@gutenberg_org Jane Goodall was a racist colonizer who believed in the Great Replacement theory. Here is her going off about how we need to keep poor Black populations down, because they don't deserve land:

And she supported the occupation of Palestine:

She doesn't deserve her own day. She's just another settler.

@domo "Heroes" are overrated , we can still celebrate the good she did , while criticising the not-so-good. Same as with all "heroes". @gutenberg_org

@hakona @gutenberg_org She supported apartheid... and wanted to control Black people's populations in favor of her and her white friends owning land. She consistently spoke over actual Black scientists, including Black women scientists and never elevated them. She didn't even have a degree. Her methods were criticized for creating war like conditions among the apes she studied. She was in that racist ass cartoon the wild thornberries...

You're totally free to idolize racists and uphold colonialism, but I don't have to listen to it.

@gutenberg_org I saw her speak twice which was an honour
@gutenberg_org I had no idea. I’m listening to her audiobook rn. The Book of Hope. With Douglas Abrams. It’s an oddly soothing listen. #bookstodon #JaneGoodall
