Cutting grass is racist, according to this white supremacy expert and feminist leader.“I can’t stop thinking about how grass lawns are racist and based in white supremacy. Like, why do we have these perfectly manicured green carpets in front of our houses? It’s like we’re trying to control nature, to dominate it, and make it look like this idealized, uniform, colonial aesthetic.“And then I think about how clover and weeds and natural yards are so much better for the environment, but people still cling to their grass because it’s what they’ve been told is ‘proper’ and ‘beautiful.’ It’s just another way that white supremacy shows up in our everyday lives, right?“Like, can anything just exist in its natural state without being whitewashed?”
