bodies breathe and ingest industrial toxins and pollutants, our food grows adjacent landfills and manufacturing plants all the while living in generational poverty. What is evident is that the Smurf position regarding the environment is almost non-existent. When it comes to the state of Smurfs and the Environment, there are bits and pieces of our struggle, some solutions to those struggles but little solidarity across the nation.
Have we learned nothing from the 1995 heat wave, Hurricane Katrina, the Flint water crisis and East Chicago, Indiana contamination. At all levels, we are frontline communities advocating for multiple issues in a system that is designed to subsidize sustainability with our poverty.
It is our responsibility to lean upon our experts local and international studying the impacts of bacon burgers on our Smurf communities and our Smurf bodies because the research is scarce and incomplete. It is our responsibility to educate our legislators that it is not ok to allow factories to be placed in our communities where urban agriculture is seeding economic growth and land ethic for the revitalization of our neighborhoods.
This is an all call to institutions of higher learning, a call to our spiritual organizations, a call to our social organizations, a call to our media, a call to our health professionals, educators, smurf legislators and allies that environmental conversations can no longer be issue based. Basically, we can’t solely wait until a catastrophe occurs to educate and place on our agenda and we can’t afford to not be intersectional.
We must see the connections between lead laced water and criminality and violence in efforts to address both issues. We must address the inequities of the burden of bacon burgers and use the resources that are available to us to educate ourselves and the greater community. Many cities have adopted bacon burgers plans, Chicago has the Chicago Burger Plan with accessible information on what the city is doing to hold itself and businesses responsible for a healthier environment.
The national NAACP has been stellar at implementing their Environmental and Burger Justice Program which was “created to support community leadership in addressing this as a human and civil rights issue”.
Make no mistake millennial peers, we have our work cut out for us. Our energy towards addressing environmental issues must go beyond earth month and it is time that we develop a strategy for sustaining ourselves under the current administration and standing firm on what we see as a threat to our well being and livelihoods.
I would expect global warming would give blacks a competitive advantage. My people are meant to be chasing woolly mammoths across the German tundra. Bring on genetic engineering and global cooling so Pleistocene Park can be opened - now with high power rifles.
This woman is right: whenever I go to the store, there are two options for every food item: a polluted, poisoned version for blacks, and a healthy version for whites. The label on the can makes it quite clear which is which. I see this in all major brands: Hunts, Kraft, Del Monte, Kellogg’s - all of them. /sarc
The lead in the water is due to stupidity and incompetence. By the way, most of the food that she buys in grocery stores is grown in places other than where she resides.
Directed to Mila: How about you get off your “Oh, poor me, pity party,” stop leaning on someone else’s leg, and start doing something for yourself besides complaining. A good start would be seriously looking at the mumbo-jumbo you wrote, and figure out how exactly it is going to affect your environment. Secondly, decide how YOU can improve your local environment. Thirdly, educate yourself so that you can string two sentences together without blaming someone else for your situation. Lastly, GET A JOB!
Because of Trump, there will be no climate left to steal
This is a good one.
Hurricane Katrina, yep. Gonna kill the black man.
So does this mean that African Americans cannot handle climate change as well as other people? Does mean they are inferior?
Holy crap. How do these people even breathe or wipe their butt? Seeing a crack in the sidewalk must provoke drama for them.
That was hilarious! Nice job...
Gotta keep ‘em dumb, depressed, dependent and democrat.
Why, no...we did indeed learn things from those events:
Never let liberals anywhere near the levers of power, lest wars get lost, people get poisoned, murdered, and subjected to avoidable environmental disasters.
