How sad. The NAACOP was once a respected organization but now seems to be just trying to out-radical the BLM. This is pure political hogwash. Today's NAACOP is a lot like today's FBI, a sad shadow of what they used to be. Today the abbreviation NAACOP shoul dstand for National Association for the Advancement of Crooked Politics.

Little Bobbie, you seem to be hitting the Old Crow way too much (and its founder was a guy actually named James Crow). Your fantasy timeline would have Jim Crow ending 8 years ago and that is just wacky. What actually happened was that in the late 1960s, we had Affirmative Action come to the fore. Jim Crow was dead and buried. Everybody of working age today came up under Affirmarive Action or its successors, which tilted the playing field the opposite direction.

But that is just a dodge of yours to deflect and has nothing to do with the fact that Herbert Marcuse, the former chief ideologue of the German Communist Party, who invented Critical Theory, and the group of openly Marxist law professors who expanded it to Critical Race Theory, were ALL white. You are the one who is flat out wrong.

Maybe the enviromental extremists justify in their own minds the slaughter of millions of birds and bats by wind turbines on the basis that it reduces CO2 when those creatures are no longer living to exhale CO2 as part of their breath, but their mass destruciion of trees would seem to go against their stated obsession with eliminates CO2.

Trees absorb CO2 from the atmosphere as part of the photosynthesis process and release Oxygen. Clearcutting forests to build wind farms and solar farms means those treeing are no longer removing CO2 from the atmosphere. 13 million trees, ust on public land in Scotland is a lot of CO2 that is no longer being remvoed from the atmosphere. It would be interesting to calculate worldwide how much CO2 the push for "green energy" has left in the atmosphere by their assault on our forests. The clear cutting of forests in the Amaxon for balsa wood to make wind turbine blades also contributes to more CO2.

Then there is another issue with deforestation. That increases runoff from major storms and therefore flooding. The huge floods in Germany a year or so ago came from deforestation for wind turbines, although the eco-zealots tried to blame it on "climate change"

The left constantly tries to claim that anything that does not fit their narrative is a "conspiracy theory". Those scientists who continue to advocate long held climate theories that predate the global warming fad are NOT "conspiracy theorists. They are backing theories that fit the data much better than the CO2 global warming theory.

Yes, there are both consipracy theories and coincidence theories that are bouncing off the wall, but we saw with the recent Durham report that much of what the left has been falsely denouncing as "conspiracy theories" has, in fact, been true all along. We have also seen with Covid that much of what those following the leftwing narrative have been denonucing as "conspiracy theories have turned out to in fact have been true all along.

Apologies, from hS biology think genotype and phenotype. Start by learning what these two words mean and how they apply.

This is NOT your woke far left echo chamber where the narrative is deemed "the truth".

The science of gender is biology, not psychiatry, Little Bobbie.
