Have you been enjoying your Thanksgiving turkey leftovers? Do you have a preference for the white meat? If you do, then racism could explain why you prefer the white meat to the dark meat.

In an article worthy of The Onion but published in all seriousness in Slate, writer Ron Rosenbaum plumbs the depths of absolute ridiculousness to explain his white meat racism theory. First he details why white meat is supposedly so horrible:

So “moolatte” is racist, and the nutritionist who got fired for recommending that people eat watermelon was racist and the Milky Way is racist cuz the stars are white and if you like chocolate ice cream you are racist and if you are breathing and “white” you are racist.

I’m guessing I’m islamophobic since I like ham instead of turkey for Thanksgiving...? And, bacon too.

"I’m as white and pale as they come and I like dark meat. What does that make me?"

Russian?

Because Americans prefer white meat there is always a surplus of dark meat. Russians prefer dark meat and buy much of our surplus dark meat.

Even so, I feed each of my doggies (click on my name to see my dogs) a chicken leg quarter a day. When I started doing that, leg quarters were $0.19 a pound, they are $0.79 a pound now.

If I prefer white meat doesnt it mean I hate my own race? That’s it, I’m a race cannibal.

Seriously, there was a time when people who thought like the author wouldn’t have been considered for a decent job.

This country has elected, and by a narrow margin, reelected a Negro as president. It has caused so much cognitive dissonance in the Marxist Moonbats that, instead of proclaiming victory of a colorblind society, they see racism in almost everything, Chrissie Matthews style. Sad.

But wait! Eating white meat means you are racist. But eating watermelon means you are racist! How can that be? Maybe it’s just that anyone who has been designated as “white” by the government is labeled racist. Breathing while white is racist.

I am a pale male lesbian who likes dark meat and milk chocolate.

I am so confused.

Slightly off-topic — but only slightly — when it comes to chicken, Russians prefer dark meat. This fact has proved to be a boon to big chicken producers (Tyson, Pilgrim’s Pride, Perdue, etc.). As frozen chicken breasts, boneless breasts, and wings have become popular for U.S. consumers (who can’t be bothered to cut up a whole chicken), the value of legs and thighs would have plummeted, if not for demand from Russia.

I note that his choice of black pixels with which to convey this moronic screed can only be motivated by racism. Fucking oxygen thief.

OMG — I have once again been exposed to sheer stupidity and find it as a singularity: void and tasteless.

Dadgummit. You beat me to it (see my post #70).

It seems your dogs are treated better than mine (who are also on my home page).

I guess that depends on the pianist.

What if the pianist is really really big? Like say, six feet? And then what if he gets elected POTUS?
