Thread: Africanized Bee Attack

Respondents to CNN Article About ‘Africanized Bee Attack” Complain of Racism
Here we go again.

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.

Check your sources, you are really making a fool of yourself by posting this shit in World News.

Summit News - Media Bias/Fact Check

History
Launched in March 2019, Summit News is a far right conspiracy website. Like most questionable sources this website does not have an about page nor disclosure of ownership. The primary writer appears to be Paul Joseph Watson, who is a former editor for the conspiracy website Infowars. Although not disclosed, Paul Joseph Watson appears to be the owner and editor of this website. Further, Summit News has been banned on Facebook.

We only call them African because they are potentially deadly, and can attack you at any time. Nothing to do with color.

???

Many thanks for your peculiar care - who is "really making a fool of himself". I know that California is not the World. Or should it be in Africa News?

Could you please explain me how to check CNN? (wasn't it mentioned?) (sorry, I did not find it on RT)
Is it in anybody's possibility?


A swarm of nearly 40,000 bees attacked police responding to a single bee sting report
By Francisco Guzman and Saeed Ahmed, CNN

Updated 0228 GMT (1028 HKT) February 22, 2020

(CNN)They were responding to a report of a single bee sting. But their problem was about to get a whole lot worse.

A group of firefighters and police that were responding to a bee sting were attacked Thursday afternoon 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.

"I've been with the fire department 18 years now and responded to several bee incidents," Pasadena Fire Department Public Information Officer Lisa Derderian told CNN. "But never to this magnitude."

How "ceverly" from the Klondyke that he left it out in #1 when panhut could quote it in #8...

Anyway, how heart-breaking from my kind friends that they had taken their valuable time and forced their brain to investigate what's wrong. Surely not in vain...

You've still not got it.

The CNN original article did not have any respondents complaining about racial slur, that was something Paul Joseph Watson claimed in the Summit News article and that's exactly how internet troll like him works.
His message is that black people wants to restrict the normal use of the word Africanized and that they are overly sensitive and stupid.
In order to get that message out he piggy-backed those three lines onto the CNN article he copied.
People like you will read it and believe what he wrote because it is part of an otherwise informative article.
Don't you get any warning bells ringing when you read such bollox?

^ read this, Klondyke - maybe something will filter through and you'll ave an 'aha' moment . . . or just another 'damn, seen through again' moment

but he will continue to deny in the vain hope that at least one more dope will fall for his hateful propaganda.

Same m.o. as OhOh - continuously trying to obfuscate, deflect and go off on tangents to hide it

Klondyke is a lot like Barney Fife...

Presumably they're researching rank stupidity and using him as a provider?

Surely there are far too many like that on TD for them to be 'providers'

True, but a precious few provide so much that they have to be pros.

Good point
