You would think this is a parody. I’m sure since I’m black the fact that I bought vanilla ice cream yesterday is due to my internalized white supremacy
Oh how could I forget, blacks aren't allowed to buy trees because all of us whites have a monopoly on them... OH WAIT WE DON'T! JUST BUY SOME TREES AND PLANT THEM YOU LAZY CUNTS!!!
It's worse than that. I read an article about how various foundations would go around trying to plant trees in cities for free, and black-owned houses were much more likely to refuse them permission. So it's not even about buying them, it's about just allowing them to be planted.
It then went on to try to blame it all on whites anyway, saying that there was mistrust because there originally were trees on the sidewalks, and the racist whites cut them all down so their helicopters could track criminals, but didn't provide any actual evidence that any of that was actually more than an urban myth, or whether that was really the motivation vs. controlling a tree blight or something, or whether it was perhaps a rational and justified policing strategy if it wasn't, nor did it explain what any of that has to do with not allowing people to re-plant the trees decades later.
It's almost like there are people determined not to hold certain preferred groups accountable for their own bad decisions. X shoots Y? X is bad. Y shoots X? Let's dig deep into Y's life and figure out how an X did them wrong and basically forced them into it. Ys have no agency, only Xs.
...how is this not a Bee article.

Trees require someone to care. (In most places. Around here, they just grow anywhere you don't cut them down)
Did... he just make the argument that white people have a natural right to nature over the pox?
