Now animals victims of systematic racism
Woke Biologists Claim Now Even Wild Animals Are Suffering From the Effects of Systemic Racism? 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. 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.
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 aftereffects on where animals choose to live decades on. This pseudo-intellectual rubbish now only means that woke professors examined the work of other woke professors, found it ideologically acceptable, and slapped the authors on the back.
Actually published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, which the Daily Mail tells us is a peer-reviewed scientific journal, Inconceivable? Hardly. This business about wildlife suffering the effects of “systemic racism” coalesces neatly with the Left’s handwringing about racist trees with all the fashionable talk these days about the need to eradicate “systemic racism?
