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.

"The geology professors claim that 44 percent of San Diego’s farmers’ markets cater to “households from higher socio-economic backgrounds,” which raises property values and “[displaces] low-income residents and people of color.”"

Now we have to shut down the Geology Depts. too?

I go to many farmers markets here in the spring and summer. I’m usually one of three white people among several hundred Hmong and Vietnamese.

I’m beginning to believe that the word ‘professor’ has begun to mean kooky.

My gosh, this is just so weirdly racist! What kind of mental illnesses are these professors afflicted with? Should they be walking around unsupervised, much less infecting students?

Are mental illnesses contagious?

They don’t want “farmers markets”....they probably want slaves working in the fields....that’s more a Democrat policy

Perhaps “Professors” could be designated as a race so we could discriminate against them.

So, not only are White People oppressive but they are not normal either.

The Black racist complain that stores in the hoods don’t sell fresh nutritious food but now they are going to complain about Farmer’s Markets in the hoods.

Schizophrenic much?
