The Ta-Nehisi Coates Of Food
The American Conservative ^ | March 12, 2019 | Rod Dreher

Posted on 03/12/2019 7:00:48 AM PDT by C19fan

A friend e-mailed the link to this GQ profile of Tunde Wey, a Nigeria-born New Orleans chef, described by my friend as “the Ta-Nehisi Coates of food.” Oh? Dour and militant? That sounds like fun. Read on:

Perhaps you’re looking for a story about how Food Brings Us Together. About how even in These Dark Times, we can always gather around The Table to experience the healing Power of Food.

If so, I’m sorry.

Those are the kinds of platitudes that Wey, who is a prolific texter, might respond to with one of his favorite emojis: the little face laughing so hard that tears gush out of both eyes. In fact, he does not consider such comforting narratives any kind of laughing matter. He believes they are dangerous, and it’s his goal, as he travels across the country, to expose and erase them.

I blame the white people who go along with these Debbie downer “woke”, a usage of a normal word I now despise.

John T. Edge is a really nice guy, but the southern doorways at Ole Miss which he heads encourages these scenarios where the whites need to atone for their ways. So Edge, in a sense, is reaping back in spades with this bore. He also was pretty threatening to Edge. What a joke this guy is. As long as he’s got the gullible, self flagellating white people aboard he has a show!

Guilting whites is a growing and profitable business.

There are plenty of plump white pinatas primed for a shake down.
