It’s worse than we thought. It’s bad enough that “peoples of color” are victims of racist math and racist bird names, but now we know they are also made to suffer from “tree inequity.”
It’s worse than we thought. It’s bad enough that “peoples of color” are victims of racist math and racist bird names, but now we know they are also made to suffer from “tree inequity.”
A research group called American Forests, in conjunction with the United States Forest Service, recently announced that peoples of color, living as many do in socioeconomically disadvantaged communities, often have fewer trees around them than do those residing in wealthier white communities. The group claims that trees are disproportionality planted in those wealthier and whiter neighborhoods and that this has “deprived many communities of color of the health and other benefits that sufficient tree cover can deliver.”
The USFS funds the utilization of a 100-point system to determine whether there are “enough” trees planted in a given neighborhood, known as the new Tree Equity Score.

Wouldn't it be easier to deforest white areas of the country?

Inequality is the result of being unequal
Education and positive attitude go a long way in curing being unequal

Trees are symbols of lynching. At least that’s what they say.

So, don’t just stand there whining;plant some trees. That’s how this works. So "plant" a tree, like planting cotton? s/

Those inner city people suffering should welcome the planting of Black Walnut trees among others.

Free trees are available. Plant some. Or does this take too much work?

Yep - but that's the nature of the money-begging tactics necessary today. Any govt budget request, grant proposal, etc., has to have gender, sexual orientation, or racism as a primary cause. If it is topped with the proven 'climate change' cherry, you become golden.

So what happened to the “trees are racist” issue?
Countdown to charges of racism to any tree planting program, a symbol of white supremacy and reminder of Democrats in hoods lynching blacks.
To: MtnClimber
Everyone should have their own tree.
