The environmental racism cycle reminds me a lot of the cycle of poverty. A system created to keep those of low-income powerless. Groups of people being targeted through the environment because we are looked down at as second class citizens. From local to national to global one can see that all those who have or are falling in the cycle of environmental racism have something in common. We are victims of social discrimination because of the color of our skin, the jobs that we have, and the communities that we live in.
