Proving once again that American taxpayers have been way too generous for our own good, the National Academy of Sciences has discovered that the air is racist. If you think that’s too stupid to be true and you’re waiting for the punchline… there’s no punchline. They really mean it. Liberal scientists have determined that the air itself is racist.
According to USA Today and NPR – those two bastions of scientific innovation – the scientists practically stumbled on this new discovery by accident. Perhaps they were looking for those “racist dog whistles” that only liberals can hear and ended up finding a completely different invisible source of racism. A microaggression, if you will.
“Pollution is disproportionately caused by whites, but disproportionately inhaled by black and Hispanic minorities,” say the totally neutral scientists who don’t have a political ax to grind. Let’s see if we can unpack this hot new theory that has all the girls at CNN excited.
White people cause racist air by committing racist sins against the planet, mainly by doing racist things such as “creating electricity.” Then, according to Congresswoman Ilhan Omar (D-MN), the Jews cause the wind to blow all of the pollution from the racist power plants into black and Hispanic neighborhoods, where they are forced to breathe the racist air. Science!
Scientist Jason Hill adds, “What is especially surprising is just how large pollution inequity is and has been for well over a decade.”
So… it started right around when Obama came into office? Good to know.
“Pollution inequity” is a great new fake liberal science term that I’ll have to add to my lexicon. It comes after “Cisgender Heteronormative Fascism” and “Global Warming” alphabetically.
Using the same accounting tricks that brought us the Green New Deal, pollution inequity means that white people experience 17% less air pollution than they produce through electricity consumption. Stop laughing, this is science!
Meanwhile, black people experience 56% more air pollution than they produce. And the Jewish weather controllers that Ilhan Omar is worried about are really sticking it to Hispanics. They experience 63% more air pollution than they produce. As we see with all liberal policy “discoveries,” the study reveals more racist presuppositions among liberals than they were accusing conservatives of committing in the first place.
For example, the push for Voter ID has been declared racist. Asking for voters to show ID and prove that they haven’t already voted, and that they are who they say they are, disenfranchises black and Hispanic voters, right? The underlying presupposition is that blacks and Hispanics are too poor to afford a driver’s license or are too uneducated on how to get one. If you don’t believe me check out this eye opening video of how liberal college kids view black and brown people when it comes to voter ID laws.
The racist air study is very similar. Blacks and Hispanics breathe in a disproportionate amount of air pollution, because they use less electricity than white people. Why? Because they’re poor, according to liberals. The report suggests they can’t afford nice things like white people supposedly can (guessing they’ve never met a lower middle class or poor white person in their life) and therefore they use less electricity, because they don’t have to recharge their iPhones all the time. Duh!
And like all liberal policies, there’s only one way to solve the racist air pollution dilemma when you think about it. White people should have to pay more for their electricity, with the difference being paid to minorities because they have to breathe the brunt of our excessive iPhone charging. Rep-AIR-ations.
America used to have bad air pollution in large, congested liberal cities like Los Angeles. It’s where the term “smog” comes from. There’s no smog there any longer, because America fixed California’s smog problem. All of America has borne a great financial burden just to clean up California’s air. We have federal emissions standards on cars now and we pay a lot more money for cars today because of this. And we did that just so California, specifically, could have clean air once again.
You want to see bad air pollution? Go to China. You have to wear a P95 face mask just to walk across the street – and while you’re walking across the street, pray that a car doesn’t hit you because the drivers can’t see 20 feet in front of them. But I’m guessing liberal scientists don’t want you to know about that!
Solution, remove air in heavily populated black areas?
Seems to me this line of argument falls into the same effectiveness as placing a "No Peeing Zone" sign in a public swimming pool.
The madness is multiplying.
Black holes, self-driving cars and now air are all racist. What’s next? Black lung and red and white blood cells?

There has always been viscous anti-Semites among us. But now there is a difference, a big difference.
In the past the media, the political elite, and the universities would denounce such bigoted people. But no longer. Now they are silent, or worse.
We have seen such conditions before. And they always lead to something horrible.
Looks like the US is pretty good when it comes to particulate pollution:
Click-and-drag the globe and look at China. Perhaps the bitching should be directed there. (You can look at other options by clicking on the “earth” label in the lower-left.)
The air freely circulates worldwide. It’s absurd to associate pollution to a race, but if one insists on doing so, they should check data like this before mouthing off for too long.

Why do WHITE blood cells get to be the good guys and kill germs?
This needs to stop, because that’s racist.
Well maybe they’re right; it causes high crime areas in predominantly black neighborhoods so it’s all whiteys fault.
People who live in urban areas are going to be exposed to more pollution.
Reading the headline, I thought they wanted some free Air Jordans.
All this insanity will eventually drive thw Babylon Bee out of business.
“Pollution is disproportionately caused by whites...”
These anti-racist crusaders are so racist they don’t think non-whites can do things that create pollution.
And that Chinese are obviously white.
And Indians are white too.
These dipshits need to be put into a home for the perpetually perplexed.
the Brown Cloud in Denver comes to mind!;-)
Does that still happen in Denver? I remember seeing that back in the early 70s., haven't been there since.
Last time for me was in the 90s
If we are so racist, how is it there are still so many blacks around?
