Anonymous Coward User ID: 77086162 United States 08/13/2019 09:03 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | :thatsracist: Quoting: LoneStarRising While most Americans are spending time this summer enjoying the sun in the comfort of their houses’ yards, the New York Times is out with a new exposé on how lawn care is problematic, once viewed through the lens of social justice. Lawns are contributing to pollution and climate change, asserts narrator David Botti, and their origins are far from woke, in a seven-minute video on the history of American lawns. Botti says lawns are part of the “colonizing of America,” which transformed the landscape from “pristine wilderness” to “identical rows of manicured nature.” “These lawns come on the backs of slaves,” he continues, zooming in on a painting of George Washington in a field to highlight men cutting the grass with scythes. “It’s grueling, endless work.” “By the 1870s we also see American culture slowly start to embrace lawns for the privileged masses,” he states. The video explains that the perfect lawn is associated with being a model citizen, how the first sprinkler was invented in 1871, and about the advent of “so-called trade cards” that “advertised the hell out of lawn and garden products.” [link to www.breitbart.com (secure)] How about posting the nytimes article instead of the breitbart article. |

I see it every week in my neighborhood. Quoting: Professional Amateur I do my own lawn, fuck them. Exactly. Then without a job they're going to be on welfare. Great. And then you're a racist again. I'm probably flagged for doing my own lawn. Fuck me sideways. |

Next just owning a home will be seen as racist. Just being "Civil" is "Cultural Appropriation" of White Culture! How dare those Racists emulate our civility! Thank you Libtards for digressing Society back to caveman mentality! |
