Eating crow is a colloquial idiom,[1] used in some English-speaking countries, that means humiliation by admitting having been proven wrong after taking a strong position.[2] The crow is a carrion-eater that is presumably repulsive to eat in the same way that being proven wrong might be emotionally hard to swallow.[2] The exact origin of the idiom is unknown, but it probably began with an American story published around 1850 about a dim-witted New York farmer.[3] Eating crow is of a family of idioms having to do with eating and being proven incorrect, such as to "eat dirt" and to "eat your hat" (or shoe), all probably originating from "to eat one's words", which first appears in print in 1571 in one of John Calvin's tracts, on Psalm 62: "God eateth not his words when he hath once spoken".
*crow about:
to brag about something.
Crows are black and eat corpses (scraps) Think of why the DS likes to associate crows with black people.
Jim Crow:
The systemic discrimination against African Americans that occurred in the southern United States from the end of the American Civil War until the 1960s, in which Black people were treated as a lower class of citizens than white people.
BRITAIN’S Got Talent has become embroiled in a racism storm after fans reacted with shock to an act shown on Saturday night.
Serial auditionee Jim Fitzpatrick, 63, returned to the stage after three years away in a homemade crow outfit.
The scandal is that a guy named Jim dressed in a crow costume on Britain's Got Talent.
A spokesman from Britain's Got Talent said: "At no point during his audition was Jim Fitzpatrick referred to as Jim Crow. No offence was intended with the performance and BGT is proud to be a diverse and inclusive show, amplified through moments like the BAFTA award winning Diversity performance shown in the last series."
No way they didn't know. It was a complicated performance that had to be rehearsed. We can rule out that they weren't aware. They wanted the publicity. Bad publicity is better than no publicity.
And Jim Crows is connected to Qualified Immunity:
Qualified immunity protects government officials from civil lawsuits only—not from criminal prosecution—and does not protect the government itself from being found liable for the officer’s action. For example, many plaintiffs who sue police officers individually also seek damages from the city government that employed them. While plaintiffs might fail to prove that the officer violated their “clearly established” rights, they might succeed in proving that the city was legally remiss in hiring an unqualified officer.
Citizens can't sue government officials for violating their rights. That is qualified immunity.
Qualified immunity means only government officials can punish government officials. See how this works?
In the period following the Civil War, slavery had ended, but the horrors of racial violence persisted. The Ku Klux Klan terrorized newly-emancipated Black Americans with lynching, mob violence, and other vile forms of intimidation and brutality. In response, Congress passed the Civil Rights Act of 1871—also known as the Ku Klux Klan Act—which gave Black Americans the right to file a lawsuit against government officials who engaged in acts of racial assault or who refused to protect them from groups such as the Klan.
You can see why government officials hated this. Imagine if people could sue the Portland police and mayor for failing to protect them from Antifa?
Or if citizens could sue the government for not doing its job. Yeah, you can see why the government had to quickly do something about this. This wasn't just a victory for blacks, but for everyone who wasn't government.
In 1967, the Court modified the original act by introducing the doctrine of qualified immunity in the case of Pierson v. Ray, where it was decided that government officials accused of committing constitutional violations are entitled to claim qualified immunity as a defense if they acted “with probable cause in making an arrest under a statute that they believed to be valid.”
Over the decades, qualified immunity has swelled into a nearly impenetrable legal shield that prevents abusive government officials from facing the consequences for their brutal transgressions
It's almost impossible to punish government officials for either failing to do their job or for breaking your rights.
A crow in Texas has died after being illegally shot down with a blow gun, photos shared by Blue Ridge Wildlife Center show.
The bird was found critically injured by the Animal Welfare League of Arlington on April 19, in the Fairlington neighborhood.
Isn't it weird that the mass media is reporting on a crow getting shot with a blow dart in Texas? Is that really worth of national news?
BREAKING NEWS: A bird is hurt!
It makes no sense for them to blast this unless it has a hidden purpose.
Recently, people in the area where the crow was found had been complaining about the birds, Riley said. They have also had a wildlife control company come in and perform "legal-but-questionable deterrents."
Now that sounds like qualified immunity (Jim Crow = Qualified immunity). It sounds like the real agenda is talking about shooting down qualified immunity which would expose many government officials to civilian lawsuits.
Crows are part of the corvid family. Sound familiar?
Corvids are some of the most intelligent species of bird on the planet, thriving thanks to being generalist feeders that enjoy a wide-ranging diet from seeds and insects to meat, dead and alive. They’re monogamous and sociable. It’s because of these characteristics that this supremely successful family has always come into conflict with Man. Long before game shooting, gamekeepers or conservation, creatures that deprived us of precious food or affected our standard of living were on the hit list.
An old farming rhyme, ‘one for the rook, one for the crow, one to rot and one to grow’, illustrates the perceived impact of corvids on crops, giving rise to the deployment of Worzel Gummidge and his scarecrow mates.
There are many recent news articles bubbling up about "qualified immunity" and getting rid of it so that government officials can be sued by citizens.
But that's often not true. If the person they're looking to sue is a public official, particularly a public safety official, it could be nearly impossible to get a day in court. That's because qualified immunity, a doctrine created by the U.S. Supreme Court in the 1960s and emboldened in the 1980s, makes most government workers largely immune to civil lawsuits.
How do the media paint the issue so that conservatives are alienated? By making it about getting back at cops. Conservatives are generally more respectful of the police and believe in following the law. This is good and bad.
By making it always about racism and cops, most don't really think about who qualified immunity also protects. They don't think about how it shields corrupt government officials.
Crows also tie back to the "Underworld" series of movies:
"The Corvinus Clan has been around since at least the early seasons of the fifth century, if not earlier. Described by Lycan scientist Singe as "the rarest of bloodlines", it was from within the blood of one Alexander Corvinus, a Warlord, Duke, and the Patriarch of the Corvinus Clan, (and a recipient of this same rare bloodline), that the Corvinus Strain was mutated, in his immune system's response to a plague that ravaged his home village, his rare bloodstrain bonding with and adapting the plague virus, and himself in turn, to his benefit. In the end, Alexander alone survives the plague, becoming "the first true Immortal"."
Vampires could be code for users of adrenochrome.
"According to the documentary Fang VS. Fiction, there was a real life Corvinus Clan around the same time as Vlad the Impaler, and that there were stories circulating about members of the clan becoming Vampires and Werewolves, as well as other things. According to history, the most memorable head figure of the real life Corvinus Clan was Matei Corvin/Matthias Corvinus (King of Hungary)."
They also tie in with Great Britain and the Tower of London:
"Brân the Blessed, the mythical king of Britain, is represented by crows and ravens in Welsh mythology. In fact, the name of the king itself means “crow” or “raven”. According to a folklore in the famous Welsh Triads, the king’s severed head was buried on the location where the Tower of London stands today. It was believed that as long as the head remained there, Britain would never be invaded by an outside force. King Arthur, however, is known to have dug up the head, in order to affirm his power and strength in the kingdom. Nevertheless, even today, ravens are looked upon as protective spirits, and the birds are looked after at the Tower of London, under the care of a trained Ravenmaster."
This could come into play should the Monarchy fall:
"The Ravens of the Tower of London are a group of at least six captive ravens resident at the Tower of London. Their presence is traditionally believed to protect The Crown and the Tower; a superstition holds that "if the Tower of London ravens are lost or fly away, the Crown will fall and Britain with it."
Later legends
"It was said that at the execution of Anne Boleyn in 1536, "Even the ravens of the Tower sat silent and immovable on the battlements and gazed eerily at the strange scene. A Queen about to die!" The ravens of the Tower behaved much worse during the execution of Lady Jane Grey in 1554, purportedly "pecking the eyes from the severed head" of the queen."
Crows and ravens—part of the avian family of Corvids that also includes jays and magpies—underwent rapid global expansion, unlike other family members that stayed mostly within single continents.
What is their secret to this amazing planetary expansion?
"We hypothesize that these three very convenient combinations of traits are what allowed this group of birds to colonize and diversify across the world," Garcia-Porta said.
Adelaide have proven a real surprise packet of 2022 after jumping to a 3-3 start after six rounds.
Most impressively, the Crows have been in a winning position late in all games bar one, with two of their losses coming by less than a goal.
With back-to-back victories against more fancied opponents in Richmond and most recently the Western Bulldogs, former Crow Josh Jenkins was impressed in the young side’s “mental fortitude” after passing their biggest test yet.

Excellent dig. I hadn't thought about the Underworld stuff as well.
I also found this "study" about Corvids and how they came to take over the planet:

i caught this too. Civil Rights Act of 1871
that was the year of the Organic Act too, right?
