Big Lawns: Bad For The Environment And Racist

The blacks and Mexicans in my hood have the worst lawns and landscaping.

The nicest lawn in my neighborhood is by far a black guy's if you can catch a glimpse of it between all the fat rides he parks on the street in front of it. Being a retired NBA player has its privilege.

This is some woke sh*t for a Friday. Twitter is the best. Check that privilege. Being a city person I've never actually had a lawn. Homes are the biggest purchase most people make in their lifetimes. They (usually) fight hard to keep up their property values vis a vis treatment of their lawns.

Front lawns are catastrophic environmentally yet are prized as a symbol of the white racist suburban dream. This is about a larger issue—who gets to determine how space is used? How are laws that control how space can be used a means of forcing white norms onto nonwhite ppl?

The way white ppl obsessively control suburban lawns is indicative of the white conception of property & the white psyche's compulsion to establish complete dominion over "property"—while using laws to punish non-white ppl who build gardens on or refuse to manicure their lawns.

Some people like sitting on their front porch, looking over a big set back lawn space, shaded with large oaks and assorted Crepe Myrtles, Gardenias, Camellias, and Azaleas, watching squirrels scurry and birds bathing, while eating breakfast. I guess some people like sitting in a second floor apartment building over looking a busy street with the noise and smell of City-life, the hustle and bustle of Commerce, the very intense and serious people as they 'get to work on time', while they eat their breakfast with a similar fast-paced intensity. Large Lawn/Asphalt, Concrete, Glass, and Marble facade ... not sure which is better for the environment.
 
lawns don't work well in Florida unless iy's St Augustine grass -which is really a crabgrass.
It's much better to use indigenous plants - but most HOAs won't allow them

Yes, they are. The trend in STL and its older suburbs the last few years before we left was to loosen up on those ordinances regarding personal property/yards. People are allowed to have a wildflower garden instead of grass, to keep chickens in some municipalities, and to keep bees as well.
 
Repeat this over and over and soon it will be on Fox News and then there will be a backlash of Trumptards
fighting a political war against the attack that never existed. We need a catchy short dumb as dirt ear worm
the Trumplings in Jebusland will latch onto. How about "Lawn heritage" no too many syllables in word 2. Uh "Green grass and high tides forever"
"Get off my lawn!" There. Oh lastly we need to define the enemy with a broad brush. The usual? Yes. Black people.

I do not know who "Muqing M. Zhang" is, and have never heard of his Twitter.
What he wrote obviously sounds stupid.

If you are genuinely interested in reading stupid-racist stuff, just patrol this board for a while. I never cease to be amazed at how many conservatives here are overt racist swine.

As to lawns, we live in a desert. It is just stupid and wasteful to try to import the Midwest and have a big ass green lawn. In Tucson, we did not have a single blade of grass, but we had rock gardens and desert landscaping...and it looked freakin' awesome!

We are on the verge of a point-of-no-return climate change paradigm, in which our droughts will get worse, heat waves more persistent, and precipitation patterns altered and more unreliable. Big ass green lawns just ain't gonna cut it anymore, jack!

You've been saying the same thing for over a decade. How big is this verge?

Look it up, dumbass, we've been in the warm phase of the AMO for the last 30 years. Are you ready for the cool phase? LOL can't wait to see what you guys do with the data.
 
Cypress, you keep repeating the disproven "increased hurricanes, tornadoes, etc.." meme
The correlation fell apart. Please cite the current data to back up your claims. You never do your homework and you're running on outdated beliefs. Update your knowledge, oh sciencey one
