Morons.

They don’t realize that they very ACT of bird identification is “human colonization” tactics.

Those men first discovered and identified those breeds - on their own - doing their own research and trying to spread the knowledge of the world and science.

To remove them now for this years version of wrong think is stupid and bigoted, closed minded and “socializes” knowledge that was earned by others.

Slavery was banned in England in 1833-34, Parliament passage and Royal Assent.

Though Darwin return in 1836, he left on the Beagle in 1831. Slavery was legal. Darwin and evolution are thus canceled. It was only a theory anyway. Besides, Darwin believed whites, particularly white Europeans, superior due to evolution.

The yellow rump warblers are probably targeted for a name change. There has to be at least one liberal who will call that name a racist slur against Asian people.

Offend a progressive: name something after a white person, a battle white people won, or stuff like that there.

If I ever build that boat I’m calling her San Jacinto.

Going to RE-name birds a different name than the INDIVDUALS who DISCOVERED them, because of the discoverer’s political stands or affiliations?

That is PAST idiotic. The PEOPLE who discovered the species, and named it or had it named for the people who first discovered it, have the prerogative of the Naming.

Just incredible crazy thought processes going on for the sake of vague -anti-cultural goals. Rewrite history as WHAT? Something these contemporary morons want to name for themselves-— who DID NOTHING except biotch about it as a basis for removal? Beyond any rational thought.

I want New York, named after the Duke of York, later King James II, founder of the Royal African Company renamed. City and State. Shouldn’t be named after England’s largest slave trader.
