UCLA Law Prof: ‘Hi-Tech Capitalist Solutions’ For Climate Change Are Racist

AchiumeA law professor at UCLA believes “hi-tech capitalist solutions” for the alleged climate-change crisis are “perpetuating racism.”

Tendayi Achiume [pictured], who’s finishing up her tenure as United Nations Special Rapporteur on Contemporary Forms of Racism, Racial Discrimination, Xenophobia, and Related Intolerance, told The Guardian that “green solutions […] are being implemented at the expense of racially and ethnically marginalized groups and Indigenous peoples.” [emphasis, links added]


These include electric vehicles, renewable energy, and “the rewilding of vast tracts of land.”

The Zambia native said:

She obviously sees everything through the racism lens.  Why doesn't she go back to Zambia where there is no racism :whistle: and she can live in poverty and won't have to face it? :tongue2:
