Now smog is racist.....

Across America, people of color are exposed to more air pollution than whites from industry, vehicles, construction and many other sources, a new study has found. 

Using government air pollution and census data, researchers found that disproportionate numbers of non-white people were exposed to potentially hazardous fine particle pollution from nearly all major U.S. emission sources, regardless of where they live or how much money they make.

    Particulate matter is racist?

    Particle floating in the air:
    "I won't bother those White people, I'll go across town and fuck with that Black neighborhood."

    1. It’s a FACT!!
      If you live next door to a black family, they get more pollution than you do.

  2. oh for fucks sake. Can these people be more disingenuous. If black people would stop killing each other, having abortions and committing crimes on their own and other races and get to work and stop blaming white people for all of their miseries, maybe, just maybe they'd make something of themselves and be able to increase their population demographic higher than 13% it's been for the last hundred years.

    I am so affing sick of the race baiting by almost every scientific community in the world, I'm ready to spit fire.

    1. ...not to mention the two biggest generators of pollution; by whatever metric you care to measure it by, carbon particulates, CO2, acidic compounds etc., are China and India both of whom are mostly exempt from the Paris Climate Accords. China is bringing a new coal fired power plant on line every week and has been for the last decade or since the Paris Climate Accords were entered into by the Obuttface administration.

      Does anyone really think that China, or India for that matter, have to install stack scrubbers on their coal fired power plants or other polluting industries like steel mills or other smelting activities, similar to what U.S. Federal Law has mandated for U.S. coal fired power generators?

      Remember when Beijing hosted the summer Olympics a few years ago and they had to shut down the entire country's manufacturing and most of its power generating capacity FOR A MONTH BEFORE THE GAMES to clear the air so that the athlete's could breathe? 25 years ago the owner of the company I worked for and the Sales/Marketing manager traveled to China to sell our products to the Chinese. When they came back, they told us how bad the air was in China. I'm sure you've seen the vids of the air pollution in Beijing and other Chinese cities where you can't SEE across a 100 yard space because of the pollution density. Notice that you don't see those vids in the news any more? Wonder why?

      But hey, you know, according to the Demonrats and these dogooder scientists we have to BANKRUPT OUR COUNTRY to clean up our air, which is orders of magnitude cleaner than it was in the 70's because globull warming, while the Chinese and other countries continue to pollute at a higher and higher rate by the day.

  4. I can drive through my neighborhood and see not a speck of litter anywhere on the street.
    Now compare with any barrio or ghetto in any city they exist.
    Trash and litter, broken down furniture, cars, etc. strewn everywhere.
    Does being poor mean you have to be a lazy, dirty slob too?
