You can't make this stuff up.

It is getting deep in here. Everthing is racism.

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.

The dipstick doesnt have a clue. The older neighborhoods have larger older trees. Somehow that is probably racist too. Urban heat islands are just a thing. The punk that wrote the piece probably just virtue signaling, but looking comepletely ignorant doin it. The assistant professor probably never been to a f'd up neighborhood and still wet behind the ears.

I really want to know how the mind of a liberal works. It is a truly fascinating (yet sad and scary) sight to behold.

No, inner cities many of which built decades ago came about frequently because of proximity to jobs/industry which means densely populated and/or built up areas hence more concrete and asphalt along with fewer trees. It is not racism. Many cities were overbuilt and over populated with buildings and people.

Talk to the thermometer until you don't see any red, solves racism and climate change !!!

Nothing can eliminate either one but it does reduce them to acceptable levels !!!
