Beyond Parody: Movement for Black Lives, Greenpeace Team Up on ‘Fossil Fuel Racism’
NewsBusters ^ | 4/19/2021 | Joseph Vazquez

A new wacky report by Greenpeace underscored the Marxist left’s obsession with connecting the completely unrelated issues of eco-fanaticism and racism.

The April 13 report was published with a blaring headline, “Fossil Fuel Racism.” The executive summary was just as absurd as the headline: “Fossil fuels — coal, oil, and gas — lie at the heart of the crises we face, including public health, racial injustice, and climate change.” The report preached that President Joe Biden and Congress have “a historic opportunity to improve public health, tackle the climate crisis, and confront systemic racism at the same time by phasing out fossil fuel production and use.” The leftist Movement for Black Lives (MBL) co-authored the extremist report. MBL “serves as a unifying umbrella organization to coordinate [Black Lives Matter] activism and move towards concrete policy goals." [Emphasis added.]

“improve public health”

Such colossal BS.

White men and some women in Europe and The USA created and invented metallurgy, calculus, differential equations, thermodynamics and other sciences to master heat engines raising standards of living, public health, and life expectancies for all people worldwide beyond what even kings had two hundred years ago. Fossil fuels were the key to everything good mankind has accomplished.

They are asking for a world population of 500 million, destruction of all Western Civilization, and living standards typical in sub-Saharan Africa.

These communist activists never created a single thing in their lives. They wouldn’t know which end of a hammer to pick up. We are to trust them?

OK, but apart from metallurgy, calculus, differential equations, thermodynamics and other sciences to master heat engines raising standards of living, public health, and life expectancies for all people worldwide beyond what even kings had two hundred years ago, what have white people EVER done for us?

Sometimes reality out parodies the Babylon Bee. ( And yes, the first think I looked for was if this was a Bee article)
