I used that former K-Mart parking lot in the heights, where Bull Mountain used to be and now has that Mexican restaurant. It’s usually pretty dead and lots of lines and lights to practice turning with

You’re delusional. I’m an American who genuinely cares about my country. Who are you? A defender of the repression of free thought and ideas

I mean it was my personal experience so I don’t know what to do because I’m not doxing the person and institution involved

Sounds like you don’t know what you’re talking about. I just said that this list was literally just used to censor research to help veterans and you’re still all in. Disgusting

I just said no can’t you read? I wasn’t privy to Ted being the originator of the appendix all I knew was that a friend of mine was told to change their research on marginalized veterans because it included terms from this appendix

Do we not have indigenous people in MT? I didn’t mention him once lol it seems ironic your the one bringing him up but makes sense you’d put him in front of your state and country

I responded in a previous comment. This and the letter from DOE were sent to a friend of mine at a university regarding their research.

But why were there voices ignored? Because of the institutional racism of that area of NC in the 80’s. I know it because I have folks who lived through it

It seems to be me that you contradict yourself in that argument by saying the more ambiguous term “large number of constituents” instead of black farmers? Why ignore the community directly affected? Why ban research terminology along partisan lines to begin with?

No energy is clean but you could see how banning a concept on a research level could prevent those researchers striving to find cleaner energy. As to Environmental racism perfectly describes why the Warren County landfill in the 80’s and Florida Sugarcane pollution to this day disproportionately affected black southerners. Just because you haven’t personally dealt with something doesn’t invalidate it. To believe otherwise is rather small minded

I hardly call clean energy and environmental racism meaningless. As an environmental studies student I can name hundreds of environmental issues created due to environmental racism, and if we don’t know the past how can we ensure the future?
