Plants and factories were built in/near black communities because white people didn’t want them near their neighborhoods and black had/have no power.
They build where land is cheap and resources are available. Sometimes but not always that is adjacent to majority black neighborhoods. Refining companies are not targeting black neighborhoods. In fact Shell refinery in Norco comes to mind as a refinery adjacent to a white neighborhood.
