A Nation Primed To See Racism In Everything Will Think Only About Race
April 9, 2021
One high school in Oregon postponed a vote last week on whether to change its mascot from the Trojan to the Evergreens over concerns the imagery of lush timber was racist.
Ida B. Wells-Barnett High School, named after the prominent black activist and journalist who documented lynching in the post-Civil War era, was considering a mascot change to adopt a symbol more representative of its connection to the community. Board members complained, however, that evergreen trees would conjure up imagery invoking the brutal execution of African-Americans.

We live in a world where the Left can conjure up a way to deem pretty much anything racist, from arguing people discriminate against black pets and that various food brand logos are racist, to lamenting the alleged racism in technology and traffic lights. In Portland, Oregon, progressives have gotten really creative in their
things-considered-racist category.
evergreen tree mascot has been delayed over racism concerns.
How on earth is the Left making that leap? Because of its connotations of lynching. Bonus points if you saw that coming.
After adopting a new namesake earlier this year, the Southwest Portland high school also wants to ditch its Trojan mascot. A committee comprised of students, staff and community members suggested the evergreens as the school s new mascot.
