Why extreme heat endangers more people of color

1. "Low-Income communities of color may have difficulty accessing cooling centers as energy bills are increasing."

   WHAT? WTF? Those two things have nothing to do with each other. Why are they jammed together into one nonsense statement??

   I agree with the comment from TRAI FORSE about the lack of a simple explanation/translation — " Poor people tend to have less ACs"

   Some places, like New York State, offer up to 800 dollars to purchase and install fans or air conditioners for those that qualify. Why not mention that? Then, talk about how even paying the electric bill to run those AC units is problematic for low-income or POC.

2. Media- it’s always worse for minorities.America is just so unfair

3. This is the most racist bunch of bullshit I have seen in a while

4. BS BS BS NOBODY BELIEVES ANYTHING the MEDIA REPORTS NOTHING !

5. We all know you lie for money

6. How are we at risk when melanin reflects UV rays lol

7. Funny how they fail to mention their corpo friends and REMOVING TREES for 5G!

8. this is gross ignorance 🙁 there was more info on poor/wealth….. stop stirring the pot…. we all know whats in it and your the ones filling it!!!

9. "Poor people can get hotter than white people"

10. For our next news story, in winter it will be cold. Spring and fall will be short lived.

12. Me, a po ass white boy livin in a ACless apartment with a cheap ass fan from the dollar store, man guess I'm living life to the fullest out here.

13. Considering black people have the melanin to help withstand heat and sun, it's actually worse for non-blacks.

14. Well, it's comforting to know that their are zero "poor white people" who have to deal with that pesky racist sun of ours. I mean, "london bridges burning down, burning down, ..them and Ukraine" . in 'merica der ain't no po white foek!"

15. Heat waves are racist for making Ghettos hot on the POCs I guess.
    Oh well, what a sad life perspective thinking than even climate change is racist.

16. Democrats don't have absolutely anything to offer the American people, except for racism and bigotry!

17. Oh my God so that means if you drive a car and you pollute the earth you are racist

18. How damned stupid do they think we are? Reminds me of an old NYTimes headline… "World to be destroyed by meteor tomorrow. Women and people of color will be most affected!"

19. No matter the climate, they don't want to work out in it.

20. Hahahah I'm of color and i have a.c I don't think I'll die these year. Also I don't live in a urban city area. Who knew having extra melanin pigmentation in summer will kill me faster than my white neighbor…
    Thanx for the stereotypes though.

21. dang racists yellow sun DAMN THEE!…….amazing all those thousands of years to darken the skin pigmentation and now it's unsafe for them……..been around quite some time and don't recall ever seeing one sunburned.

22. Of course the weather is racist. I should have known.

23. Sure, it's generic. Mother Nature is RACIST!

24. FAKENEWS

25. Despite the economic downturn,I'm so happy☺️. I have been earning $ 60,200 returns from my $7,000 investment every 13days.

26. Sun its racist

27. Lol they are from Africa. This heat is in their DNA

28. I'm going to say this for the people of New Yorkers the Bronx queens and Brooklyn have the most of neighborhoods housing apartment especially that trees but very sad that is not a housing is not neighborhood you're living a skyscraper huge window and you don't have a backyard you don't have it on your you're not living over regular apartment or even like how is it like a first floor second floor third floor 4th floor or even 5th floor well tell you what sometimes that I what I'm saying this for telling you the truth is the truth but only that the people are lucky that I live in those areas they could sit down take a stairs go outside not wasting your money anyway and especially that to everyone let me tell you this did I tell you already that it is time that cut the power cord and it's time to get a free energy that you don't have to pay your electricity bill forever especially that when you going to move maybe that someone could give you a daughter of a free energy right there and transfer that where the company to another company of the states and you will get happier anyway that's the truth anyway everyone because I wanted to say this it could be very possible you know

    And you know what everyone let me say this again the Bronx is 100% lucky Queens is 100% lucky Brooklyn that I already know this so many of neighborhoods and housing and apartment including a lot of trees on it that would be much better but for many of you that New Yorkers that I live in a low Manhattan and ridiculous of something like a whale you spending of your money that a electricity bill for the company and that company going to get selfish and greedy and especially that to all of you right now I do love to say this for telling the truth

29. I see you guys are still wanting to drop viewership/ratings. Keep up the great work 👍

30. And I'm sure nobody of any other race lives in a city?

31. Most minorities live in Hotter Climates over whites. Whites people mainly in colder areas. Whoever wrote this crap needs a new job.

32. Seriously? Has anyone here ever been to Africa? No white people live in cities? Is everything race related? WTF is this world coming to when melanin is deciding breaking news these days. Everyday. 25/8.

33. Did you guys run out of stuff to write about? This is just false and you can’t make it make sense. The Middle East, Africa, South America, and Oceania are all places whose indigenous population are those of color and their civilizations have been there throughout time. The heat does not bother them or else their ancestors would have vacated those areas in search of more cooler climates. You guys are just trying to stir the pot.

34. Right, because people who live in cities or have cardiac issues being at greater risk in heat wouldn't make a compelling story, so how can we reframe this?

35. What bs is this. Black people do very well in the sun. It’s the cold they don’t do well in.

36. I love how the description tried so hard to be deceiving with the "due to the underlying systemic inequities", when the simple translation is: "Poor people tend to have less ACs."

    Knowing that researchers sometimes put out some BS 'discovery' like the ones you see in clickbait articles (pretty much this video) to keep their job, it's not surprising. I'm more concerned about the type of manager/director who greenlighted this.

37. BULLSHIT………..come on , there s way more important news , how's the border? How's inflation? War? This is wrong!

38. Oh crap , even the weather is racist.

39. So now the weather is racist too? F off.

40. Racist weather

41. ABC, how about you grow a set and unhide the Dislike numbers on this virtue signaling CRT trainwreck of a video. 13.3 Million subs, only 6K views, and only 70 thumbs up votes. You're getting ratio'd and you don't want the world to know it.

42. Didn't most black people come from…
    Hot AF Africa and hot AF tropical islands?

43. oooh god. I am so damn tired of this. so now what. The sun is racist? Heat is racist? boycott the sun?

44. This is stupid. They should just say “urban dwellers are more prone to heat dangers”
    And outside workers are more at risk.

45. Welcome to Joe Biden’s America
