Thus the Red-winged Black Bird becomes the Red-winged African-American Bird (to be in line with the NY Slimes and Washcompost style guides)
And we have to get rid of those Cardinals, as they were named after members of the Catholic Church hierarchy.
The insanity is spreading.
You beat me to this renaming. But thanks for posting the picture.
How about the black capped chickadee. Both racist and sexist.
...Huge CHUCKLE...
Pursued to its “woke” (warped) conclusion, shouldn’t every black American with a European family name be “decolonized” by being compelled to adopt a geographically suitable African family name?
And while we are about it, why not decolonize everything by stripping names off of everything? Strip every building, every bridge, airport, dam, street, etc. Branch out to city name, then counties, and states. A heck of lot of cultural appropriation in using Native American names in naming states and geographical features.
And the one thing we must avoid at all costs is using the name of any past or presently living human being because there is a possibility, however slight, that sometime in the past they may just possibly had and/or expressed an insensitive, unwoke thought. Perhaps even two.
Going back to birds. Don’t forget to decolonize their scientific names as well. This is because using Latin and Greek is very definitely a manifestation of White Supremacy.
And the Periodic Table!!! Don’t get me started.
The oft mentioned “Ooo Ooo Bird “
Change the language, change the culture, change the traditions, change the schools, change the science, change the values.
In other words, make it disappear.
We are off our rocker...
Socialists ruin everything they touch.
I hate them with the white-hot intensity of a thousand suns!
If we are so anxious to rewrite history, than let’s just say that the slavery never happened.
The Baltimore Oriole has to be renamed, because Lord Baltimore was an evil white male colonizer. Then the baseball team by that name has to change its name too.
Some people have way too much time on their hands.
To keep the sexually confused happy thst bird will be renamed the blue-footed chesty.
Thick billed? Couldn’t that be interpreted as making fun of black peoples’ lips? They need to find another name. /s
How about the Ku Klux Klan member - the distinguished Senator Byrd
from West Virginia.
This would be an opportunity for some fun if there’s a clever enough person in the society. Someone should demand that they only call birds by the names they give themselves.
