Sen. Ed Markey (D-MA) and Rep. Cori Bush (D-MO) introduced on Thursday the ‘‘Environmental Justice Mapping and Data Collection Act of 2021’’ to gather data and direct federal money to communities around the country they say face environmental injustice.
Those injustices, they say, include pollution, police killing black Americans and other minorities, and poverty, among others.

Sadly....our institutions of so-called “higher learning” have dumbed down their graduates to the point where some people will hear this nonsense and say, “Yeah...that’s right...”
Equality is granting everyone fair and equall opportunities. Equity however on the other hand is marxism. “From each according to his ability to each according to his need.”
This social justice crap needs to end.
Ed Malarkey.

Get ready for 4+ years of it, and it’ll only intensify into every area of our lives.
I wish I could disagree, but I know your right.
They have to convince blacks, people not exactly known for affinity for econoboxes, that stratospheric gasoline prices are good for them because something-something social justice and that global warming somehow concentrates over their neighborhoods. 90% of them will believe it or won’t care.
There was a time I legit had a 130 IQ, but after trying to follow the Dems’ convoluted logic on multiple subjects, I might have lost several points. What the heck the climate has to do with “racial justice” I’ll never understand. Are we going to make sure all blacks only live where perpetual sunshine and roses exist while the rest of us experience daily thunderstorms?
Neither “environmental justice” nor “racial justice” have a thing to do with equity before the bench. Those constructs have more to do with revenge than justice, peddled by charlatans and con artists, as a way to extract goods and promises from the innocent parties by expropriation and redistribute the largesse to the undeserving.
“Environmental justice is racial justice”
Saying something doesn’t mean it’s true.
Pollution targets blacks only? Who know? Markey is a scum bag.
As to pollution. Yes I imagine that blacks do get more of it. Not because they are black, but because so many of them are poor. Poor people tend to have crappier stuff than wealth people. That ‘stuff’ includes neighborhoods that aren’t right next to sources of pollution.
But what they really want according to another article, is for the money to flow into and be distributed by neighborhood “community leaders” as opposed to the regular bureaucracy. I think we all know what that means and how it will turn out.
The dims will prop up all of this by; providing gas vouchers for da poor just like section 8 housing. In NO way will any of these Xiden policies effect their POC base. These people will get crumbs and love it all in the name of racial justice while I will end up paying more of my check to compensate for the “party’s” gifts.
“Blind” is the only qualifier to the word “justice”. All the others are Marxist tripe.
These people are nucking futs.

Boy, St. Louis must be proud - this Cori Bush is off to a running start.
She no doubt has a list of her Soros marching orders on her bathroom mirror.
End goal is to rob from White Peter to pay Black Paul (with a healthy cut for anyone with a “D” after their name).
All the rest about maps and environment etc. is all a bunch of hoohah.
all cities have pollution. So we must move all poor people of color out of cities to rural areas. Where they are stuck because they can’t afford the gas, and where they will get sicker because social services aren’t as widespread in the rural areas as in the cities. And where the housing may be substandard to city housing. And, they’ll bring their dogs with them to the rural areas which will run loose and harass and kill livestock because most city dogs are not suitable for agricultural areas. And the kids run loose stealing farm equipment, harassing animals and plastering grafitti over the landscape. Their parents could care less where their own are at any given minute because they’re too busy gang-banging as usual. Parents you can’t confront, because tribalism kicks in and now it’s 30-1. And since they are “paper-poor”, the livestock owner or the homeowner who’s windows are shot out by errant bbguns or fence is crashed by a drunk neighbor, whose street turns into a dump, or the tree guy who has his equipment stolen, has no recourse to be made whole before that person moves out to parts unknown. A poor person who moves is not going to change their lifestyle or attitude towards other people’s property. So there’s that. Apple Valley is a perfect example; a quiet town of quiet people now living in a dump as the desert around them is littered with garbage, the streets are loud well past 1am and the local PD no longer can keep up with the crime.
Which is what Trump was trying to avoid by killing the ‘no zoning’ trend that would force suburban and rural areas to incorporate highdensity housing into every area of America and which would allow your neighbor to build high-density housing right next to your barn. This article sounds like a prelude to another push for ‘no zoning’ so city people can push off the mismanagement of their problems onto country people.
Redirect money, that’s the same as stealing it.
Stop the steal!
“to gather data and direct federal money to communities around the country they say face environmental injustice.”
And do what? Unless you got federal troops to enforce environmental justice, whatever that is (and you don’t have the troops) this is more feel good BS for the deep state weenie politicians.
