The typical EJ …
The typical EJ activist tends see things in such narrow terms as the white race conspiring to exploit black communities. They fail to realize key economic forces, for example, the long history of environmentally questionable economic activities opening up in white communities, and people of color migrating to these communities in search of jobs. Over the years, white flight occurred and the racial makeup of these communities changed naturally due to market forces. Its no a conspiracy.

I don’t disagree with you. I wrote that comment five months ago because I was trying to elicit different points of view for a paper was working on in my university. I agree that class and race intersect at different points for myriad reasons, one being the proverbial IQ disparity, but I also think that the socio economic class of a given neighborhood has more to do with whether a chemical plant owner will move in next door than the racial makeup. Its hard to sum this issue up in a soundbite.

Race and socioeconomic status are interrelated.

So although class plays a part in this, discounting race, instead of seeing it as cohesive with class, is an incorrect analysis.

I also was thinking about the recent Tase Early, Tase Often mentality in this country that was discussed in an article I read recently. The young people who were just using their Citizen’s Riight to non-violently demonstrate about the waste facility that was discussed in the video would they likely get tased in today’s world?
In fact, a more …
In fact, a more truthful term would be Environmental Classism. That is because there are currently no laws that only apply to black people, besides white people have been found to have the same problems. For example, the love canal incident took place in a poor white community. EJ activists always allude that environmental inequity stems from socio economic status, yet they continue to play racial politics by defining the problem as one of race instead of economy.
