Kamala Harris "Hurricane relief will be based on equity and given to communties of color"

Harris was speaking with actress Priyanka Chopra Jonas on Sept. 30 before the Democratic National Committee's Women's Leadership Forum in Washington, D.C. She paused to listen as Chopra Jonas spent a minute and 12 seconds asking a winding series of questions about Hurricane Ian relief efforts, the Biden administration’s climate efforts in the U.S. and the global implications of climate change.


Can you talk just a little bit about the relief efforts, obviously, of Hurricane Ian and what the administration has been doing to address the climate crisis in the states?" Chopra Jonas asked Harris.

Before Harris could answer, Chopra Jonas added a follow-up question: "We consider the global implications of emissions. The poorest countries are affected the most, they contribute the least and are affected the most. So how should voters in the U.S. feel about the administration’s long-term goals when it comes to being an international influencer on this topic?"

Harris responded first by touting the $369 billion in funding in the Inflation Reduction Act "dedicated to addressing the climate crisis," which she said is a crisis "evidenced by Ian, by the wildfires happening in California, the floods, the hurricanes."

Harris said she thought about climate policy "in terms of the human toll."

"I know we are all thinking about the families in Florida, in Puerto Rico with (Hurricane) Fiona, and what we need to do to help them in terms of an immediate response and aid, but also what we need to do to help restore communities, and build communities back up in a way that they can be resilient, not to mention adapt to these extreme weather conditions, which are part of the future." (Dumb bitch confused Fiona and Ian)

Harris then addressed Chopra Jones’ "point about disparities." She described an environmental justice unit she started when she was San Francisco district attorney that focused on "the disparities issue you have described, rightly." She said "it is our lowest-income communities and communities of color that are most impacted by these extreme conditions, and impacted by issues that are not of their own making."

"So, we have to address this in a way that is about giving resources based on equity, understanding that we fight for equality, but we also need to fight for equity, understanding that not everybody starts out at the same place."

Are you fucking retarded right now?
You just shot yourself in the ass. The entire second half of that response was in regards to climate change mitigation...and that's what was captured in that out of context video you began this bogus thread with

You're horrified by this

"based on equity"?

Equity means EQUAL you retard.

WHAT?

"equity" means EQUAL you fucking retard. You don't ignore certain populations based on skin color
Not it doesn't you fucking idiot Kamala said that herself too they are two different things

understanding that we fight for equality, but we also need to fight for equity, understanding that not everybody starts out at the same place."
 
Right here retard

"understanding that we fight for equality, but we also need to fight for equity, understanding that not everybody starts out at the same place."
So if you have one community that is slightly impacted and another that's severely impacted...equity means that the severely impacted area gets more support.

"equal" in that sense means they get the same resources even though the need is not the same.

And she specifically noted that in many cases (like for instance the north ward of NO) the effects are felt more by people of color.

Glad I could help you understand

And again...that was not specifically about Ian...it was in response to a question ABOUT climate change and equity posed by the interviewer

So a hurricane hits poor people worse than white people? Hurricanes are racist too? God damn you're dumb

She's just making up another excuse to give money to communities of color and you know it

Climate change is a scam and shit like this is proof

And nothing in PolitiFact is a lie.
