    So, you're telling us that "planting trees for racist reasons" is the same as "trees being racist".

    By your standards, that means if someone is hung for a racist reason, the rope itself is racist.

    What are you saying such a crazy thing, and why did you think you wouldn't get called out on it? Is it that you can't comprehend basic English, or are you being deliberately dishonest? If you'd like to use both excuses, everyone would believe you.

    Ropes aren't racist, but they can be used in a racist way. Trees aren't racist, but they can be used in a racist way. See the pattern here? You and your very dishonest source are the only ones claiming that racist trees exist.

    Sure, they're sentient, racist trees.

    I mean, everyone knows that's exactly the meaning of calling them "racist trees".

    They like to shamble around and at night, if you listen quietly, you can hear them whispering black crime statistics to each other.

    It looks like I'm not the one who has a basic English comprehension problem.

    That's exactly why your source made up the phrase, the ridiculousness of it. By lying about how some blacks were supposedly using a ridiculous phrase, they and you tried to dishonestly make those blacks look ridiculous.

    I was being charitable by assuming that maybe you simply couldn't parse basic English. But now, even after your error has been explained to you, you still defend it. That removes stupidity as a possible motivation, so we're left to conclude the attempted deception is deliberate on your part.

    You don't have to be entitled to something to take it

    Perhaps you don't realize it, but your premise that anyone believes an actual tree can exhibit racist tendencies of it's own volition is what's really embarrassing here.

    You're just trying to damage control your argument, and failing miserably at it.

    It's pretty obvious, btw, you might want to give it a rest.

    But it's your belief. That's the point. You're the only person around who was babbling about racist trees.

    When deep in a stupid liar hole, just stop digging.

    Also, consider finding a hobby besides tossing race cards. I know you'll miss it badly, but there's a whole world of other things out there you can talk about.

    Right because everyone knows "racist trees" means we're talking about trees that treat black people poorly. Shed their needles on them intentionally, sense when black people want to see something and block their view, lean to the side so golf balls can hit black people's houses.

    Happens ALL the time.

    It's easy to see how people might get confused.

    Glad you're here to clarify it for everyone.

    Oh look here's a racist tree now.
