white and affluent drivers are polluting the air breathed by people of color, mr. roth is racked by guilt for how he is driving on the 405 to the valley and it s not only growing his carbon footprint, he s fueling other racist outcomes as well. he said i couldn t help but consider my only complicit while reading a new study from usc researches, found that angelinos who drive less tend to be exposed to more pollution. now the argument is that low income communities of color were torn apart to make way for freeways over the decade, while the whiter, richer, this constitutes environmental racism. environmental racism, it s about policies that practices that discriminate against communities of color by making them live near landfills, sewage plants and polluting facilities. by making people live near landfills? we re making people live next to polluting facilities? well, that s obviously ridiculous. and this is obviously not about race, it s about poverty. and who is to blame
and. then spend those moneys on sustainability projects that make their donors and their cronies rich. also if freeways are racist, the king of bigots must be president dwight d. eisenhower who commissioned the construction of 41,000 miles of highway in the federal highway act of 1956. i want you to meet the godfather of the environmental justice movement, robert bullard. when we talk about infrastructure in the past. infrastructure like highways and roads. that infrastructure was detrimental to many communities, black and brown communities and destroyed a stable community. so we have to be careful not to assume that all infrastructure is created equal. people actually write those lines. of course, what this is really all about is control. democrats don t have any real plans to raise the general standard of living for working people. white black brown. in fact, they re doing the opposite. their wrecking our economy without a control spending and by limiting our oil and gas
