An ultra-woke TikToker is being ripped online for declaring that having a nice grass lawn is racist.
“I can’t stop thinking about how grass lawns are racist and like, based in white supremacy,” user @softchaoschannel, who uses she/they pronouns and says her name is “JustJaim” on her profile, asserted in the head-turning video shared Monday.
“If that doesn’t make sense, that’s okay, I guess. It seems really obvious to me. It’s really upsetting – Bring back weeds, bring back clover yards.
“Can anything just be okay in its natural state, or do we just have to whitewash everything, make it a competition and use it as a sign of your worth as a human being in society? Like, can we just have weeds?”
The 38-second clip garnered nearly 42,000 views and widely circulated by stunned critics.
“I’ve never heard my lawn say an unkind word about anyone,” someone quipped under her TikTok.
“This lady is just venting ‘cause she got a letter from her HOA,” another person joked on X.
While many reacted with humor, others slammed the claims as ridiculous.
“Please stop doing this. You’re not helping,” one user remarked. Another asked: “Quick question – do you have anything better to do? Hobbies or a job?”
“I can’t stop thinking about how people can think about some of the dumbest things ever,” one man wrote on X.
JustJaim never explained what she meant — but leftists have long criticized well-kept lawns, according to the Sierra Club.
The environmental organization noted some believe lawns represent “racial exclusion” because many homeowners associations made rules for lawns also set racial covenants barring black families from buying homes during segregation.
“Their mental gymnastics skills are truly astounding,” someone wrote on X about the racist lawn trope.
JustJaim did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
