Professors claim farmers’ markets cultivate racism: ‘Habits of white people are normalized’
The Washington Times ^ | 12/27/2017 | Douglas Ernst

Two professors from San Diego State University claim in a new book that farmers’ markets in urban areas are weed-like “white spaces” responsible for oppression.

Pascale Joassart-Marcelli and Fernando J Bosco are part of an anthology released this month titled “Just Green Enough.” The work, published by Routledge, claims there is a correlation between the “whiteness of farmers’ markets” and gentrification.

“Farmers’ markets are often white spaces where the food consumption habits of white people are normalized,” the SDSU professors write, the education watchdog Campus Reform reported Wednesday.

Rural King had a box of 1000 9mm CCI/Speer (Blazer I think) for $179 & free shipping. But you snooze, you loose.

The one stall I frequent at my local farmers market are run by
a family of Hmong.

Excellent produce and reasonably priced.

A lot of the other stalls are so overpriced it’s just not worth shopping there.

Asians aren’t “protected minorities” and not the least bit of interest to these racist professors. Probably adjunct professors, not full. But they are collecting paychecks from the taxpayers of CA.

I think what’s really going on is the ongoing drumbeat to demonize white people and whiteness until it is completely obliterated. You see, they have absorbed the notion that Capitalism = White Culture. To get rid of capitalism, you have to eradicate white culture completely. So first they came for the Jews. Then they came for the Christians. Now they are going after each other, fellow White Liberals. It’s a race to be the last to go. You have to get further Left than anyone else. It’s the Hunger Games, in their heads.

Hey, @$$hole academics*, my white @$$ diet does not need normalizing!

*ACADEMICS: Individuals unable or unwilling to create or provide goods or services of value to others, who pontificate and expect to be paid for it, usually from public funds.

One of these “professors” would be an ideal interview on Tucker Carlson next week! He could show them to be idiots, like the guy who is claiming the tamarisk trees along two fairways of a golf course in Palm Springs are racist because they separate a black residential neighborhood from the course.

Here’s what they’re talking about:

Farmers markets undermine leftists’ whines about “food deserts”. They are mostly white because the local blacks aren’t interested in food you have to actually prepare and cook. That’s why there aren’t many produce stores in ghetto areas. Cooking is work.

So’s watermelon but don’t go bringing one to a predominantly black gathering.
****************************
In the ‘60s-early ‘90s, a coworker in my dept. got a birthday celebration at work each year. His birthday was Juneteenth, the date that the abolition of slavery was announced in Texas.

Folks brought RC cola, moon pies and watermelon, instead of birthday cake.

btw... He was a white guy and the blacks in our dept. participated and had no problems. ...We’d all be fired today.
