I beg you to keep posting these gems.
By her logic, if they financed a solar system and it sparked a forest fire, they'd be liable for the environmental clean up. Basically, she wants them to either see the future or just scare them off of funding projects she disagrees with.
They’ve gone full circle and are no better than the evil slave holders who had the same mentality.
Dear God.
We live in the dumbest times in the history of humanity.
Thank you for this gift Dems.

This is actually logical. Minorities are much more likely to live in full urban societies whereas whites predominantly live in suburban areas. Whites are statistically more likely to own a car and not depend on public transportation as their primary means of transportation. As such, whites in theory cause more personal pollution while minorities are more likely to live in the urban areas where air pollution aggregates to the highest levels. That said, its changing. Whites have started the rotation back to the urban areas which has caused values to rise and force out minorities (basically anyone low on the socio-economic scale) to the suburbs.
Can you please explain how poor blacks and poor whites are affected differently? And then middle class blacks vs middle class whites. And then bring it all home explaining how upper class blacks produce/consume different amounts vs upper class whites?
They aren't. But there are more 'poor blacks' than 'poor whites' living in the urban communities. And so when aggregated using raw totals across the entire populations then the math in the study works.
We need a world war. I don’t think anything short will reverse this trend of selfish entitlement and stupidity.
There are more poor blacks than poor whites in urban communities? I don’t have any data but I find that hard to believe. Per capita of course that’s true.
I’m interested if anyone actually believes this article and all of these grievance studies should be skin based and not wealth based. Poor people have it bad regardless of race. Rich people have it good regardless of race.
I agree with you completely. But as you highlighted, per capita, there are more 'rich' whites vs. 'rich' blacks, and there are more 'poor' blacks over 'poor' whites. It also disregards the impact of personal choice in people's situation. I think the study is factual, but its a good example of Mark Twain's quote: "There are lies, damn lies, and statistics." As with most things, you can find the stats to say and support almost any position.
I’ll take it a step further. NPR is evil by perpetuating this false skin color narrative in order to gain clicks by dividing us.
I wish I had a television show where people whose only choice, according to them, is to be poor would come on and explain their story. We would actually dive into their lives to see if it’s the white mans system or their personal choices that keep them poor.
