Racist trees
One Portland high school is saddled with a dilemma over whether trees are racist.

Director Michelle DePass, the local Portland paper reported, said the tree mascot would invoke images of lynching.

“I’m wondering if there was any concern with the imagery here, in using a tree … as our mascot?” DePass pressed the committee tasked with finding a new mascot. “I think everyone comes with blind spots and I think that might’ve been a really big blind spot.”

The school’s principal, Filip Hristic, reportedly told the board he shared DePass’s concern that evergreen trees are racist.

Hard to hang someone from an evergreen I would imagine.

But to people who don't that, it could be very distressing lol.

Good thing there aren't any actual trees in Portland, or Oregon, because that could really trigger a meltdown.

RE: Racist trees
How many people died in racially motivated lynching's in the west? Now, if it's horse thieving that's a different story maybe.

RE: Racist trees
Uh oh, what will Stanford University do now that someone else has outwoke them? They'll have to get rid of their mascot because if you strain your mind hard enough, you might make some sort of circumstantial connection to trees and lynchings and racism...

These woke people need to go f*ck themselves with a tree trunk.

PS - I will be taking a brief respite from this bulletin board for a little while because I will be removing my racist trees from my yard. I have some Southern Pines in my back yard that, when the wind blows, make a whistling sound. I swear I heard one tree start whistling Dixie and the other saying "kill black people."

Stanford already changed their mascot once. They used to be the Indians.

Stanford and UMass were the first schools to change their names away from tribal images. Back in 1972.

And they both went from one racist mascot to a new one. Stanford now uses a racist tree and UMass went to gorillas, which everyone knows is somehow slang for black people (if you recall all the outrage of memes comparing Michelle Obama to one despite no outrage over comparing GW Bush to a chimp).
