A recent NAACP Texas State Conference report declares energy and climate change as civil rights issues.

The report assesses energy policy in the State of Texas from a civil rights lens.

In a statement, NAACP Texas President Gary Bledsoe said “The poisoning of Latino Americans and African Americans living in the shadows of oil refineries and coal fired power plants from Houston to San Antonio; the children who are flooding across our borders sent by hopeful parents who pray that these children will have better lives than their own as their crops dry up and their communities are destroyed by disasters; and the failure and lack of vision some of our own legislators, who opposed the recently released Carbon Pollution Standards that aim to curb pollution and prevent climate change. These issues are all interrelated ant that’s what we’ll be discussing tomorrow.”

The left has been trying to find a way to attach the issue of race to the issue of environmentalism for about 35 years.

The article is a perfect example of why it is important to wipe out Common Core.

It's also the civil right of all taxpayers to be free from spurious claims made by people who stupidly chose to buy houses next door to refineries.

“The left has been trying to find a way to attach the issue of race to the issue of environmentalism for about 35 years.”

Too funny; I’d imagine even the staunchest environmentalists may have their faith shaken by having these race hustlers on their side...Why not connect the sexual deviants as well? Atheists?

I’ve posted before that we are living in 1936 Spain; the same lines are being drawn. Ethnic malcontents, the permanent underclass, atheists, and communists against traditional hard-working “normal” people. The left today has inherited the same problems they had in 1936; people rebeling against normalcy don’t take orders from their own “leaders”, either. What the right is lacking today is a sense of unity; in 1936 it only got fixed when the left pushed too hard (killing a lot of people in the process to get the war started).
