YES! MAGAZINE (June 18, 2020): “It’s About Terrorizing Us”: Environmental Racism Expert Draws Parallels With Police Brutality
Interview: Ingrid Waldron, Ph.D.
Associate Professor, Dalhousie University, Nova Scotia, Canada
Head of Environmental Noxiousness, Racial Inequities & Community Health Project (ENRICH)
"Emotionally and spiritually, we should focus on the body, on how policemen inflict harm on Black bodies. It’s about terrorizing us emotionally in a way that keeps us caged. When I think about environmental racism, I think about terrorizing."
"The killing of Black bodies is horrible. But telling Black people you don’t see it? That is
White terror. And if you don’t get it, you can continue profiting—in the case of environmental racism—keep benefiting. A lot of it is privilege. You have to start to share, you have to give up some of that privilege."
