    Climate Change exists. Always has, always will. It too is exaggerated, and used as a means to cause hysteria, and hopefully, increase taxation and benefit certain parties.
    Of course racism still exists. It always will. However in the US racism is nothing close to true racism in other parts of the world.


    The US is the antidote to racism. The problem here now is that racism is a for profit industry. Many people depend on it in order to maintain their lucrative living, so they ensure their roil it up whenever possible. They get away with finding racism in anything. Even a well maintained lawn in your yard.


    Claiming that racism causes the earth’s climate to be cyclical is idiocy of the highest degree.

    I wouldn't call the US the antidote. Technically, we have laws against the actions or spoken words of racism, but we cannot (and hopefully never will) control thought.

    The absurdity of people who feel they can say that an action was 'based' in racism, when it was not a racist action are the ones attempting to exaggerate, and make use of a tender subject. In other words, make it profitable.

    Claiming racism causes climate change is so absurd as to not be worthy of thought.

    For some sad reason.
    Politicians must create a problem, or crisis, in order that they get the authority to solve it. They don't quietly preempt them.

    The clever term 'virtue signaling' was coined for minor celebrities like this lot.

    It's Jane Fonda spouting her mouth off against something she does not understand because Climate Change and Racism are hot progressive topics.

    The conversation the women have is interesting--but flawed.



    No, the wealthy and working send their garbage to garbage dumps. Quite often where they have been for many decades now when nobody lived near them. More recently low income communities spring up around them because the land is cheaper especially for "affordable" housing projects the government backs up.

    Nobody is targeting the poor or black people with their garbage, with freeways, with industry, ect......and that WOKE nonsense needs to be corrected.

    Nobody is "targeting" per se, but SuperFund sites don't exist on Martha's Vineyard, and there's a reason for that.
