Put them in an area less desirable because they are" Includes Indian burial areas that should not be built on top of, toxic spill areas, low flood zones both inland and coastal. Some of it does make since, temporary housing in areas that one day could not be usable one day due to eventual issues, like coastal flooding, but you should never allow housing, where peoples lives are ever at risk. Reparation's could still be asked, and does need too. A house, for all youve been through… ? Sorry to bring along, or remind, but ?
2:19 Wow. Talk about a dereliction of duty! What is the point of an #EPA if they just accept bribes to look the other way?
4:29 Maybe there should be a new law introduced: "Owners and Managers of companies like this plant, and other noxious-spewing businesses, MUST reside, as their MAIN residence, not further than 200-yards/75m of the worst side of said plant." 🤨
The Government regiert.
#Environmentalracism #environmentalterrorism
Shameful! The state and EPA needs to lean on Dupont! The residents need to sue that company!
It's everywhere…it depends who you are trying to beef up anger….look at Flint, Michigan's water issue….it's sad no matter….
I am so fed up with my people claiming everything is because of our skin colour.
The plant in Louisiana being allowed to spew death into the community obviously comes down to economic
Bias not r@ce.🤷🏿♂️ why is this so hard for people to see?
R@ce is an issue used by the government ( or those controlling the government) to control the masses.
Wake up people! It's economic oppression we need to stand against.
Don't tell the EPA where Southern University is located.
tell the health department why political controversy
Most citizens in Louisiana are apathetic and ignorant.
Just move the chemical plant next to Congress or to Martha's Vineyard.
why do you conceive children and just expect the government and other people to take care of them? you gotta work and make money to take care of your kids. the government and taxpayers dont owe you anything
2:52 No one in my life ever did the right thing, either. Our country is in the state it is in, due to people like him. He knew better, and he did nothing.
1:05 DuPont? ‘Nuff said. The members of the DuPont family are insane, and evil. Don’t believe me? Google it.
Because the South is worthless, and the Constitution gives the states the right to starve and murder black children at will.
Same as Uniontown, Alabama and now East Palestine, Ohio. Just wait until they start drilling in Alaska. Thank you Biden-Harris and Congress!! 😡🤬😡
Gop falt
too busy tuning their banjos? hmmmm
I don't think anything will change. Nobody at the plant gives a crap about people's lives
in-bred and dont know any better??? its a red state very close to Floriduh and TXanus duh
After its aired they finaly file a law suit lmao
Wait.. no coverage of East Palestine..but this? LOL
Because a democrat choo choo derailed and the Biden EPA burned a hydrochloric acid mushroom cloud over them.. Oh wrong story..
Hummmm…. Wondering what other academic, social, and emotional toxins are present in our community schools?
School is a gas chamber anyways
13 of the top 14 states with the highest death rate? The Republican-led states of Mississippi, West Virginia, Alabama, Oklahoma, Kentucky, Arkansas, Louisiana, Tennessee, South Carolina, Indiana, Ohio, Missouri and North Carolina.
Nothing will change because an elections season is coming up and that company has lobbyist.
🙏🇺🇲🙏. Because it's not getting any better for us (Black People). We have been sacrificed for centuries
