Trees are 'racist' (school, abuse, states, schools)

Portland school fears ‘Evergreens’ mascot tied to lynching

Osborne said the committee’s idea of the evergreen “had nothing to do with the horrible history of lynching in the United States.”

“Lynching trees typically are not evergreens,” he added, saying deciduous trees with large, lower branches were typically used to hang Black people in the south.

I agree that deciduous branch structure is better suited to this unfortunate practice, but even so, connecting trees to lynching seems pedantic.

I walked past a poplar tree just a few minutes ago, and it called me a ****** worthless *******.

What kinda trees were used to lynch white people?

[Ultor]

LOL! Somebody should tell these people that shark jumping is racist... maybe that would end their foolishness.

A tree..... not even a tree that can be used for lynching, the branches are too flexible. What are they putting in that water out in a Portland?

I’m telling you, the day is soon dawning when all schools will be named numbers and maybe, must maybe, the mascots can be safe colors.

Yes, and I suggested the bold might happen soon in a now-deleted thread a couple of days ago.

I repeat . . .

Response: Opinion

If trees are racist then everything made out of wood is racist including houses and many tools.

This will lead to many homeless and unskilled labor enveloping our streets.


This is not going to turn out good.


Time to throw away my toothpicks.......................

These days with the people we have at the White House. it's much easier to ask what's not racist. lol

They've overused and abused the word 'racist' to the point it means nothing anymore. We're all racist...even trees and numbers and the air we breath. Even according to Kamalllla, Biden is racist.

Who cares anymore.
