re: Not on my bingo card- Racist Bird Names

Are tits still going to be tits?

So, Paul McCartney will have to rename Blackbird I assume.

There are only 12k nword tits? When I was young it seemed like they used to grow everywhere.

And that name was pretty common, I don't think I ever heard anyone refer to them as anything other than what I am referring to them as.

Im serious When I was in middle school they used to grow along the fence of the playground and for some reason I remember this black kid like this girl in our class and he picked a few of them to give to her and then all the boys in our class started picking on him, the black boys started it and they were all like "ooooooooo ______ picked some nword tits to give to _________" Then we all started picking on him and he was telling everyone "I didn't pick them nword tits for her, they were for my momma".

This is no bullshite, this is just an example of how common it was.

I know times have changed, etc but thats why I find it hard to believe that a lot of this shite that is "racist" isn't coming from a majority of black people. For whatever reason it usually comes from a small group of people who took it upon themselves to decide that a name needs to be changed or whatever.

Its like a very small group, white and black people sit around brainstorming "what is the next thing we can claim is racist?"

The Red-bellied Woodpecker is an absolutely terrible name. ETA: I want just ONE person to put forth the effort to figure out why the above-mentioned bird is inappropriately named. I bet no one will.

I can’t tell if you are serious or not, but I’ll give you a serious answer. The red-bellied woodpecker has a completely white belly. There’s no red at all on his belly. I have one that regularly feeds at my feeder.

They’ll trot out the old bandaid excuse. You see, that bird’s feet are the color of flesh, but whose flesh? The white man’s! The colonizers’ flesh! You can’t just assign Caucasian flesh as the “norm,” or the default. We learned this from the libs when they got triggered over bandaids and panty hose.
