NAACP claims an Elon Musk datacenter pollutes a historically black neighborhood in Memphis

I did not know the NAACP [National Association for the Advancement of Colored People] still exists! 😊

Propaganda and demagoguery apparently is a good business to be in for the NAACP! 😊 Is China, Russia, Iran or North Korea funding the NAACP?

What is this? A smear campaign or Blackmail?

How Elon Musk helps the NAACP to survive! 😊

"... Noting that the Colossus facility is located near South Memphis’ Boxtown neighborhood, which the letter described as a “historically Black community,” the NAACP said the location perpetuates “the trend of industries adding pollution to communities who do not cause the problem.” ..."

Apparently, the issue is not new:
"January, 1961, photo by Saul Brown. Boxtown residents James Threadford Jr. (front) and Albert Lee Wright (back) collect firewood on a horse-drawn cart. The juxtaposition of the $123 million plant and the men who must collect wood to cook for their families and heat their homes symbolizes the neglect of Boxtown." (Source)

Rosa Parks: Was It Planned And Staged?

A Seamstress Who Was Too Tired?

I have to admit I do not know her story and what followed in great detail. I was not raised in the USA. However, I find it quite peculiar that she is portrayed officially, publicly, by politicians and in the media as a simple, humble seamstress, who just was too tired after work to get up from her seat on that fateful day (e.g. Michael Moore’s letter at www.michaelmoore.com).

Affiliated With The NAACP

Following her death, I hear and read bits and pieces dispersed over different sources that contradict this neat picture. Is it true that she worked or was associated with the NAACP or similarly organizations long before she got on the bus? Is it true that she was trained or had attended civil rights education before that day? Is it true that the white man sitting behind her on a famous photography was actually identified as a newspaper reporter? Is it true that she was accompanied by a photographer?

Truth Over Hagiography

Of course, I do not mean at all to diminish her achievement or the struggle for civil rights. I have great respect for that, but I do mind not to mention that her action was possibly well planned and staged. Truth and honesty not fantasy or romanticism tend to further the human cause! Or what is wrong with the truth in this case? What is actually the ulterior motive behind that neat story?
