Fried chicken is good under any circumstances. I prefer it with rice and gravy, but waffles are a fine side, too.

Funny because these damn gentrified URBAN markets are usually perpetrated by the all-knowing all-tolerant white liberals. You know, the fools interested only in non-capitalist “organic” matter.

I thought “food deserts” were a bad thing? Now farmer’s markets are a bad thing because they encourage eating something besides junk food?

I have to ask. When did the habits of the majority of Americans, who are white people, become a normal in their own country?

Was this decision to brand white culture ever voted on by white people or even Americans?

I tried to find the original publication. Didn’t, but I did come across this “gem” from the National Science Foundation.

Read the babble which will be the alleged research “product”. And note the size of the grants to date.

Reminds me to buy more ammunition.

That’s the whole point, the last thing they want is people to “bond”, they want everybody fighting each other.
