Mother Jones: "Eating Three Meals a Day is Racist"
Pundit Press ^ | 3/5/15 | Aurelius

Posted on 03/05/2015 7:18:07 AM PST by rightistight

In one of the dumbest articles ever to see the light of day, Mother Jones has declared that eating three meals a day is "racist."

The piece, titled "Why You Should Stop Eating Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner," was written by Kiera Butler, a senior editor, and was published yesterday.

How is eating food racist? Butler explains that white Europeans brought the tradition of eating three meals a day with them to the "New World."

"When European settlers got to America, they also imported their meal habits," Butler writes, "a light meal—maybe cold mush and radishes—in the morning, a heavier, cooked one midday, and a third meal similar to the first one later in the day. They observed that the eating schedule of the native tribes was less rigid."

However, when food was scarce, natives "fasted. The Europeans took this as "evidence that natives were uncivilized," Butler writes, citing an email she received from someone who wrote a book.

Using toilet paper is also racist.

Sweet Mother Jones knows best dearie, she will tell you what to think while your strong big brother watches over you, welcome to the socialist commie family of love, where there isn’t much love to go around but you will all be miserable in what little of it there is.

Just the Cynical Name “Mother Jones” just seems to me as an attempt to tie the name of their horrible rag to the emotional centers of the reads who consume such dreck. If conservatives named a magazine “Father Smith” there would be no shortage of the epileptic fits the Pro-Regressives would have over the name of it.

I saw Kiera and assumed. I guess that’s where that “ass-u-me” saying comes from...

That, and posting based on headlines/excerpts.

So does this mean that blacks who eat three meals a day should be considered “Uncle Toms?”

Is Mother Jones trying to make itself even less relevant than ever? Look at how radio talk show host took down a reporter for that magazine recently.

“Miss Butler appears to be quite white. Many whites are as nutty as professional blacks.”

IMO Self loathing is a mental disorder which includes loathing ones own race and/or ones own country of origin........sound familiar?

I see a lot of young white boys these days driving around with their car stereo bass booming, wearing their hats all sideways. There’s a word for it but I’ll leave it at that.

Parents must be proud.

If it’s racist for Europeans to spread their culture to the rest of the world, why isn’t it racist when Muslims do the same thing?

Because European culture is based on Christianity,
and, like the hokey pokey, that’s what it’s all about -

for or agin Him. Nothing else.

I’m surprised Moochelle didn’t think of this approach first.

The stupidity of the Left wing never ceases to amaze me nor make me laugh. And to think they really believe the things they say and write is even more amazing.

I knew it would be that Europeans do that.

And of course since whites are racist, whatever they do is racist.

Called it.

Others put it better, but the quote goes something like this:

liberals care about “the poor” as a concept,
but hate them as people.

Oh Heavens!

How can you say something so racist?!

You are truly horrid.

And only too correct. That is why it hurts, at least the perpetually offended.
