Didja know evergreen trees are racist?
Copied from an online news site:
"In Portland, local Ida B. Wells-Barnett High School is in a dilemma whether its choice of a new mascot, an Evergreen over its former Trojan mascot, would be racist, according to the Portland Tribune.
"Following the high school's adoption of a new namesake Ida B. Wells-Barnett High School, a committee of staff, students, and community members decide on a new mascot to accompany the new name over its former title as Woodrow Wilson High School. Ida B. Wilson was a civil rights activist and investigative journalist and a founding member of the NAACP.
"The committee proposed evergreens as the new mascot. But some are concerned the trees, when contrasted with the new namesake, suggest images of lynching."

Have they even looked at an Evergreen tree? (We call them Pine trees here.)
Anyway, if I was going to be lynched, I would prefer it to be in a Pine tree. Those suckers are so thick you could climb back up and untie the knot in the rope . . . not exactly the ideal "Hanging Tree".

White pine, Black walnut, Christmas tree, etal this could be good if it keeps them busy for two to four years.

Oh no... I hope when they harvest the Christmas tree they don't use twine to tie them up for delivery.
