This analysis is the inevitable result of what happens when an all-white editorial team publishes something about climate change. smdh.https://twitter.com/thebafflermag/status/833667537820905472 …

Penny's theory is: poor will suffer the consequences of climate change. Umm. It's people of color. You really did class over race... again.
-
But what I'm especially offended by is this idea that people have a "puritan" culture here. What in the entire fuck?
-
Or this idea that "our parents" were oddly calm about the threat of apocalypse. WHOSE parents? Not parents of color, I'll tell you that.

As an indigenous person, I *been* concerned about climate change. We been concerned about it for a very long time.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VB2TQqqMWkI …

Talk to indigenous peoples anywhere on the planet. Trust me, they been concerned with climate change for generations.

It's offensive to shell this kind of analysis out in 2017. In fact, it's dangerous—it obscures who's being harmed. "savage confiscation" wtf

If
@thebafflermag actually had poc on staff, they'd probably flag the fact that Laurie Penny is about to publish something really offensive. -
That's part of what's so painful about the Trump era: all-white editorial teams aren't telling the full the story or analysis.

I love what you say about environmental racism because it hits the problem on the head so clearly
-
especially where I live-Toledo. The factories and runoff dumps are specifically placed in areas to affect people of color
-
but no one talks about that, making it a class issue. It's so ignored when it's clearly racist and it's abominable.
