    I hate clouds! I demand their removal! They're all white!

    Racist clouds! They need to be more like Seattle clouds where they have black clouds!

    ... White couple in Seattle illegally removes 150 maples to improve view ...
    ... white homeowner in Lake Tahoe illegally removes 10 old growth pines to improve view ...
    ... white couple in Bend cuts down 3 of neighbors trees to get better view ...

    Problem is they should have just cut down the trees and asked for permission later like white folks.

    If you're in the house at the end on the left - yes, your view IS blocked. Any house bordering the trees would have their view blocked. The article also mentions the chain link fence, and that is butt ugly.

    If they don't want them, then why don't they just go cut them down? They already have permission from the city.

    Go cut them down and remove the one green thing in the community.

    Who gives a ****?

    What are they complaining about anyway? Did someone say they can't take the trees down?

    Yeah, the beautiful views of a brown mountain dotted with drab outcroppings of stone.

    They are clear to take the trees down, so maybe they should just **** and go cut them down already.

    Just say'n this is hardly an end of the world thing like the OP is trying to make it. The OP is trying to paint this as black people gone bad when it's an issue that many homeowners face.
    It is a f**king troll thread.

    Yes. California and NY are the known leaders of segregation

    No. The 'stupidest statement" was "Now trees are racist."

    These kinds of posters represent the new racism that is being accepted and celebrated by Trump and his groupies.

    They're not realistic to you, because you don't want to do them. For those like my friends who escaped Cambodia after Pol Pot, and arrived as brown-skinned non-English speaking refugees with zero dollars, they were obvious choices to make in a land of opportunity. They did all those things and more .. including squeezing two or more families into tiny 2 bed apartments to save money. When they weren't out cleaning toilets for minimum wages, they were sitting with their kids to make sure homework and study got done. Those kids grew up to be doctors and lawyers.

    Oh it's a new racism because the old racism wasn't working out for you.

    Tell us more about the racism of blocking golf balls with big trees.

    Oh but this isn't the first time trees are blamed for racism. Remember that we were told that black families did not vacation in our national parks because all the trees reminded them of blacks being hung from said trees.

    Wait, your black? I could have sworn you had posted you were white in some earlier thread.

    Well that settles it; trees are inherently racist.

    no, i'm white, i'm just very annoyed by the complete lack of self awareness held by what seems like the vast majority of other white folks.

    like, you and i both know that most white people never really think about racial issues at all because we really don't have to that often.

    i want to abolish the distinction between work and non-work entirely. i want to open the paths for people to freely pursue their passions in jobs that can be fulfilled purely by people that genuinely want to do them and the rest automated away.

    don't act like the day we can actually do this is very far off either.

    I don't know if the tree line was intended to be racist. Lots of golf courses are surrounded by trees. In fact, the Augusta National is like a pine forest with a golf course in it.

    Plus, do we really need to cut down trees right now?

    National Parks do not have amenities, like McDonanalds, it is buggy, can be hot and humid which does a number on hair, and you can't find a 40 oz around every corner.

    What the ever-living fuq? Just admit it, you don't want to work for a living.
