And those communities should be defended from mining.

What doesn't at all make sense is trying to create equality by fucking up all poor communities equally across race.

You're trying to fight the good fight, but you're doing it as ass-backward as you can manage.

You should go join one of the organizations that fight mining in impoverished areas, or groups that are fighting against mining special interests by trying to force them to extract resources using better techniques while holding them responsible for the environmental damage they create.

The reason people are against this is because in the current state the US doesn't penalize corporations for their bad mining practices - it actually heavily rewards them. So nobody wants them.
