We seeing in real time how corporations and elected officials have adjusted their language and strategies for addressing social justice issues. It's propaganda. And we're behind on educating ppl on how to analyze this messaging
The anti-Blackness we see with these corporations & politicians isn't just a part of their history it is something they are actively participating in right now. They are literally fighting to uphold the very system that is inextricably linked to racism
You don't care about your Black employees or customers when you exploit our labor, assist the state in its daily repressive activities in our communities, and contribute massively to climate change which disproportionately impacts us

I try to spend as much time outdoors away from the city as possible b/c it is scientifically proven to be good for our physical & mental well-being. Black folk have not only been dispossessed of land but we have also been systematically excluded from natural places #EarthDay2021 ImageImageImageImage
68% of Black folk live in nature-deprived areas. That means our communities "receive less of nature’s benefits, including air and water purification, climate mitigation, biodiversity and disease control, and opportunities for leisure and recreation."
Black folk are 75 percent more likely than others to live near facilities that produce hazardous waste #EarthDay2021
