The Post ran an expansive report on Thursday, titled "The racist legacy many birds carry," focused on the "birding community," which apparently is having a difficult debate "about the names of species connected to enslavers, supremacists and grave robbers."

"Corina Newsome is a Black ornithologist, as rare as some of the birds she studies," Post environmental justice reporter Darryl Fears began his piece, noting she was hired to "break down barriers" at the Georgia Audubon nature preserve.

The real issue of our time is the grotesque stupidity of the mass media.

Democracy dies in stupidity.

These people are mentally ill.

They see EVERYTHING through a prism of race, because Racism as PRACTICED by them is the secret sauce to Leftism.

Shall we just get “marginalized people of color” to rewrite all the names, places, songs, books, etc? Would woketards then STFU?

No, they would not.

And then there's the trees. For example, Black Oak (Quercus Nigra) and Black Willow (Salix Nigra)

No, no bird carries any racist legacy. Insane rantings of racist people should be ignored.

When there is no significant white racism and all levels of society are afraid of black people
This is the kind of nonsense race kooks spend their time on.

Along with race riots a hundred years ago in no where’s vill.

but.. he is fine being called “african American” I bet.. even though African have enslaved other Africans for 10’s of thousands of years!

Does he mind using Arabic Numerals? Because the arabs were the main drivers of the world slave trade? And to this day still enslave Afrians and those from SE Asia

I could go on and on, every society in the entire history of mankind enslaved people, of every color and nationality.. until the WHITE EUROPEANS fought to stop it.

PERIOD.

END OF STORY.

I find it amazing that in an era of stupendous scientific achievement in which we are flying helicopters on Mars, something so stupid as critical race theory can thrive.

There is rampant systemic racism in ant colonies. There shou,d be a law or something to prevent it. Also federal funds should be handed out to study it further
