4) 78 percent of Black Americans live within 30 miles of a coal-fired power plant, compared with 56 percent of White Americans.
Blacks are about 15% of the population and mostly live in the same areas they have for a hundred years, the same areas that have had coal for a hundred years, because that is what was used. Of course this number is skewed because of the hundred million whites on the west coast where there are no coal-fired plants
5) African Americans are 20 percent more likely than Whites to have asthma, a condition that is exacerbated by air pollution.
They are also more likely to get sickle cell anemia, etc. Is this the white man's fault, really?
6) Black Americans cause one-eighth the amount of global warming pollution caused by White Americans.
How the fuck do they know this?
7) Hurricane Katrina shrank the Black population in New Orleans by 57 percent.
Katrina shrank the entire population of New Orleans, a city that was about 80% black to begin with. Why not add that the earthquake in Haiti hurt 90% of blacks and only 5% of whites?
I stopped reading this swill after this.
