White People Harmful to the Environment???

According to an article on "Global Warming Could Spell Disaster for Blacks" the following statement was made: Relatively, Blacks are environmental Good Samaritans. Per capita, we (meaning blacks) emit approximately 20 percent less carbon dioxide than Whites – well below 2020 targets set by the U.S. Climate Stewardship Act. Not only do we use more energy-conserving public transportation, we spend considerably less per capita on energy-intensive material goods.
Where I live currently, there is no public transportation available for me to use. I would use it if I could, but rural areas rarely have that service.
Living in the South most of my life, I have heard a lot of black/white issues, but this one tops the list as absurd. EVERYONE will be affected by global warming in a negative way. EVERYONE needs to make an effort to keep pollution down. Why does EVERYTHING have to be a black/white issue?
I got this article off of BET.com; whichmakes sence that it is biased. That brings up another question I have; why now do we not have White Entertainment channels, magazines or websites?
