"White environmentalists and white polluters eventually wound up steering toxics into communities of color and increasing the toxic burden for people of color, which created a third wave of environmentalism, the environmental justice movement." Van Jones Van Jones speaks to David Room | Global Public Media
The bigger the polluting company, the less picky they are about whom they choose to trash. Example: General Electric Corp. polluted both the Hudson River (New York) and Housatonic River (Massachusetts and Connecticut) with PCBs and dioxin that have taken DECADES to clean up and will NEVER be fully remediated.
Yeah, and Bush and his henchmen and henchwoman murdered tens of thousands of innocent people. He shouldn't have stayed in the WH. I have no issues with Van Jones. In fact, its "refreshing" to see a new face in the WH, Jones is far left and I'm perfectly fine with it.
I don't think it is limited to people of color. People of any color with minimal political influence, limited means, a limited education, and a limited environmental awareness are going to be subjected to greater environmental pollution - either self-"imposed" and/or "imposed" by others.
Is Obama the extremist many of us already thought he was? Obama choosing Van Jones should make it clear that Obama most definitely a far left-wing extremist intent destroying America.
Are you people actually suggesting that America doesn't have a history of polluting minority communities?
If so, you are even more ignorant than I ever gave you credit for.
Justify the language that was used.... please explain so that we may no longer be ignorant.
