Idiom; to attempt an ill-advised, mildly unpleasant shortcut to avoid a more complicated process, with a high probability of failure. The idiom itself is an example of such an experience, since licking trees is unpleasant, and even maple trees rarely taste sweet just by licking the bark. The idiom also implies that tried and true methods, rather than blind experimentation, yield better results. Drilling into the trunk of a maple tree with a tap, is the correct way to obtain maple syrup.
"Kicking the car to try and make it start again won't work. That's just licking a tree and hoping for maple syrup, honestly. Let's call a tow truck instead."

Hating white people is a political position popular among unsuccessful demographics who look for an excuse as to why they themselves are unsuccessful. Much like the Nazis with the Jews, these people will blame every social ill on the successful European race (believing they are being oppressed by them), and will often advocate for their own "final solution". (i.e genocide). Hatred of whites is very common among black and muslim populations.
SJW: "Hating white people is ok because they're oppressing us!"
Normal person: "How are they oppressing you? By giving you free money?"
SJW: "STOP OPPRESSING ME WITH YOUR WHITE LOGIC!"
