   Now the list of what qualifies as racist grows by the day. Gas stoves,   
   English grammar, mathematics, words like "master bedroom" and "field   
   office" — nuh-uh, can't say them. And now we add to that automobiles   
   and driving in general.    
      
   A new piece by Sammy Roth and the L.A. Times provides a window into the   
   insanity that is the modern liberal mind. The piece, titled "How White   
   and Affluent Drivers Are Polluting the Air Breathed by LA's People of   
   Color," says that Mr. Roth is wracked by guilt for how he's driving on   
   the 405 to the Valley, and it's not only growing his carbon footprint —   
   he's fueling other racist outcomes as well. He said, "I couldn't help   
   but consider my own complicity while reading a new study from USC   
   researchers." It found "that Angelinos who drive more tend to be   
   exposed to less air pollution, and Angelinos who drive less tend to be   
   exposed to more pollution."   
      
   Now, the argument is that low-income communities of color were torn   
   apart to make way for freeways over the decades, while the Whiter,   
   richer neighborhoods don't have to deal with the traffic or the   
   freeways. This, the left claims, constitutes environmental racism.   
      
   And who's to blame for the generational poverty that has plagued   
   minority neighborhoods in the United States? Liberals, of course, who   
   thought that they could replace the nuclear family with big government,   
   that's who. The fact is, their policies have failed Black America on   
   everything from crime to the economy to education. So now all they can   
   do is try to blame America itself. In the practice of racial grievance,   
   this has become its own subspecialty.
