Funny, no mention of Van Jones or Mr. Obama.

"A Black American Earth Day should be a day set aside for grassroots organizations and community leaders to mobilize....."

With Zer0's price of gas these days, it's tougher to mobilize than it used to be a couple of years ago.

>Did you know that many of the growing lists of so-called “learning disabilities” that affect too many of the children in the Black American community maybe environmentally related to exposures from lead poisoning and other toxic substances laced in many of our neighborhoods? <

Huh? I thought it was simply whitey’s fault.

Yup, there's far too much lead poisoning going on in the black community.

I guess this means that if you are a denier and fail to dump your money into Algore’s “global warming” hoax, you are a “racist”. Nice. Wake up America!

I celebrate Earth Day. I start out with a tire and Styrofoam bon-fire, and Hump Back Whale BBQ, with a clubbed baby seal white sauce and Spotted Owl soufflé.

Don’t forget the deep-fried bald eagle. Ummm, good!

I wonder if this race-baiter has ever looked at a map of superfund sites?

I’d bet not because most of them are in areas where white folks predominate.

” ... For Black Americans and millions of people of color, Earth Day 2011 should be both a day of celebration and rededication to the struggle to free our communities from the devastating toxicity of environmental injustice ...”

Pure 100% Commie class warfare BS.

Know that the Commies have landed, and are occupying very high ground. You will have to sacrifice and struggle to retain your current level of freedom over the next few years.
If you are unwilling to do so, you will lose them for certain!
I might add that RINOs are the enablers, and the CommieCrate are the “agents of change”

Change the words Black Americans to White Americans and the author from Dr. Benjamin F. Chavis Jr. to Pat Buchanan.
The outrage would be deafening. The selective outrage over racism is growing old. Today we laugh at it. But tomorrow, the laughter will turn to anger and that ain't gonna be pretty.

going green....our farmers are now growing corn for the nearest ethanol plant.....the government made it very lucrative.

Of course I don't buy beef anymore because it's too expensive....

Economic stupidity!!

We lived in the same type of houses 60 years ago...lead water pipes, lead paint, asbestos wrapped heating pipes. Mom lived to 90, dad 78. I'm 67.

I only lived in that house for 20 years...but mom lived there for 65 years. I don't remember a young death in the neighborhood.

This article shows how black leaders of the civil rights era (Dr. Chavis) have been totally bought off by the Progressives. I now wonder if they EVER gave about our people, or was it all a scam from the very beginning.
