Next we will learn gasoline gets worse gas mileage in black neighborhoods, Ben & Jerries ice cream tastes less sweet in black neighborhoods, and even the sky is less blue over black neighborhoods than anywhere else.
Because = racism.
The story...
A new study by the University of Washington-Tacoma argues that one of the reasons why minority communities in inner cities experience hot temperatures in the summer is because of systemic racism.
Assistant Professor of Urban Ecology Christopher Schell and the co-authors of the study concluded that systemic racism in city planning leads to fewer trees being planted in low-income neighborhoods and, consequently, higher temperatures.
It is also racist that there is less fresh produce in the inner city - even though a study and businesses themselves say that nobody buys it when they stock it so they lose money on it rotting away on the store shelves.
I really want to know how the mind of a liberal works. It is a truly fascinating (yet sad and scary) sight to behold.
Generally, where the conservative mind uses facts, reason, and logic, the liberal mind is driven purely by emotion.
How often do they refer to "feelings" or how something "feels".
They will press on with laws and regulations that oppress a massive number of people in order to enhance or protect a tiny number, usuallly prefacing that with "if it saves one child...", etc. You can provide facts and evidence until you are blue in the face that the problem they are trying to solve is not a problem for 99% of people, while the solution is a problem for 50% of the people, and they will still ignore your entire factually supported line of reasoning, with "but if it saves JUST ONE PERSON, it is worth it".
Another extreme common expression by liberal is "but we HAVE to do something". The first question a conservative asks is, "how can we achieve something", followed by, "what are the costs and benefits, finanicially and otherswise", also with "has this been tried and worked/failed elsewhere", etc. Not liberals. If it feels good, you have to go with it.
This is why liberals can feel a hot summer and conclude that man is behind global warming, without asking how the previous 5 ice ages ended without factories, SUV, and man-generated CO2. You can teach them that the temps are rising on Mars and Venus as well as Earth and ask them to explain how Earthings are causing those planets to rise in atmospheric temperatures. It goes right in one year and out the other, because they feel hot so man must be causing it.
They see a couple of bad hurricanes in a 10 year span and that has to mean ocean levels are rising. Never mind the year 1900 Category 4 hurricane in Galveston TX, or the year 1926 hurricane that leveled Miami FL, or the year 1969 hurricane that slammed Mississippi, or the year 1928 hurricane that clobbered West Palm Beach. All in the top 10 of all time.
So when did the ocean levels fall after the 1920s?
You can't use logic with liberals. You have to appeal to their emotions. The media, school teachers, and Democrate politicians have mastered the art of whipping liberals into a frenzy with emotional appeal. Conservatives make the critial mistake of appealing to their intellect - an intellect that generally is not being used for that purpose.

Actually your 2nd statement is 100% true. I was always a fan of Blue Bell over all other ice cream companies till I moved to Austin, which is a whiter city than Houston. Ben and Jerry's, definitely tastes sweeter in whiter places. , I would never buy Ben and Jerry's in Houston but for some reason in Austin, it's always itching at the mind.
It is also racist that there is less fresh produce in the inner city - even though a study and businesses themselves say that nobody buys it when they stock it so they lose money on it rotting away on the store shelves.
I never realized that, but I can't say I am surprised.
Here is my pesonal anecdote.
My friend took up a 2nd job working in his cousin's liquor store in downtown San Francisco. I think the welfare checks came in every 2 weeks on Friday. Don't quote me on that. Anyway, whatever day it was that the EBT cards got refilled, every other week his cousin's liquor store would be overrun with welfare moms dragging their children behind buying armloads of potato chips, snacks, crackers, nuts, candy, cookies and other very fattening, nutrient-deficient items.
These were regulars. Locals. This was a regular thing. Every 2 weeks like clockwork, these people would invade the store like a swarm of locusts and devour every high calorie salty or sweet snack in sight.
I mean, did these kids ever get an apple or potato or broccoli or spinach?
So my own anecdotal story does indict what you wrote about there being no market for healthy produce among a certain segment of the population.

LOL. You realize that is impossible, right?
Ben and Jerrys only have 3 ice cream producing plants. One is located in Hellendoorn, Netherlands, meaning all Ben and Jerrys ice cream sold in the USA comes from either their original plant in Waterbury, Vermont which began operating in 1985, or at their 2nd US plant in St. Albans, Vermont which opened in 1994.
So you know all Ben and Jerrys ice cream is made in Vermont and it is simply factually impossible for it to be sweeter in a Texas city with higher white population than a Texas city with higher black population.
But thanks for playing.
Now we have a City Data contributor who states that even the arch Socialists Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield, who founded Ben and Jerry's ice cream, are racists now too and intentionally serve sweeter ice cream to whites than to blacks.
Despite the fact that it is hard to find more liberal sociliasts on the planet than Ben and Jerry. They are left of Bernie Sanders, and contributed to his presdential run. But now they are racists too.
Can I call it, or can I call it? I predicted this, in spades.
So my original statement stands. "You can't make this **** up".

Are temperatures significantly different in mostly white inner city neighborhoods?
