New York Times: Lawns Are Symbols of Racism and Bad for Global Warming

The Lawn Jockeys were the first clue that this day would eventually come.

Lawn jockeys replaced the hitching post.

I guess that means that either owning a horse was a sign of racist privilege, or having friends who owned horses and needing a place to tie them up when visiting was a sign of racist privilege.

The NYT is infested with rodents posing as journalists.

There. Fixed. :)

It's ALL so confusing! *😳* I say if EVERYTHING is racist, then NOTHING is racist! (is that a racist thing to say????)

[sergeantdave]

Lawns were created by the British in the 17th century to stop Irish serfs from jumping out of the tall weeds and robbing noblemen.

The elitist nobles at the NYT should be careful about abolishing lawns.

I think Versailles set the standard for lawns and the wealthy in France and England wanted to mimic on their estate.

[morphing libertarian]

or are they all called gardens.

The Democrat/Left's "Utopia":

No green lawns
No air conditioning
No SUVs
No self-defense
No freedom of religion
No liberty without government permission

Botti says lawns are part of the “colonizing of America,” which transformed the landscape from “pristine wilderness” to “identical rows of manicured nature.”

This is old style 'commie talk'... the basis for "Little Boxes" by Pete Seeger ... 60's glorification of communism.

The black ink they use at the NYT is racess.

[Political Junkie Too]

But of course... If you say that nothing is racist, that proves you're a racist. If you say that everything is racist, you're a woke liberal who exemplifies social justice.

****😳****!!! I think you just blew my mind

[redcatcherb412]

Clunkers on blocks in the front yard be woke I guess then.

Thhis is so funny! I wonder what the Times would say about our green yards that are filled with native plants and trees, wildlife and bird song? I mean, we have a fairly naturalscape that looks kind of random and unkept. We are also a dsignated backyard wildlife sanctuary.

Got rid of front and back yard lawns, (small suburban plot). Put in flower beds. Much nicer and I don’t have to mow in the summer, yay !

[lonevoice]

I’m sure the Times would say you’re obviously a racist if you have a backyard. The oppressed people can’t afford to have a backyard, and you should give them yours.
