Why don’t ghetto blacks start planting trees? Or do white people have to do that for them as well?
I've seen instances where do-gooder groups plant trees or gardens in "urban" areas for the benefit of the local residents.

Guess what kind of people show up on some early Saturday morning to do the planting.

I find a lot of these articles about “systemic racism” to be bullshite, but in Milwaukee and Minneapolis for example the city planners back in the 60s 70s and 80s definitely didn’t care about (or weren’t provided with any finding for) beautifying areas that were pseudo-designated for minorities. Virtually no parks, virtually no trees, virtually no sidewalks

Do-gooders went door to door in Detroit trying to put free trees everywhere and got told to go frick themselves.

The feedback they got from the community was along the lines of “You didn’t ask us if we wanted them and acted like we were too dumb to know why they are good.”

Yah I remember that - it was provably handled the wrong way but don’t get me wrong I’m not saying “poor victims”.

You have to grovel and pander and grease their palms to get them to welcome help. Saw it first hand in Milwaukee. If you just show up to help they’ll cry “white saviour” or “gentrification” or accuse you of having ulterior motives

My point is that walking in and acting like you are the missionaries to a bunch of heathen savages is most likely to see you end up in a stewpot.

This is precisely what white liberals think they're doing, too.

I thought trees would remind the black folks about all the lynchings and would therefore be bad things... isn't that why door pulls and rope are illegal now?

When everything is racist, nothing is.

That’s what they are creating. Just roll your eyes and use their rules against them. Claim to be part Native American and watch them squirm. I do it all the time. I happen to be the great great great grandson of a full blood native so I can technically back it up but no one, and I mean no one, has ever challenged me on it.

Blacks were hung from trees.

We should get rid of all trees

Surprised, figured they'd say trees were racist because of all the hanging

This!



It is not far-fetched to consider this as the perfect “final solution”

There is unrest in the ghetto
There is trouble with the trees
For the gangsters want more gunfights
And the sheep just want more frees

So is a tree racist or am I racist for planting a tree? Is it the lat/long of my planting that is racist?

It is all so confusing.
