Environmental Racism?
http://www.motherjones.com/environment/2008/10/qa-van-jones
Well, the only reason that we have the unsustainable accounting that we have right now is because incinerators, dumping grounds, and sacrifice zones were put where poor people live.
The civil rights movement took several decades. The women's rights movement took several decades. Other environmental movements are taking several decades.
You may have noticed there's this jackass in the White House that's not letting anything happen, whether you're talking about health care or getting out of the war or fixing the energy crisis or solving global warming or getting the economy to work. So right now nothing's happening.
You've got to put a price on carbon; that's got to be a top priority for the new administration.
That's going to be called "green-collar work" or "green work"—we're going to fight over the definition.

Van Jones in His Own Words

"And our Native American sisters and brothers who were pushed and bullied and mistreated and shoved into all the land we didn't want, where it was all hot and windy. Well, guess what? Renewable energy? Guess what, solar industry? Guess what wind industry? They now own and control 80 percent of the renewable energy resources. No more broken treaties. No more broken treaties. Give them the wealth! Give them the wealth! Give them the dignity. Give them the respect that they deserve. No justice on stolen land. We owe them a debt."
"What about our immigrant sisters and brothers? What about our immigrant sisters and brothers? What about people who come here from all around the world who we're willing to have out in the field, with poison being sprayed on them, poison being sprayed on them because we have the wrong agricultural system. And we're willing to poison them and poison the earth to put food on our table, but we don't want to give them rights and we don't want to give them dignity and we don't want to give them respect?"
"The white polluters and the white environmentalists are essentially steering poison into the people of color communities."

Van Jones: U.S. Green Czar
http://www.wnd.com/index.php?pageId=94771
"Jones was a founder and leader of the communist revolutionary organization Standing Together to Organize a Revolutionary Movement, or STORM. That organization had its roots in a grouping of black people organizing to protest the first Gulf War. STORM was formally founded in 1994, becoming one of the most influential and active radical groups in the San Francisco Bay area."
"Jones said he first became radicalized in the wake of the 1992 Rodney King riots, during which time he was arrested. 'I was a rowdy nationalist on April 28th, and then the verdicts came down on April 29th," he said. "By August, I was a communist.'"
