Rather than confront the root causes of #youth instability, the system is skewed toward punishing young #peopleofcolor and their families.

by Rebecca Hersher, January 26, 20234:38 PM ET
Most of the pollution is happening near communities of color
"In the #USA, people with less power have consistently been exposed to more pollution, whether it's excess #AirPollution from #highways and #factories, drinking water #contamination, exposure to #lead paint or polluted #lakes and #rivers.
"That trend shows up clearly in the new report, which finds that the majority of the worst-#polluting refineries are located near communities that have lower-than-average #income and a higher-than-average proportion of #NonWhite residents.
"A further NPR analysis of the data finds even more stark inequities: some types of water pollution are concentrated overwhelmingly in communities where people of color live.
"For example, about three-quarters of the nitrogen, selenium and dissolved solid #pollution from #oil refineries came from facilities that are surrounded by neighborhoods that are home to people of color.
"The #EPA declined to comment on the report or on NPR's findings."

The greatest problem with fake “people of color” is that millions think themselves superior to real people of color. That’s costly to everyone, but to the posers least of all.
For millions of “White” people, pigment is literally worth dying for, unless it’s on someone who’s been born into it. In those instances, many of those same “White” people think it’s worth killing over.

We want to support as many #lgbtqia and #peopleofcolor -owned businesses as we can. Looking for suggestions for outdoor activities and restaurants where we can support those who are not being supported by their government. Ideas?

#Illinois is the 1st state to ban #BookBans. #Schools or #libraries that do so could lose state funds. Book bans target stories by & about #PeopleOfColor & #LGBTQ & goes agst the #FirstAmendment. We must follow IL's lead & need to enact #legislation to put a ban on #BookBanning.

The lack of full and proper #health #screening and #testing disproportionately and negatively affects #women and #PeopleOfColor leading to unnecessary suffering for millions, to potentially hundreds of millions, of people globally.
That any #patient is made to suffer (negligence is always deliberate, even if subconscious) for years, decades, a lifetime, simply because the #medical establishment lacks rigor is a condemnation of the profession.

Polizei-Studie in Britain - Schwarze Kinder werden sechs Mal häufiger kontrolliert Rassismus-Vorwürfe gegen die britische Polizei gibt es bereits. Eine neue Studie zeigt, dass er nicht unbegründet ist. Danach werden Schwarze Kinder viel häufiger einer Leibesvisitation unterzogen als Kinder mit heller Hautfarbe. Auslöser der Studie ist ein schockierender Fall aus London. https://www.migazin.de/2023/03/28/polizei-studie-britain-schwarze-kinder/ #Diskriminierung #Großbritannien #PeopleofColor #dpa
