HOUSE MAJORITY WHIP: BLACKS ‘DISPROPORTIONATELY IMPACTED’ BY CLIMATE CHANGE

There was a study released Thursday by the Environmental Justice and Climate Change Initiative that said Blacks are more likely to be hurt by global warming than other Americans.

Now guess how long it took House Majority Whip James Clyburn to get find a microphone, a podium, and some cameras to make “climate change” a racial issue?

Five days. Not counting the weekend, three days. And most Congressmen don’t work Fridays, so two days.

Speaking at the National Press Club Tuesday, Clyburn said, “It is critical our community be an integral and active part of the debate because African-Americans are disproportionately impacted by the effects of climate change economically, socially and through our health and well-being.”

I’m glad to see Clyburn has already taken this study and decided to run full steam ahead with the race-baiting. And I can’t even imagine the ways that he’ll turn this into not only a wedge issue, but a way to load the budget with more pork.
