Director of the Sierra Club apologizes for Club's founder having some raaaacist friends in 1892

With all the unbelievable crap that's been happening for the past two months or so--things no one would have believe as recently as March--you might think we've reached peak-insanity.  If you don't, here's another data point:

The Sierra Club was founded in 1892 as a conservation group.  In the 1970s it began morphing into an anti-capitalism, anti-free-market, quasi-Marxist organization.

For the last decade the club's executive director has been a goofy sumbitch named Michael Brune, and a few days ago Brune confessed the collective guilt of the Sierra Club's founder.

You may well wonder what sin the exec director claims its founder committed, eh?

Wait...given today's screamig, of course you don't have to wonder:  Founder John Muir had friends who were concerned that the U.S. was allowing too many immigrants back around 1900. 

SEE??!  The dude who founded the Sierra Club was obviously a raaaaaaacist!  So according to the rules of the Left/Democrats/social-justice warriors, the Sierra Club must be abolished immediately!

So director Brune grovelled out how the organization plans atone for the 1892 founder's having had friends who were concerned about high immigration:  Brune said he would ensure that people of color make up “the majority of the team making top-level organization decisions” of the club in the future.

As a commenter noted, how dumb is it to promise that “the majority of the team making top-level organization decisions” for the club will be groups making up perhaps 20 percent of the population of the country?  Wait, to guilt-ridden leftist snowflakes it make perfect sense.

But perhaps nothing captures the inherent idiocy of leftist orgs like the Sierra Club as well as the time the club sued itself in federal court.

Seriously.  A company had asked to build a huge solar-electric project in the desert.  Since the Sierra Club hates carbon fuel ("global warming," ya know), the National board was, like totes for the green-energy project, and gave its approval.  But the California branch of the club sued National because desert tortoises lived in...well, the desert, and surely some lived on the proposed site of the marvelous, non-polluting solar plant.  Or needed to go thru that exact spot to get from feeding ground to mating ground.  Or something.

Comedy gold.

Another commenter wondered how long it would be before director Brune demanded that the National Park Service change the name of Muir Woods in Yosemite Park to "Black Lives Matter Woods."

The over/under is six weeks.
