Faith Communities Connect Floyd Protests, Climate Change
June 2, 2020
STATE COLLEGE, Pa. — An interfaith group working to slow climate change says there is a link between ending reliance on fossil fuels and the protests taking place across the country.
The COVID-19 pandemic and protests over the police killing of George Floyd, an unarmed African-American man in Minneapolis, have eclipsed many other major news stories. But according to the Rev. Alison Cornish, executive director at Pennsylvania Interfaith Power and Light, the long history of systemic racism sparking nationwide protests is part of the climate crisis, too.
“We know that people with fewer resources and less power and who are more oppressed are going to be people deeply affected by climate,” Cornish said.…

Boy howdy it’s mighty white around here!
“one guy…one cop…”
Not even Stokes is that ignorant.
I have mentored both black and white young men from disadvantaged settings. All I did was treat them as my 7th grade immigrant father that always held two jobs treated me. Dignity and respect to all. No self pity. Work hard and do well. I would alternate fun days with work days and service to the community days. Good news is now after 20 years, both young men are doing well and out of the circle of destruction. I was blessed with two young men that would listen. Anyway……
I’m wondering how many of these protesters actually get out and vote. I vote. Yesterday I was hunted down to sign a petition because I’m on the voter roles and it’s known that my signature on a petition is valid.
Not Climate Change so much as Extreme Inequality caused by the Federal Reserve. In the 2008-2012 Recession, it took 29 Trillion dollars to bail out the Elite. Who knows how much this time. But Main Street will suffer more this time. Wall Street never loses.
“We know that people with fewer resources and less power and who are more oppressed…””

Well that partly describes what ending fossil fuels will do for the people. These riots will look like Sunday school picnics compared to the reaction if he gets his way.
If they mean a “political climate change” then yes.
Well darn. Turns out he had fentanyl in his system. So much for the outstanding citizen, innocent black man narrative. Now the story is drugged-out black man resists arrest, fights with police and has counterfeit money in possession. It’ll be interesting to find out if the story of his having to be removed from the police car is true. I guess I still haven’t seen an innocent man the victim of police brutality. STOP RESISTING!!! “Yes, sir” and “No, sir” and he’d still be alive.
From the article: “the long history of systemic racism”
What is systemic racism? Isn’t this just saying that all white people are racists? Isn’t it racist to think all white people are racist?
The white race is no more racist than any other race.
The lie the Democrats push is that all white people are racist. Even the white Democrats say the same thing. They are so ashamed of their whiteness.
I heard a Black civil rights leader on tv tonight say the two groups pushing this “all white people are racist” narrative are self-guilted white people, and affluent Blacks who have made it in the world (read Labron James), yet still try to sell the racist narrative that there is systemic racism in the U.S. caused by any and all white people.
It is a constant racism propagand barrage from the Left. They’ve been doing it for years. Lying to Black People is their Bread and Butter.
The riots in the US and now in Australia have nothing to do with George floyds death it is all about the Communist Democrats trying to create Mayhem, thinking this will help them in the November presidential elections and they are doing this because they have nothing else going for them and they know they’re going to lose big time.

These people have completely lost their minds. Bogus “systemic racism” has anything to do with climate???
Racists are the ones who view things only through that lens. They are the leftists, not the vast majority of the American people. Who really don’t think of things in racial terms. Martin Luther King (great man, in spite of his failings), would be just appalled.
Well of course the Cult of Calamitous Climate will claim Climate Change did it.
There is nothing Climate Change can’t do.
Also there is no low to which these same creatures will not stoop.
As for these riots..Oh sorry “Peaceful Protests”
What is the toll so far of brutally beaten and murdered citizens?
I noticed our putrid Media Party here in Canada fails to even mention this small detail as they laud the thugs and then launch into their Trump Derangement Schick.
Quite amazing how this “Saint of the Street” is killed at the hands of a Democrat controlled police force,in a Democrat controlled region with Democrat Majority control for near 50 years..but President Trump done it.
And in “Protesting” this mans demise,ignoring due process,rule of law and the court system,these hysterics are burning, looting,vandalizing property and killing people..But the media seems to maintain all these other casualties do not matter.
This is beyond sickening.
Inciting a riot is the kind of thing we need bounty money placed on the culprits heads.
Dead or Alive.
Second thoughts skip the alive,they have already confessed their malice.
One has to wonder,why does the media so desperately seek to reelect President Trump?
Is it a death wish?
To go with their death cult of calamitous Climate?
Well as someone who teaches martial arts and self-defense and with a 50 year familiarity in the practice of restraint and choking techniques. I’d have to say that the only reason to interfere with someones respiration for 5 minutes after they pass out is to make sure they are dead.
The cause of the riots isn’t so much that Mr Floyd died it’s that despite copious and clear evidence that a crime had been committed the authorities sat around with their thumbs up their arse for 4 days before effecting an arrest and laying charges. Something that should have been done the same day.
Don’t they know that Extinction Rebellion are a racist organisation? Look at any photograph of any of their ‘protests’ anywhere and what do you see? A bunch of white people.
What was it one of their founders said? Something like ‘ It’s not about climate, it’s white supremacy.’
“More Intersectional Than Thou”. Excellent.
Now someone encourage “Brianna Wu”han comment on the climate “crisis” a few hundred times, and the entire alarmist memeplex will become too vapid to remain stable at room temperature.
Linked? Weak tea, indeed, like almost every claim I’ve seen over the past 30 years about climate change.
LOL – the simulation we’re in just keeps getting weirder.
