What do you have to say about this, Fly? :-)
Blacks like bird watching-on the rotisserie!
Yes, because we all know that any “person of color” who tries to become a bird watcher will be lynched.
It’s the same argument the left uses against the Tea Party. Most blacks won’t support the Tea Party, therefore the Tea Party is racist.
How do we know it’s racist? Because most blacks refuse to support it.
This is an example of what my lefty college professor ex(thankfully)-girlfriend used to call “Critical Thinking,” a skill that apparently could only be taught by going to college and sucking up the left-wing curriculum.
Black people are very happy with their own interests such as basketball. Should we try to pull them out of basketball and bring them into bird-watching? I mean, these poor guys can only be at so many places at one time!
The author needs to look again, it's Orion magazine, not the Onion.
I subscribed to NG for about 15 years but got sick of the leftist garbage and dumped them in the mid-90s. I see they still haven’t grown up.

Bird watching is an inherited trait in our family. My mother could spot a nest and identify any bird from a mile away. My children (whom she never met) are avid birders.
So, yes, genetics, the love of nature, observation about our surroundings and the creatures who share this earth with us have deep roots. Some might call it intellectual curiosity.
How is it that a bird with a yellow beak is a different species than the same bird with a red beak but all people are the same species regardless of our many observable differences?
LBJ and the welfare programs have been the greatest impediment ever devised to black people achieving true freedom and success. Their slavery to the Democrat Party continues today.
Yea, we a bird watching racial diversity department funded with millions of taxpayer dollars to increase the number of minority bird watcher. If that fails, they can start a campaign to demonize bird watching as a racist activity.

"Blackbirding" was the catchall name for the slave trade in the South Pacific. The unrelated term "birding" might have the same effect as hearing the term "niggerish".
I have met some bird watchers. It is my impression that bird watchers are people with above average intelligence. I cannot prove it, but that is my impression.
I know that camping is so I am not surprised to learn that bird watching is as well.
I mean really, is there anything that isn’t racist?
Evil, racist, white bastards should all be shot!
It’s odd how any group that is overly represented by whites is called racist - while if the group is overly represented by blacks, it is not racist. Such as: the NBA, the NFL, Boxing, etc.
Why cannot the government investigate the inequality of opportunity for short white folks in the NBA?
Bird watching is a CHOICE.
Very surprised there aren’t more Asians doing this, it seems like an Asian thing to do, all quite and serene, appreciating nature.
Load up the buses, force these folks into nature, whether they like it or not!
