Natural Gas Cooking Appliances are so extremely hazardous
to your health that the entire USA must ban them and remove
them from all kitchens, for real, LOL...

LA Times Blames White Drivers For Polluting The Air Breathed By
'People Of Color'

A few days back writer Sammy Roth wrote a piece in the LA Times about
a new form of racism in LA.

Roth cited a study from the University of Southern California that
states the following:

    “Decades of racially-motivated freeway infrastructure planning and
residential segregation shape today's disparities in who produces
vehicular air pollution and who is exposed to it, but opportunities
exist for urban planning and transport policy to mitigate this
injustice.

    "[LA residents] who drive more tend to be exposed to less air
pollution — and Angelenos who drive less tend to be exposed to more
pollution.

    “It’s a function of the racism that shaped this city and its
suburbs, and continues to influence our daily lives — and a stark
reminder of the need for climate solutions that benefit everyone."

The study is titled 'Local Inequities in the Relative Production of
and exposure to Vehicular Air Pollution in Los Angeles' – and was
authored by Professor Geoff Boeing.

Roth revealed that Boeing told him, “…it largely comes down to the
shameful history of Los Angeles County’s low-income communities of
color being torn apart to make way for freeways — a history that has
been extensively documented by The Times"

    "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, and 105 freeways and more."

The solutions prescribed range from banning gasoline vehicles,
obviously, and allowing more apartment construction in wealthier
neighborhoods.

The study faced backlash on social media, particularly Twitter, which
is free from the tyranny of the left...

    REMINDER: There aren’t separate communist groups. They’re all the
same group with the same goal: Destroying this nation.

    That’s why seemingly separate groups work together. The climate
nutters work with the race hustlers who work with the LGBTQ demon mob
who work with… https://t.co/UIFOLpeAa6

    Congratulations to the author of this piece @Sammy_Roth. You have
managed to write not only the most idiotic but racist piece of 2023!

    This has become like old timey, nonsensical racism at this point...

There are many questions that deserved to be asked.

Firstly, how on earth does a professor, who is supposed to be an
individual of accomplishment and considerable education think of
dedicating time to such futile pursuits?

Secondly, how does a study such as this get approval and funding from
higher authorities?

There are a few possibilities here.

The first is that the professor, the LA Times, and those who approved
and funded the study really believe that climate change will end the
planet and that eliminating gasoline vehicles is the only solution.
Perhaps they also believe in claims of racially-motivated freeway
infrastructure planning.

The second possibility is that proponents know that such claims are
music to the ears of the members of the echo chamber of the left. They
probably hope that the ludicrous claims would help their careers and
the University financially. They probably realize that their gravely
misleading assertion would trigger a backlash which enabled him to
claim victimhood, which again helps their cause.

The third possibility is that electric car manufacturers or anyone who
stands to gain from the green energy sector have either funded the
study or donated generously to the university. The professor was
informed about the conclusion he had to arrive at, he merely worked
his way backward to develop these preposterous claims of racist
freeways and infrastructure.

They may get lucky, perhaps Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg,
who is struggling with myriad catastrophes in Transportation, will use
the article to virtue signal or push initiatives to clean up his
image.

Beyond this specific study, this is demonstrable proof of how far
academic institutions and their faculty have drifted from their
original purpose of enlightening young minds. Their sole purpose now
seems to be to divide people into groups where minorities are the
victims, and the majority are the perpetrators.

When young minds are influenced, the results are devastating.

Instead of triggering healthy debates and discussions, the young are
perpetually ‘triggered’ by everything from a red cap with a white
letter that isn’t a MAGA hat but looks like one to the text in Roald
Dahl’s books for children.

Instead of applying their energies to innovate, they are perennially
focused on trivialities such as gender types and pronouns.

Instead of striving for excellence, they strive to find new reasons to
be offended in order to prove their moral superiority.

Instead of looking at the world with a healthy amount of skepticism
but an open mind, they look at every event from the perspective of
racism, sexism, homophobia, and xenophobia.

Instead of challenging themselves by being subjected to different
perspectives, they prefer safe spaces and echo chambers.

Soon all growth comes to a permanent end.

Once upon a time, inventors developed innovations that were beneficial
to mankind such as the steam engine, the light bulb, the airplane,
etc.

These days all that is invented is new kinds of theoretical categories
of pronouns, sexuality, gender, and hashtags.

What is worst is that the proponents of these ideas are not
necessarily true believers; they do it because they know it avails
them of lucrative opportunities in the ecosystem.

What they do not realize or probably do not care about is that this
trivialization of bigotry makes a mockery of the darkest emotions that
humans have.

These beliefs of bigotry have been the driving force for genocide and
systemic persecution of humans merely for being different. Every
brutal dictator from Hitler to Stalin was driven by these foul
emotions. Bigotry needs to be confronted and overcome by education.

But when everything is branded racist, nothing really is

Once upon a time when one read about a racist attack, it caused
instant revulsion which lasted for ages. Alas, the left has propagated
so many racist hoaxes that even the real incidences motivated by
racism will no longer be believed. Perhaps people look at the racism
of the past and wonder if they too were overstatements by partisan
historians.

That the only way to end racism is to look beyond race and treat
people based on merit.

Discriminating against or blaming Caucasians will not resolve issues;
it will create further division. It is deeply unfair because
Caucasians who live in current times have nothing to do with racism in
the past. Even the grand and great-grandchildren of racists are not
responsible for the sins of their forefathers and do not deserve to be
punished.

There is no such notion as collective guilt or guilt due to genetic
association. Individuals are responsible for their actions only.

It is said that to destroy a nation, you strike at its foundation i.e.
educational institutions.

When educational institutions choose indoctrination over education,
that ruins young and impressionable minds, it doesn’t take time for
the nation to come tumbling down
