“They’re essentially verbal statues for birds and the bird community, because these mostly white men were part of a really dark time in our history,” said Jordan Rutter, who is helping lead an initiative with co-founder Gabriel Foley and others in the birding community, called Bird Names for Birds. About 150 birds in North America are named for people, including Bachman’s sparrow. According to The CornellLab’s All About Birds page about the species, John James Audubon named the bird for Reverend John Bachman in 1834. According to Rutter, Bachman was a Lutheran pastor who promoted white supremacy. “Some folks have said that he was just part of the times — that was the era he was living in,” Rutter said. “I don’t think that is a reason to continue honoring him today.” Other birds have been named for slaveholders, and men who robbed the gravesites of Indigenous people.
“It is our opinion that the mostly white group of people, both on the committee and in the bird community, can not make a decision of what is considered too racist or racist enough for a name to be removed,” Rutter said. “It needs to be all of them.”

what the fuck Zig Forums. I'm a hobbyist soon to be semi professional bird photographer. I thought my hobby would be safe from these degenerates.

Are they just going out of their way to find obscure shit to bitch about now? No one other than bird watchers would even identify sparrows, much less Whomever's sparrow.

>these mostly white men were part of a really dark time in our history
Jews will never live down the Holodomor, the audacity of them to downplay it even today in comparison to the holocaust guilt industry is astounding. They literally starved to death millions of white Christians and think that even our bird names are fair game for historical revision
>pic related, Gareth Jones, murdered by jews for exposing their intentional genocide of Ukrainians in 1932
It doesn't matter. Whites are bird watchers because whites love nature and outdoor activities. We've already seen articles about national park attendance is too white, so the next round of attacks will be that whites should discouraged from camping, boating, and hiking because they're not making them inclusive safe spaces for blacks. And that we should fund getting blacks into nature.

>“It is our opinion that the mostly white group of people, both on the committee and in the bird community, can not make a decision of what is considered too racist or racist enough for a name to be removed,” Rutter said. “It needs to be all of them.” Basically because everyone back then was racist, all of it has to go. This extends to everything from white history. They are attempting to legitimise the rejection of white history entirely, and then dumb literal niggers like you come in trying to pacify everyone by stating "who gives a fuck". Well, fuck you, gorilla.

>changing bird names, that'll help the black community! >blacks: man fuck birds n shieetttt
I'd imagine birding to be the whitest hobby there is along with model trains. Watch them say Lionel was racist.

They just want you to do a shooting bro, pass some laws bro, just do it bro.

Oh also make sure everyone knows it was you like a sperg and don’t discreetly kill your enemies, that wouldn’t be smart.

How do they ever parse Lovecraft then, who was an overt racist and nigger-hater? They can't get over beyond unknown and obscure people from 200 years who named a bird no one cares about, but they all fucking love Lovecraft, they even make shit up like he changed in the 30s.
Oliver Hill
stamp collecting also be racist and shit
Mason Bell
The left is selective with their standards, and where there is money to be made will just change things to "spite" the racists that created it while still selling it.

>"People claim to feel "deeply unsafe" in the ornithology community because some prairie sparrow is named after a confederate no one has ever heard of.
>and they say white fragility is the problem..."
Do most bird watchers even care what a bird is named after? Like why would you even bother researching it?

I think its only a matter of time, most normies I know have never heard of Lovecraft. When black (((Twitter))) hears about how red pilled he was they will cancel him too.
Juan Murphy
They have the Lovecraft country show coming in a few weeks. And it's not like he hid his hatred of blacks and others, he should be prime cancel-fodder but he remains lauded. How do they justify that?
Hudson Reed
Niggers don't even like nature.
Xavier Fisher
I think its because he's still pretty unknown, niggers dont read books so only whites read his books
