This Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, the NAACP wants man-made global warming to be seen as a civil rights issue, arguing King’s vision of a society free of racial injustice can’t be achieved without addressing warming.
“We see climate change as a civil rights issue,” Jacqueline Patterson, head of the NAACP’s environmental and climate justice program, said in an online radio spot for the Yale Center for Environmental Connection.
Environmental activists have been increasingly framing global warming as a matter of “environmental justice,” since “minority and low-income populations are disproportionately affected by global warming,” Patterson told Yale’s online radio Climate Connections.
Traditionally, such concerns focused on traditional pollutants from factories or vehicles, but the NAACP is expanding it to carbon dioxide, which scientists blame for warming the Earth in recent decades.
The environmental movement has fretted in recent years that it’s not diverse enough, and groups, like 350.org, have tried to draw parallels between global warming and alleged police brutality that sparked riots in Ferguson, Mo., in 2014.

NON print version:
Since when do they even care about MLK’s vision? It’s all about the color of one’s skin to them, not the content of their character.
Global warming causes high cholesterol.
“I have a dream of a NAACP environmental and climate justice program”.
Funny, I just don’t remember it like that.
Scammers supporting scammers. More living lies from the left parasites. The NAACP cannot exist without their created racism and hate.
So I see all the crooked organizations on the Left are coordinating their message.
Van Jones is back working for the Obama-Holder Crime Syndicate.
Tear down these historical monuments and street signs. MLK was a preacher and no religious monuments are allowed on public grounds. Tear them down now.
National Association for the Advancement of Contrived Poppycock.
“Tear down these historical monuments and street signs. MLK was a preacher and no religious monuments are allowed on public grounds. Tear them down now.”
Worth repeating!
You never know what that rascally CO2 is going to do. In the dead of night, it sneaks out of car exhaust pipes, home furnace exhausts, people’s mouths, power plants, refineries, cement plants, and factories to hold secret meetings. After some rousing “Sieg Heils,” those molecules then decide to invade minority neighborhoods and cause all sorts of problems with their inert ways. They conspire with their blood cousins, the O2 guys, to send the nice, fresh, clean oxygen over to the pleasant neighborhoods where all the white well-to-do people live, enriching their environment and lives, making the birds chirp happily and causing cloudless, deep azure skies.
This conspiracy has been little written about; in fact, there could be covert action by the FBI and CIA to cover this up. I hope Maxine Waters reads my post and gets right on this. Congressional hearings are long overdue.
the day that inner city residents don’t randomly and repeatedly litter their own neighborhoods, then I’ll take this seriously... (NOT)
NAACP: “We demand a color blind society! That’s why we listen to black news, lobby the black congressional caucus and voted en masse for a black President!”
SANE PERSON: “Um . . . that doesn’t seem very color blind to me . . .”
NAACP: “RACIST!”
But how will I know I’m in the wrong neighborhood?
Oh, yeah....the obama street signs....
It is time to reciprocate. Tear me down, now. Just keep repeating and spreading the word.
Still on the Dem plantation I see.
