New in PJ Media:
One of the most diabolically clever notions the Left has ever devised in order to advance its Marxist agenda has been “systemic racism.” Systemic racism is everywhere and nowhere, requires no evidence of actual discrimination in order to make its case, and will result, if followed to its logical conclusion, in the implementation of an unlimited number of wealth confiscation and redistribution schemes. It’s so useful that “experts” keep finding it in more and more places, and absurdity is no bar for how low they will go. Their audience, after all, is Leftists, who are already accustomed to swallowing absurd claims on an industrial scale. And so the latest claim, that even wild animals are suffering from the effects of this all-pervasive malady, was just another day for the Left’s propaganda mill.
The UK’s Daily Mail reported Saturday that “scientists” — that is, the infallible high priests of the Left’s secular religion, never to be questioned or regarded with the slightest degree of skepticism — “claim that there are fewer wild animals in neighborhoods where mostly people of color live – and their absence is affecting residents’ mental health.” Violence among racial minorities? It was because there were no squirrels, Your Honor.
It seems that “a research study that looked into the genetic diversity of wildlife in neighborhoods across the United States found government rules that previously mandated separated neighborhoods based on race, is still having lingering after-effects on where animals choose to live decades on.” And inevitably, “the study suggests that areas where mostly white people live have a greater diversity when it come to animals living in the area.”
This pseudo-intellectual rubbish was actually published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, which the Daily Mail tells us is a “peer-reviewed scientific journal,” a designation that should mean something and perhaps once did, but now only means that woke professors examined the work of other woke professors, found it ideologically acceptable, and slapped the authors on the back.
As ridiculous as all this is, however, it should not be taken lightly. The study claims that “the practice of redlining essentially drove out woodland creatures from minority neighborhoods leading to negative effects on the mental and physical well-being of minority residents.” Redlining, a practice that was “most commonly used in the 20th century and was based on racial and ethnic discrimination,” involved “financial institutions, insurance companies, and other businesses” drawing “lines on a map to define areas where they will or will not provide services, such as mortgages, insurance, or loans.” That sort of thing has been illegal since 1968, when the Fair Housing Act was passed, but these Leftist academics have a clear goal in claiming that minorities and even wildlife are still suffering from the effects of this discrimination. That goal, of course, is radical and forcible resettlement of people in order to achieve “equity.”
There is more. Read the rest here.

When I was a kid, my father, a White sharecropper with many children…sharecroppers depend on their many kids to help them earn a spot on a farm with a farmer who wants his crops planted, cultivated and harvested…often went into the woods near our shack, and shot squirrels and rabbits for my mom to cook for us.
We sometimes had enough young roosters and old hens for Sunday dinner, but other nights, we might go meatless without the “wildlife.”
I now live in a *racially diverse* neighborhood and often see squirrels running up and down the trees in our yard and hear crows and other birds calling from the tops of those trees.
So these “experts” in racism and science, would say what about where I live?
Wild animals go where they can find food, water, and shelter from the elements.
That’s why wild bears are all over national parks….campers and tourists with food, lots of it on picnic tables and in unlocked cars are being very “racist.” Cause if they weren’t being “racist,” the bears would stay away.
We here all know that only Whites and those POC who have similar feelings of liking Freedom and are law-abiding, are the only people who are ever “racist.”

These squirrelly pseudo-scientists have gone completely nuts.

Beneath the veil of Consciousness -Agreed 🥜🌰🥜, definitely nuts!!

There’s no end to this Leftist rot and indulging Leftists rather than telling them they’re pathetic fools who only divide society rather than uniting it is a never-win approach. Mock these rubes as a first step in eventually ending this nonsense. A good place to start is absolutely refusing to go along with all the pronoun nonsense whereby people are expected to pick their own pronouns. Ignoring these idiots is not enough; it is necessary to take them on and tell them how full of you know what their ideas are. Otherwise, they will never stop destroying the chances for societal unity. They are unhappy creatures in their own life and they mean to make everyone unhappy.
Leftism is a mental disease. Approach it that way and take these clowns and jokers on.
Westman says
Wokism is not only a disease, it mutated from the, “wet behing the ears”, religion of, “Equity”.
The disease so hallucinates the mind that even white paint becomes, “racist”. The only cure is to hold a job to support someone besides yourself, clean your room, and learn what former generations did to raise your life above 40 acres and a mule.
Wild colored hair, enough metal to attract lightning, demanding free stuff, burning property, smash-and-grabbing, and wearing tattoos as clothing will only exacerbate the disease symptoms.

I agree with the comments up above. You couldn’t make this bullshit up because it is so bizarre. This particular load of crap does sound like one of those jokes that are released in the media on April Fools’ Day. As the tennis player, John McEnroe used to yell at umpires, “You cannot be serious”. Also, in the report about how fellow academics had patted the authors on the back for this nonsense study brought to mind that quote that is usually attributed to George Orwell about how some ideas are so stupid that only intellectuals will consider them worthwhile. Some of these academic wankers should be ashamed of the nonsense they come up with. The idea that they are actually paid to come up with such garbage is sickening. And, these days, everything is “racist” to some wankers’ bent and twisted minds.

This just proves that even animals don’t want to live in some of the drug infested areas of big cities.

Pretty silly, to say the least.
I grew up in suburbia with 1/4 acre lots, plenty of school yards and small parks and close to a large park. There were NO rabbits, deer or the like. Now, many years later there is an abundance of rabbits and, in the park, a few herds of deer. Needless to say there’s the odd skunk too. Squirrels and chipmunks abound.
Might have something to do with requiring dogs to be kept on leash today but not then. Ya think?
I’m reminded of something satirist Tom Lehrer, said in his song “Smut” back in the ’60s:
“When properly viewed
Everything is lewd.
I could tell you things about Peter Pan and the Wizard of Oz — there’s a dirty old man”.

“Democrats’ RADICAL white supremacy bill could end HORRIBLY”
‘ Democrat Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee recently introduced a new bill (the ‘Leading Against White Supremacy Act of 2023’) that is one of the ‘most unconstitutional and radical pieces of legislation proposed in I don’t know how many years,’ Glenn says

Not sure what this was going to be about. White rhinos giving black rhinos a had time maybe.

Are we going to have to pay Reparation Payments to black animals? My Scotty dog getting $5 million would really make her feel better about her ancestors slavery and hard life.
She now rules our house, just think what living with her with that kind of money of money will like.
Excuse me she want’s a egg for breakfast NOW.

OLD GUY -don’t you know all dogs are democrats, LOL! They eat and sleep while someone else makes money!

Maybe put these ‘anti-racists’ in a snake pit, filled w/ black snakes. They wouldn’t want any harm to befall those black snakes, would they? That would be doubly racist: first hating them b’cos they’re snakes, and then hating them b’cos they’re black!
