We know that food like fried chicken and watermelon are racist, though we have no idea why delicious stuff like this is offensive. Recently butter, syrup, and whole grain rice has been deemed racist as well. It’s getting kind of hard for woke white people to keep track of which foods to avoid in the name of social justice but luckily the left has determined that all food racist. If you really want to be a guilty white liberal ally, simple stop eating. Boom! Racism is fixed.
Here’s something from Triple Pundit that signals the left has jumped the shark that was jumping over another lefty jumping a shark:
The Effort to Stamp Out Systemic Racism in the U.S. Food System Gains Momentum
Food isn’t just racist, it’s systemically racist, which like 10 times as bad, I’m assuming.
Calls for racial justice over the past several weeks have focused attention on how systemic racism reverberates across the U.S. economy and criminal justice system. But an area overlooked by many is how the food on our plate is emblematic of an agricultural system rooted in racial inequality.
How dare those woke liberals forget that everything, including food, is racist. Thankfully someone has brought this important issue to their attention.
Now, some organizations are shining a light on how to tackle issues of race, equity and access in our food system.
You may be wondering how food is racist and the answer may surprise you:
Stamping out systemic racism in the U.S. food system is a complex issue. Its roots go back to when the land itself was taken from native communities by violence and theft and worked by enslaved people, according to Food Animal Concerns Trust (FACT), a sustainable farming group that recently pledged to work toward a more equitable farming system.
Saying that food is racist because the land was taken from indigenous people by white people is brilliant because it helps the left explain how literally everything is racist. This entire country was taken from the Indians by white European settlers. Roads are racist. Cities are racist. Dog parks are racist. There isn’t one damn thing that isn’t racist under this theory.
The other problem is apparently there are more white farmers now than minority farmers.
That reckoning with systemic racism is necessary, given that white Americans are most likely to own land and benefit from the wealth it generates. A recent study shows that from 2012 to 2014, white people comprised over 97 percent of non-farming landowners, 96 percent of owner-operators, and 86 percent of tenant operators. They also generated 98 percent of all farm-related income from land ownership and 97 percent of the income that comes from operating farms.
Is it possible black people don’t want to be farmers? Naw, it’s gotta be racism that’s keeping them from their dream picking vegetables in the hot sun.
Again, this help makes the case that everything is racist. There are more white race car drivers than black ones so car racing is racist. There are more white people in Metallica than minorities so Metallica is racist. The NBA though, they got it going on.
As it turns out there is another way food is racist:
Another glaring aspect of systemic racism within the food system is the lack of access to healthy foods that affects people of color to a far greater degree. According to the nonprofit Food Trust, Black families are 2.5 times and Latinx families are 1.4 times more likely than white families to live in neighborhoods without access to a full-service grocery store.
The only thing glaring here is the author’s lack of understanding in how a free-market economy works. If there was any money to be made selling healthy food in shitty neighborhoods, people would do it. Black people don’t want eat expensive fresh locally-sourced veggies. If someone were to open a store selling kale and kohlrabi to homies in Compton, they be out of business in a week. They wouldn’t even get robbed because there’d be nothing in the cash register.
I completely disagree that food is racist, but I’m not a liberal so this doesn’t effect me. Liberals however are now obligated to cancel food. They have cancelled everything else they determined to be racist, so food has to be out too if they truly want to support Black Lives Matter. In fact…
“Our plates are not united and what’s on your fork can look vastly different if you’re in a red-lined, over-policed community with struggling schools and low-wage jobs. It is critical that anyone engaged in the food movement — or any movement for that matter — have a racial justice analysis and further a racial justice practice. Any movement devoid of that practice is not a movement at all,” said Beatriz Beckford, co-founder and national organizer of the National Black Food and Justice Alliance.
Who knew it was this easy to get rid of liberals? Just tell ‘em food is racist and watch ‘em waste away.
