Are you disagreeing with the concept of environmental racism? I agree, it's not easy to address such long-standing, complex, and systemic issues. Trump's policies will only exacerbate those issue and make it more difficult to address.
I'm not sure how the trade-of narrative is inaccurate. Trump has been dismantling environmental protections. Minority communities are disproportionately impacted by environmental hazards.
If you want to talk about what's done at the local level, maybe we can do that another time. I was hoping to compare Biden's record to Trump's. As I understand, one of the reasons you didn't support Clinton and don't support Biden are because of policies that have negatively impacted the black community. I'm trying to understand how Trump's policies that negatively impact the black community fit in there.
The difference is that Biden wrote a law that was enacted. Trump has done no such thing.
The local level matters because the leadership in St. Louis, that you mentioned, is Democratic leadership.
And no, I am not disputing environmental racism. I stated it was important.
If you point me to an Executive Order Trump has done it might be helpful for a more 1:1 comparison. But a blanket Trump is dismantling environmental protections comparison to the crime bill Biden wrote is not quite the same.
And it isn't a trade off when you consider what can be done at a local level.
