| Is Climate ChangeÂ…Racist? |
| 2008-08-04 |
| It is if you can cash in on it... Liberals know the best way to get black people interested in a political issue: to racialize it and couch it in language like "equity" and "social justice," and push for yet more government programs. That's why reports like A Climate of Change: African Americans, Global Warming, and a Just Climate Policy in the U.S. (PDF) are written. On Tuesday, liberal Congressman James Clyburn spoke at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C., to kick off the Environmental Justice and Climate Change Initiative, sponsored by the Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies. The left-leaning think tank created the Commission to Engage African-Americans on Climate Change to encourage blacks to join the global warming debate. "It is critical our community be an integral and active part of the debate because African Americans are disproportionately impacted by the effects of climate change economically, socially and through our health and well-being," Clyburn said. |

| #4 Yes - anything that exists is racist if it helps blacks blame everythign on someone else instead of facing up to the fact that their valuing "tribalism" and following poverty pimps has lead them to a dead end, self destructing. |

| #2 I've said it before, I'll say it again. "United We Stand" is the national motto for a reason. The Democrats oppose a strong citizenry ruling themselves (gov't of, by, and for the people), so the strategy of divide and conquer is applied so that the poor darkie, who is obiviously incapable of ruling himself, can be taken care of by his betters. I love the irony that the party who claims to be against prejudice is in actuality the most prejudiced party around. |

| #1 You'd think the racists would have developed a better, simpler, plan to screw with blacks than changin the Earth's temperature. The man works in mysterious ways, eh Mr Feather? |
