Thank you for giving me the opportunity to share the scholarly literature that in fact links extractive industries including oil and gas to white supremacy.

4. From the book, "Anointed with Oil How Christianity and Crude Made Modern America" by Darren Dochuk
6. One note: this was in 2009 when oil use was still increasing this is no longer true.

7.(not scholarship but wanting to point out that Hiroko's original comment that everyone she interacts with is white and male has... some evidence) https://www.npr.org/2017/11/05/553969144/big-oil-has-a-diversity-problem
8. Turns out Chevron donates to lots of people NAACP gives an F to https://www.globalwitness.org/en/campaigns/oil-gas-and-mining/chevron-stop-funding-racism/
10. I'm going to stop here because it's beautiful outside and I still have to finish unpacking my home but the bias is that we're pretending that there aren't links to white supremacy and the oil industry. It is all over the place. And I went looking for narrow links.
11. When you understand the fingerprints of white supremacy you see how widespread it is. Cancer Alley, where Exxon has facilities, is very Black. The high concentration of polluting industries is not by accident https://www.thenation.com/article/archive/st-james-louisiana-plastic-petrochemicals-buy-out/
12. You can't disentangle the "resource curse," i.e. countries with lots of natural resources like oil and gas tend to have worse development outcomes than countries with fewer natural resources, from colonialism and thus white supremacy.
13. The war on terror was in part a war for oil And according to @DrAndrewThaler it's not just a thing codified in the past. We're gearing up to repeat the same harmful decisions. https://twitter.com/DrAndrewThaler/status/1327596688538820610?s=20
14. Let me repeat it one more time. Saying that there are links between the oil industry and white supremacy is not an opinion. It is a statement of fact. The bias is in pretending that it's an opinion.
15. And the reason Exxon can get away with saying its bias is because when it comes to race and the media it is easy to work the ref. Unless there's audio with the head of Exxon saying the n word, national, white led, media will continue to pretend not to see the racism.
16. How long did it take for them to say Trump was saying racist things? Exactly. /end
Addendum: This is the article that has them all atizzy. I mean if my organization was linked with a an org that creates pro-energy sites that spread misleading information... I would maybe not want to highlight it https://www.nytimes.com/2020/11/11/climate/fti-consulting.html
Another Addendum. I cannot. You cannot make this shit up https://twitter.com/mathsavage/status/1327613140633325568?s=20
