Planting trees at a golf course is racist..

They see the trees as an enduring symbol of racism and inequality – and they want them removed by the city of Palm Springs, which owns the golf course.

The tamarisks were originally planted in the early 1960s, as the Civil Rights Movement was gaining momentum around the country, to block off the historically black neighborhood from the affluent white patrons of the golf course on the other side.

If trees alone are racist, then it won't be any worse if a few nooses were put on them. They'll be the equivalent of "KEEP OUT, NO TRESPASSING" signs, since niggers can't read.
