This is why it's important to talk about climate change in terms of race: social inequities always map themselves onto communities of color.
-
That's why we should be thinking about climate inequities, too. And we can't do that without considering history.
-
The same people who will be most protected from climate change are most protected because of their wealth. Where did that wealth come from?
-
Time and time again, we find that that wealth was generated by destroying the earth and some of its darker peoples.
-
When we think about
#Patricia, we need to think about history, wealth, climate, and race. It's possible. It's necessary. -
In fact, it's easier to think about
#Patricia by connecting history, wealth, climate, and race. It's harder to make it disjointed. -
The same should be said for every environmental story you come across. That oil refinery? Yeah, of course it's in a community of color.
-
Yet over and over again, race is suspended when we think about the environment in general. This needs to end. Our lives depend on it.
-
Pay attention to the way
#Patricia is already being framed. And pay attention to how you think about it. Race will matter here. A lot. - 1 more reply
