Cardinals are beautiful red birds. Cardinals are also mostly old white men in the Catholic hierarchy. So I guess we’ve got to rename cardinals.

Either the bird or the Catholic officials. I don’t think it matters which one.
My suggestion:

If the bird, call them blood birds.
If the Catholic officials, call them super-bishops.

Pretty simple, actually.

The AOS changed one bird’s name because it was named after a ornithologist that served the Confederacy. I can’t wait until the holier than thou racists get to hear the MLK,Jr. tapes and the world finds out who he really was and see if their holier than thou world can handle that.

So are birds going to get names like LaFawnDuh and DeQuanarius?

That should be fun.

As opposed to gay shops or straight shops, or perhaps transgender shops?

So are they going to erase Lewis and Clark?

Lewis’s Woodpecker and Clark’s Nutcracker are both named by (and for) these two iconic explorers.

It’s time for us to remove any name or thought associated with Commie thugs.

But have they changed the names of roads, buildings, bridges and hospitals named after a different kind of Byrd? Have they changed the names of all the infrastructures that were named after the longest serving Democrat in Congress, who was also a Grand Kleagle of the Klu Klux Klan?

So the “Robin” becomes the “Reparations”
The Blue-Footed Bobbie becomes the…

No, not going there.

It’s not those old tapes that could do MLK in.

MLK thought homosexuality was a mental disorder, and in his writings he advised gays to seek psychiatric help. If that ever became widespread public knowledge, would the LGBTQ crowd demand that all streets named after MLK be renamed?

Not a confederate.

The Scott’s Oriole, a black-and-yellow bird, was named after Winfield Scott, a Civil War general known for overseeing the forced relocation of Indigenous peoples in 1838 - which is now known as the Trail of Tears.

He was Chief of Staff of the US Army in 1861. Despite being a Virginia native, Scott stayed loyal to the Union when the Civil War broke out and served as an important adviser to President Abraham Lincoln during the opening stages of the war.

When at my favorite resort by the pool, and I am looking around ... and my wife asks what I am looking at ... I tell her Boobies and point to a bird. Technically, I am correct. Not for long I suppose.

It’s the real racists that see racism everywhere...even if it doesn’t exist. These people want to change the name of birds because someone who may have been involved in slavery named them? Is that what they are doing? First of all...leave the birds alone! Good gravy, because of YOUR beliefs, the rest of us have to go along with your stupid ideas and learn the new names of birds that YOU give them? No. Period.

These birdbrains need to leave the bird names alone and either get a job or go sit in a corner somewhere and ponder their navel lint and genitals.

I doubt they’ll say they are changing the name of the cardinals because cardinals are old white Catholics. They’ll probably blame it on the Cardinals being a lousy football team.
