Grab the nearest book, flip to page 117, the second sentence is your life in 2017.

“Thus racism and cultural genocide produce further environmental decline.”

Norgaard, Kari Marie, Ron Reed, and Carolina Van Horn. 2011. "A Continuing Legacy: Institutional Racism, Hunger, and Nutritional Justice on the Klamath."
