These quoted sections do not suggest that abstractions like climate change and racism manifest in specifically violent ways, usually against already marginalized people.

Instead, climate change and racism do open old wounds and debates about:

  • Institutionalized racism
    Ungodly greed
  • Lack of disaster-response preparedness
  • Biased thinking and lopsided planning
  • Neglected impoverishment.

How did Hurricane Katrina affect New Orleans' diversity?

The impact of Hurricane Katrina on black and low-income residents of New Orleans was devastating.

Most of the cities affected by Katrina were areas where poor black people resided.

Now, it is very difficult for most of them to return, not to talk about, rebuilding their flooded cities with sewage, electricity, police, and other city-life facilities.

Thus, the quoted sections suggest that climate change and racism do open old wounds and debates.
