Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) on Wednesday unveiled her plan to address “environmental injustice” and “environmental racism,” which includes a $1 trillion investment into minority communities affected by “industrial pollution.” Warren argues that “justice” plays a massive role in properly addressing the climate change “crisis,” citing studies that suggest that black and Hispanic families are disproportionately affected by air pollution caused by white people:
A more recent study found that while whites largely cause air pollution, Blacks and Latinxs are more likely to breathe it in. Unsurprisingly, these groups also experience higher rates of childhood asthma. And many more low-income and minority communities are exposed to toxins in their water – including lead and chemicals from industrial and agricultural run-off.
Warren calls this phenomenon “environmental racism” and concludes that “environmental injustice is the result of decades of discrimination and environmental racism compounding in communities that have been overlooked for too long.”

WTF?????????????????? This is turning into madness.
She going to go after all white guys who pee on trees next?
How is a money fountain going to make a place like, say, Baltimore, liveable?
Latinxs
Honoring Latinos and Latinas with grammatically incorrect Spanish.
Is this from the Babylon Bee (sarcasm). Since you are from Chicago, you can see what they have done to their own neighborhoods, going back to Cabrini Green. She is nuts. Leftist panderers, all of them.
"...and concludes that 'environmental injustice is the result of decades of Democrat Policies compounding in communities that have been overlooked for too long.'”
Fixed! Whatever they're b!tching about, just substitute 'Democrat Policies' to get the TRUTH!
Keeeeep diggin’!
Trump’s gonna get all 50.
“A more recent study found that while whites largely cause air pollution, Blacks and Latinxs are more likely to breathe it in.”
WTF??? Words fail me.
I'm from the tribe, and I'm here to help scalp.
More lib s^^t!
Hoo boy. This sort of mush is no substitute for logic.
Calling Dr. Sowell...
I wish Liz would concentrate on more serious things, like moon racism.
In particular, when the moon is white, it is called a “full moon”. That implies that when the moon is not white, it is somehow lacking or empty.
If these idiots had their way, they would force all white people from the cities to go live in the wilderness without modern conveniences.
Everything is always our fault according to them.
I’m sick of this blame game crap.
In the 50s and 60s, it was called job creation. Particularly the manufacturing kind, which paid better than service sector and helped grow the middle class.
Now it’s called environmental racism.
The real message here is, just like so many other situations, any time a white person succeeds, target them. Of course it would be ridiculous to target anyone by (any other) race. We aren’t going to target minority owned polluters because we already have a federal agency that is supposed to regulate these things with equal opportunity. So we all know it’s just political pandering.
Nose hairs filter out a lot of stuff. Maybe some people are mouth breathers?
Looks pretty well dispersed to me. The "hot spots" look like a dem stronghold map but other than that, plenty of them in rural, white areas.
The ones around me on MO are mostly old mines. Everyone that uses steel, lead, copper, etc needs to pay me. /s

We need to be fair about this.
Toxic waste dumps need to be put in every wealthy neighborhood that votes Democratic.
