The link between slavery and climate change is undeniable, but it's a dumb one, and it's also a direct link from slavery to today's climate crisis. Check out this clip from a professor at Penn State University, who makes the case that slavery is the root cause of climate change, and that climate change will only be worse because of racism and anti-white scapegoating.

check out this clip here from now this wonderful wonderful the wonderful outlet now this now
00:00:16.720
they're making the connection between slavery and climate change that's right the real climate
00:00:21.600
change began began uh because of slavery here's here's a professor they're gonna make the case
00:00:27.680
listen to this one thing you have to realize about was that and only blacks were slaves ever right
00:00:33.040
yeah well duh of course one thing you have to realize about you know being enslaved is that
00:00:38.480
those communities were destroyed they were broken apart there is no future we're looking at climate
00:00:45.120
change and for me it feels the same kind of way they're going to be climate refugees there's going
00:00:51.520
to be all this disruption how slavery and climate crisis are linked to the time enslaved people
00:01:00.880
and at the same time it created the machinery for the industrial revolution which ultimately
00:01:07.040
is responsible for all the greenhouse gases that we have today oh my god
00:01:12.160
professor wait a minute whoa whoa whoa back up oh man hold up you're saying that the the
00:01:20.960
industrial revolution which clearly begun in england right and at the time they didn't have that many
00:01:25.520
slaves there guess what it was white kids in many regards that worked in these sweatshops and factories
00:01:30.880
and shit like that we went through that some of the stuff you see in india and asia these days we did
00:01:36.160
that a couple of generations back the whole fucking thing right i'm sorry but um yeah so now basically
00:01:41.120
but they're trying to make the case it was it was they took these slaves but but climate change but
00:01:45.840
wait a minute the the inherent contradiction here though because they said that didn't they make didn't
00:01:51.680
they used to make the case that uh it was actually the industrialization that like liberated in other
00:01:58.640
words we didn't need manual labor anymore right we had machines doing that so you they didn't have
00:02:05.120
to import as many slaves right one of the reasons why it also ended it was what we didn't impart into that
00:02:10.800
it was just it was too expensive and too difficult having slaves they started doing away with that
00:02:15.600
just like robots are going to replace a bunch of workers today exactly right right right but but
00:02:20.240
now you have to guilt rid uh the climate changes if you can attach racism and anti-white nights to it
00:02:25.920
maybe you will get more people to just give up whatever they have right guilt people just another
00:02:30.320
level to guilt and get more money because two three hundred years ago you see
00:02:34.720
gregory jenkins is a professor of meteorology and atmospheric science not a good one slavery too
00:02:41.680
i hope at penn state university he's gonna some history probably where he teaches courses called
00:02:49.520
climate change climate justice and frontline communities oh my this is jumbling all together
00:02:54.640
jenkins says exactly jenkins says the direct link from slavery to today's climate crisis is the industrial
00:03:01.040
revolution which he says is facilitated by slaves no they were literally like liberated and we didn't
00:03:08.000
need as much manual labor anymore that's what part of what what what ended it right understand that was
00:03:13.520
built on the backs and through the blood of people who were forced i mean they didn't come to the u.s
00:03:21.760
you know like give me give make me let me make my reservation it was like you're getting on the boat
00:03:27.040
added a bunch of white might survive you might not survive well yeah but your your own people sold
00:03:33.040
you out your own other african neighboring tribes that sold you out and you did have an opportunity
00:03:37.840
to go back home and by the way this has happened to white people too it's not a black people thing
00:03:43.920
they try to pretend that it's not but again this is the dumbness of trying to claim that it was like
00:03:49.360
wait a minute you africans did not build the machines that led to the industrialization it wasn't
00:03:55.120
built but it was like manual labor for a little bit and all groups were enslaved and it did not in
00:03:59.680
fact lead it led to liberation of on your part but you see that was bad too so now we have to give up
00:04:05.520
all industrialization any progress anything that makes our life slightly more comfortable today i'm
00:04:10.400
not super gung-ho on like mass consumerism and all that stuff too i'm saying there has to be some
00:04:14.640
you know middle of the road kind of thing here but the fact that they're trying to guilt rid and
00:04:18.880
associate our industrialization process at some kind of anti-black endeavor or just to like
00:04:25.920
enslave blacks or hold them down that's the reason why we invented machines this is it's
00:04:31.440
incredible incredible jenkins believes that we cannot ignore the link to slavery when talking about the
00:04:38.320
present climate crisis when these icebergs are melting slavery it's labor exactly that i can be
00:04:45.280
thinking about my grandkids 100 years from now and not thinking about my son or my daughter being
00:04:53.360
stopped by the police next week this is weave everything in the kitchen sink into this crap
00:05:00.240
there's no way we can push all of these policies forward without looking at the human condition
00:05:06.400
without looking at it through the lens of justice this guy's not very smart do you hear how he's just
00:05:11.440
jumbling all these words together just trying to sound like he's some uh intellectual
00:05:17.360
philosophical genius who's just blowing our mind right now yeah oh my god so the and it's always
00:05:24.640
disproportionately impacted if there's something and then the bipoc and blah blah it's basically just
00:05:30.880
anti-white that's all it is basically just give up give up uh bend over lay down do what we tell
