Goodbye, kind world (George Monbiot) - In common with all those generations which have contemplated catastrophe, we appear to be incapable of understanding what confronts us.

Respondents to CNN Article About ‘Africanized Bee Attack” Complain of Racism

Respondents to a CNN article about a swarm of Africanized bees that attacked a group of firefighters and police complained that using the term ‘Africanized bees’ was racist.

Yes, really.

The Africanized honey bee is also known colloquially as the ‘killer bee’, but the former name is scientifically accurate.

The bee was introduced into Brazil in 1956 but subsequently spread throughout North America. Africanized honey bees can chase people for a quarter of a mile and have killed around 1,000 humans.

“A group of firefighters and police that were responding to a bee sting were attacked by a swarm of nearly 40,000 Africanized bees. Three of the first responders were rushed to the hospital, while the others quickly shut down the block,” CNN tweeted.

Woke respondents were soon on alert to claim that using the term ‘Africanized bees’ was a racial slur against black people.

“It’s 2020 and media still uses ‘Africanized’” wrote one.

“The use of the word “Africanized” perpetuates bias against African people and people of color. Please stop,” added another. -- The use of the word “Africanized” perpetuates bias against African people and people of color.

“So the "Africanized" bee is actually a hybrid of both African and European bees. But, "Europeanized" isn't as scary. Or let's just call them "killer bees". Some may not think this is a big deal, but this is an example of a microaggression that leads to implicit bias.“

“Kinda racist calling angry dangerous bees African bees….” asserted another respondent.

In fact, the entire thread was full of people angry at CNN for using the official scientific term for the bees.

Next time a BLACK panther mauls someone to death at a zoo or an AFRICAN elephant stampedes through a village, expect many people on Twitter to be on the lookout for racism.

eta: There were so many bees they swarmed an entire street for the length of a block in Pasadena, California.

It really does! It's hi-larious watching the Left implode. Even more enjoyable is when they turn on each other, as they're doing now to Chris Mathews, demanding his resignation for commenting that Bernie's win in Nevada is like Hitler conquering France in WWII.

I'll refer you to the SJW will eat itself thread I made quite a while back for more of that.

I really should be updating that thread. Might have to put more time into it than I care to do with all the imploding that Democrats are doing right now though.

Remember when an illiterate D.C. Councilwoman (yes, black) demanded that all others need to be as illiterate as she is? So she demanded the only literate person at the meeting be fired!

It's an Africanized bee but its also European-ized, its a crap result by crossbreeding of the East African lowland honey bee with various European honey bee subspecies such as the Italian honey bee....instead of making a more calm bee that would make more honey

They got a psycho bee that makes little honey and kills people and chases them for miles and miles stinging them until they die
