    I hear him and I agree to an extent. I believe it is more of a financial class issue than a race issue. Speaking as a lower middle class white woman who lives in the deep south. We delt with factories and pollution all our life. Pollution so heavy it would leave a black film on your car and house siding. And yes I have asthma and my daddy died with lung cancer. I agree it needs to change but poor people can't seem to afford blue skies and that's how alot of people see it.

    No to the pipeline.

      At least he’s supporting the voices of people in his state that has demonstrated he really cares about, albeit from a position of perceived hypocrisy. Say what you want about gore, he’s not a racist greedy douchebag like most of the current day politicians in TN.
