Study Claims White Drivers Pollute Black, Brown Areas of Los Angeles
Paul Bois 9 Mar 2023
A new study by a set of USC researchers claims that white drivers overwhelmingly pollute black and brown areas of Los Angeles.
Writing in the Los Angeles Times, Sammy Roth reflected on his own alleged “complicity” in polluting the lives of minorities when he discovered that “Angelenos who drive more tend to be exposed to less air pollution — and Angelenos who drive less tend to be exposed to more pollution.”
“The core finding is that for every 1% increase in miles driven to and from work by people who live in a particular part of L.A. County, there’s an estimated 0.62% decrease in the lung-damaging ‘fine particulate matter’ to which those Angelenos are exposed,” wrote Roth.
Geoff Boeing, a professor at the USC Sol Price School of Public Policy and lead author of the study, told Roth that the alleged problem stems from Los Angeles County’s racist history of building highways through “low-income communities of color.”
“Today, many residents of the county’s whiter, more affluent neighborhoods — who were often able to keep highways out of their own backyards — commute to work through lower-income Black and Latino neighborhoods bisected by the 10, 110, 105 freeways and more,” Roth noted.
Boeing said that the white commuters simply drive their cars through those neighborhoods and rarely stop to patronize businesses.

:facepalm2:
So, Sammy Roth, you should give up your car and give it to some auto-less black or brown person. And you should make amends for your prior sinfulness by buying cars for other auto-less blacks and browns.
Will you? I didn't think so.

Goebbels is spinning in his grave because he's been completely outdone by woke Leftists in propaganda.

One of the latest claims of evil racism of whites towards blacks is the accusation that many four lanes put through black areas of major cities destroyed those communities. The contention is that the expressways ruined the solidarity or something of the black communities somehow and forced many into lives of crime. I'm still trying to figure that one out.
Think about it....there's probably been numerous four lanes put through white areas, but no claims of destroyed communities from those white areas.
Now cars, or people driving their cars to work are being racist.
The people who said that in the future everything will be racist were very prescient.

Probably not since GPS made it hard to get lost...

Face it, when traveling, I do wiki areas to check demographics before choosing a motel to bed down. It is called discernment... of which I do not apologize.

I’ve seen a couple of the most woke, virtue signaling, so-called white anti-racist who, when the chips are down, will deathly avoid minority areas
