Turns out the NAACP has an “environmental and climate justice” program. No, really, stop right there and realize what I just said.
An organization that claims heroes of the civil rights movement like Thurgood Marshall and Martin Luther King Jr. has now moved on to the canard of global warming. So in a strange way, we really should congratulate them for their success. They have apparently vanquished so much real racial injustice that they can now move on to fake racism like “climate justice.”
Except while getting all woke, the NAACP slept through the following:
- In 2014, black Americans were 34 percent of the American prison population, despite being roughly 13 percent of the overall population.
- In 2012, black males committed almost 1,000 more murders than their white counterparts, despite amounting to just one-fifth of the total population of white males.
- CNN’s Don Lemon said in 2013 that more than 72 percent of children in the black community are born out of wedlock.
- On average, black 12th-grade students read at the same level as white eighth-grade students. Only 14 percent of black eighth graders score at or above the proficient level.
- Even though the black unemployment rate has fallen to record lows, the white unemployment rate is still only 54 percent of the black rate.
- According to the Guttmacher Institute, black women are more than five times as likely as white women to kill their unborn children.
