How people of color are targeted in sacrifice zones (Photo credit: wisepig/Flickr)
A slew of enormous petrochemical facilities shape the skyline and pollute the environment along the Mississippi River corridor.
The Black Lives Matter movement and the COVID-19 pandemic have highlighted how systemic racism disproportionately places danger and harm on low-income and minority populations. One harsh reality of this systemic racism is the existence of sacrifice zones, which are communities located near pollution hot spots that have been permanently impaired by intensive and concentrated industrial activity, such as factories, chemical plants, power plants, oil and gas refineries, landfills and factory farms.
That doesn t make Crystal Palace s winner four minutes later any less funny though.

Following several enquiries by Manchester United, Real Madrid have indicated that their centre-back Raphael Varane could be available. His contract with Real runs out next year and the player’s agent has told the Spanish club that he is unlikely to accept a new deal. That means Real have just over 12 months to make money from a transfer otherwise Varane will leave for free. Real have even offered him the captaincy as part of the deal after a glittering 10-year career at the Bernabeu. January’s accounts revealed that Real have debts of £850million and the club still want to sign Paris St-Germain dynamo Kylian Mbappe. Varane is 28 years-of-age in April and United want him to partner Harry Maguire in a dual centre back role. I have also learned that United Vice-Chairman Ed Woodward had an informal breakfast with Real Madrid president Florentine Perez a few months ago and Varane joining United was discussed.
They were the elected officials who approved, by a 5-2 vote, Mesaâs new non-discrimination ordinance.
After two hours of public comments Monday â with supporters arguing it protected groups from discrimination and attackers contending it puts women and children at risk â Council had its chance to comment on the NDO, arguably the most controversial issue it has tackled in years.
Mayor John Giles said he appreciated the extensive comments, then he shot down one of the main complaints by those opposed.
