Geo Friend-Lee - The Air Pollution Gap: Does Air Pollution have a Distinct Color? lyrics

What determines whether it is bad or good, To move a power plant into certain neighborhoods? Political influence? Income? Space? It would be a disgrace, If it was based on race, But after using, The 2000 census and NASA satellite data to get high resolution, of the U.S. pollution, The Plosone.org research article states, Even when income is put aside, If you are a minority, And New York, Pennsylvania, or Illinois is where you reside, You are more likely to inhale carbon dioxide, plus 38 percent higher levels of nitrogen oxide, When compared to people in the same state who are white, This Means, You may be at a higher risk of asthma, and heart disease, Both can affect your health and lead to d**h, Your race should not determine whether you must hold your breathe as you walk around your borough or town, So now, that we know, Of the environmental injustice that the University of Minnesota Study shows, minority racial groups are more exposed, to pollution, We already have the facts, The question is, What's the solution? To the national air pollution gap. -Geo Friend-Lee
