very briefly skimmed over it but got the gist. Companies dumping toxic chemicals around poor/sacrifice zones.
Biden makes promises but doesn't actually do anything. Then you make it into a racist thread instead of appropriate waste disposal solutions.

My interest to discuss has dissipated along with the credibility of your posts.


Just a minute ago you were all concerned about the welfare of inner city people.. what happened?

Whitey speaking up against racism in 2022 on tv. Very maverick and a totally unpopular opinion.


it certainly is amongst you guys. a significant percentage of right wingers outright denies that this kind of systemic racism even exists, and none of you would support any structural change to get rid of it, so spare us your silly attempts to downplay the importance of shining a light onto such issues, you hack.

Racism, environmentalism, a mix of them, yes novel and unpopular issues no one is covering in this day and age. My problem isn't that he's talking about them. Yeah people should condemn racism, pollution, etc but that's literally the mainstream perspective nowadays. Is there a deficit of people talking about these things today? People like him pile on when it's the safe and popular point of view and they are 'safe' for having these opinions. The equivalent of the white person on Facebook highlighting how not racist they are fully knowing they will get showered with likes from like-minded whites. So cringe.


I mean, if you want to boil this specific issue down to "racism/environmentalism" that's fine. I think that's pretty lazy though because I'd argue that MOST people don't know about this type of systemic racism. White culture dictates that racism was solved once Obama was elected and it took George Floyd dying just to understand that systemic racism still exists.

What topics do you think he should cover that aren't "mainstream" in your opinion?

Who knew simply living in america while black could get you killed without the cops laying a finger on you 🤔

The tldr is that poor areas get hit with toxic waste because companies and the government know they're less likely to fight back
