    Jane Fonda struggling to relevant.

    This one is pretty funny. Jane Fonda said there would be no ‘climate crisis” if not for racism. What is this woman thinking?

    She's got pollution and climate change confused. But how even than was caused by racism, well, everything is racist, so....

    As usual, Fonda is hyper-focused on a small problem, and she's crediting it for what she feels is a larger issue.

    There is an issue there -- but it's not so much racism as it is the result of pollution and a power imbalance between the wealthy and the poor.

    What Fonda misses is that the poor are not necessarily of a different race. In fact, number-wise, more whites live in poverty in the United States than minorities. Percentage-wise is a different story, of course.

    So Fonda makes the sweeping comment, and Rita Moreno challenges her. Fonda explains how wealthy communities send their garbage to poor communities. Of course, she means black communities. Kelly Clarkson thinks Fonda explained it wonderfully--the interconnectedness of it all.

    She is correct in the assertion that wealthy communities shuffle their trash to poor communities that don't have the ability to stop it. Where she jumps the shark is in asserting the garbage (or other pollution) is the specific cause of climate change and that the shuffling is based on racism.

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

    You can see it here -- the relevant part starts around the 5-minute mark.

    To be honest, I didn't know Fonda was still alive. That's probably why she's talking, to let everyone know. Climate change and racism are both problems, but they are not related.

    Climate Change and racism are media made issues, the media puppet will claim they are issues, they're not.

    Racism still exists. I don't believe it is the level some want it to be, and I do mean 'want'. It is a cudgel that one group likes to use as a weapon against the other, even though the other (by majority) doesn't participate in the claimed actions.

    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.

    I don't claim racism and climate change don't exist. As you state, CD, they've existed since Adam and Eve. They're made "issues" of in the media and this forum is chock f'n full of media puppets.

    For some sad reason.
