Harvey, the left and 'environmental racism'

As surely as the thunderclap follows a flash of lightning, it was inevitable that the inescapable human misery brought about by Hurricane Harvey would result in further baseless accusations of racism on the part of those on the left against President Donald Trump, as well as allegations of institutional racism as a pervasive influence in America. At present, it may be too early to tell how far this could go, but there’s every indication that the option of a full-blown defamation campaign is still on the table.

Why might one anticipate such an outcome? As I articulated last week, leftists have demonstrated that they are determined to associate alleged racism with just about anything they can, particularly if it will aid them in characterizing President Trump as a racist. On Aug. 25, the Daily Kos suggested that the hurricane itself might be racist, since it was “poised to disproportionately impact blacks in Texas,” and that the story was somehow being covered up. Apparently, President Trump’s failure to expeditiously fill leadership vacancies at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association (NOAA) and the Department of Homeland Security (which oversees FEMA and the Coast Guard) is also part of this conspiracy.

Another conspiracy: Citing the catch phrase “environmental racism” several times, the Huffington Post claimed Tuesday that flooding in Houston typically “hits poor, nonwhite neighborhoods hardest” because nonwhite residents have been deliberately crowded into neighborhoods that are most likely to flood. Who knew?

Makes perfect sense. White supremacist greed created AGW and when the horrible effects are finally felt, they are directed at women, children and minorities by a YUGE invisible blimp that controls said bad effects and protects all white privilege people. Whether they know they are privileged or not. It's automatic. And, you should feel guilty that you were born white. Or something.

Harvey is sort of a white man’s name now that I think about it.

Why would weather be racist, when that retarded magazine out of Paris said that the hurricane drowned a bunch of “Nazis”?

The Left cannot even keep their own BS straight!

There are people who’s job includes finding racism LITERALLY everywhere and in everything. They spend their day trying to find new ways/reasons for teens and weak adults to be triggered and upset.

They’ve been so successful that the words “racist” and “racism” have no meaning. The downsides are
* many teen and weak adults buy into it and live a life of unnecessary fear and triggerings
* we lost a word to describe some despicable acts.
* people who grew up with this don’t understand life in the 1950s/60s. Some have grandparents who can relay the truth but most are taught that “racism is worse now than then” more than they hear about actual history. (i.e. “confederate flags” and “banana peels” are worse than “lynchings” and “school segregation”).

“Meteorological Supremacy”, “Barometric Bias”, “Atmospheric Prejudice”, “Disproportionate Tropical Storm Force”, “The Soft-Bigotry of Applied Climate Science”...Where does it end?

Liberalism is a progressive degenerative disease of the brain, a pestilence.
What is needed is a web site similar to WebMD that would allow normal humans to check & see how badly the liberal in question is contaminated and especially if he/she/it is contagious to children.
