      There’s no point in dividing people in the class war. It’s a poverty issue and we are stronger the more united we are.

        I’m not dividing shit, if that was what you are implying. In Memphis he very much chose to pollute communities of color, specifically, with his (possibly illegal) hydrocarbon burning.

        It is important for us to understand that these sorts of dynamics are more likely to affect poor communities based on things like skin color, because they are the same communities that we continue to blight.

        See also Memphis putting garbage dumps and other bullshit smack in the middle of communities of color.

        If white neighborhoods carried the same risk, I would agree with you.
