Jane Fonda says climate crisis can be blamed on racism: ‘Where would they put the sh—? Not Bel Air.’
MarketWatch ^ | January 27, 2023 | By Rachel Koning Beals

Actress, writer and activist Jane Fonda, whose protests have landed her in jail more than once, blamed the worst of climate change on racism during an interview to promote her new movie on “The Kelly Clarkson Show.”

Fonda appeared with her “80 for Brady” co-stars Lily Tomlin, Rita Moreno and Sally Field.

“Well, you know, you can take anything — sexism, racism, misogyny, homophobia, whatever, the war,” Fonda said. “And if you really get into it, and study it and learn about it and the history of it, everything’s connected. There’d be no climate crisis if it wasn’t for racism.”

Moreno asked Fonda to explain, and she replied, “Where would they put the sh—? Where would they put the poison and the pollution?

“They’re not gonna put it in Bel Air. They’ve got to find someplace where poor people or indigenous people or people of color are living,” continued Fonda, herself worth an estimated $200 million after a six-decade career in entertainment. “Put it there. They can’t fight back. And that’s why a big part of the climate movement now has to do with climate justice.”

Fonda, who is 85, said she’s been inspired to rally against environmental harms by Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg, who turned 20 earlier this month and began her activism with a solo sit-in in front of the Swedish parliament in 2018, when she was 15.

But she’s got a long history of activism. Fonda was given the infamous nickname “Hanoi Jane” after posing atop an anti-aircraft gun during a 1972 protest visit to North Vietnam.

I can play this game too. A consensus of plastic surgeons agree that face
lifts are racist.

the term activist has come to mean willing to lie and deceive to get the desired result as far as I am concerned.

The suggestion that pollution is only a problem for certain marginalized communities is not only untrue but also harmful. We must work to protect the health and well-being of all people, not just dividing people into collectives, creating group warfare, and protecting members of certain collectives.

The left and the rich won’t get their hands dirty in those facilities.

Re #15. Don’t forget, she ratted on the POWs at the Hanoi Hilton after they gave slips of papers for their families. Bitch will rot in hell for eternity.

Hanoi Jane should have been either shot or hung 60 years ago.

You skipped over “Climate Catastrophe.” How could you do that? I’m not sure if the Catastrophe comes before or after the Crisis. It’s so hard to keep it straight.
