Dry asparagus prompts questions about racial discrimination in U. City
St. Louis Post Disgrace ^ | 7/17/13 | Stephen Deere

UNIVERSITY CITY • A dried-out batch of asparagus has touched off a debate about racial discrimination, grocery stores and the role of citizen-led commissions.

It started in May when resident David Olander was perusing the produce section of the University City Schnucks. He noticed the asparagus weren’t resting in a tray of water.

“It was just sitting there dried out,” said Olander, a member of the city’s human relations commission.

Olander summoned an assistant manager, and then he asked the question: Did the quality of the asparagus have any relationship to the store’s location in a black neighborhood?

Please note that Dr. Olander is a retired white pediatrician who is obviously overwhelmed with white guilt and idiocy. Geez....

In these latter days of egregious and blatant Black and Hispanic privilege, is there anything - anything at all - that DOESN’T prompt questions about racial discrimination?

I’d say it was time for that grocery store to get the heck out of dodge and let the people starve and take it up with this fruitcake.

If something is the slightest bit amiss anywhere at anytime, the root cause has to be racism.

It's the law.

There was a single crow in my neighborhood and I noticed the cardinals, robins and mockingbirds had nothing to do with this black bird and that is when I knew things were getting out of hand.

This is why satire postings drive me crazy. We get actual news stories (like this one) which are more bizarre than the satire stuff.

Our society is just a joke. Nuke it from orbit.

Mr. Olander, being a pasty white crackah ought to be smarter. He could have been targeted for for the KO game of a flash-beatdown.

Instead of suggesting to the store manager that asparagus does better if it standing in some water ( though even in California I have never seen asparagus displayed that way....it is usually just in the veggie case near the greens and celery with occasional sprayers going off), this yob decides that HE is on a mission.

Save us all from these types of do gooders

The store’s racism was confirmed by the observation that next to the Asparagus was a small rack containing envelopea of Hollandaise sauce mix.

Holland is obviously full of white people!

Where are the envelopes of mix to make Nigeria sauce?

The real take away is the city should not have a human relations commission or whatever they call it.

“envelopea” = “envelopes”

Probably just an issue of employee training.
Weed is supposed to be dried; Asparagus not so much.
