I learned today that Farmers Markets are Raycist. Who would have thought it.

I enjoy going to the farmers market in Raleigh. They have some good deals and they have several places to eat that are really good. Now that I know they are raycist I am not sure I should go[;)]

BTW I see as many bl*ck folks there as honkys both as vendors and shoppers.

The story:
http://www.foxnews.com/us/2017/12/28/farmers-markets-racially-biased-cause-environmental-gentrification-professors-say.html


C&P
Two California professors are criticizing farmers? markets for causing ?environmental gentrification?(That is a hell of a label) in which ?habits of white people are normalized.?(WTH does that suposed to mean???)

San Diego State University geography professors Pascale Joassart-Marcelli and Fernando J. Bosco contend that farmers? markets are ?white spaces? oppressing minorities in a chapter for "Just Green Enough," an environmental anthology focused on urban development.

Environmental gentrification is defined as a process where ?environmental improvements lead to ? the displacement of long-term residents,? according to the anthology.

The professors, as reported by Campus Reform, say farmers? markets are ?exclusionary? because locals cannot ?afford the food and/or feel excluded from these new spaces.?

The SDSU professors, who teach classes like ?Geography of Food? and ?Food Justice,? argue that ?farmers? markets are often white spaces where the food consumption habits of white people are normalized.?


Here is some further reading that will instill more white guilt:

Enjoy!

Now I think I am going to truck down the the Farmers Market and get me some Potatoes and while I'm there I may get me an Oyster Po-boy[:D]

    Meanwhile the South Americans and Mexicans are adapting well.

    Around here almost every painter, sheetrocker, roofer, plumber, electrician, framer Etc is Hispanic. New trucks and businesses along with a ton of Hispanic Churches.

    Go figure
    Why don't we go to school and work on the weekends and take the week off!

    When I go to the DeKalb Farmers Market as a white hetero male, I am in the minority by a LONG stretch. Most of the shoppers are not from here as we would say and the vast majority of them are most decidedly not hetero. The only reason I drive that far is because they have the best fish counter in town and their bulk spice selection is amazing.

    DeKalb Farmers Market is a good one.

    I remember going to the Atlanta Farmers Market as a kid with my Dad. They used to have a good Gun Show there too.

    Think this racist crap might be promoted by Democrats who are trying to retain their lock on a huge percentage of the black vote. Maybe they're scared?

    Might backfire if enough black people realize they're being held and used "as voters" on a Democratic plantation.

    I'm thinking about getting a pizza for supper. How can I find out if that makes me a bigot before I buy it?

    We must keep farmers markets a secret from the peons lest they gain literacy and threaten the landed gentry.
    An unarmed man can only flee from evil, and evil is not overcome by fleeing from it.

    James.

    There is a pizza place near me that makes white pies. They might send you one. Bound to be racist as it is topped with only white cheeses.

    Saw one of those 'card holders' at the grocery store the other day....at the meat counter loading 3 huge beef briskets into his cart.

    They eat better than the rest of us and do it for free on our dollars.

    [}:)][}:)]


    About 2 weeks ago, a local grocery chain had trimmed brisket for $1.19/lb. I got $126 worth for use in my new smoker.
    I had to pay cash, cuz I hain't got me a card.

    Yep, the community where I work is 89% white and has a farmer's market so I am not sure whose territory they are infringing on.

    Apparently I am gathering from this is that black people don't eat vegetables?

    Back in the early 1970s I was working on an Associate Degree at Guilford Technical Institute, a junior college in Jamestown, NC. I signed up for what was advertised as a History course. It turned out to be a revisionist black history course, so this insane cow cookies is nothing new.

    One day the instructor was explaining to the class why it is impossible for a black person to be a bigot. He said to be a bigot you have to have power and control over the people you are bigoted against. I told him that made it impossible for me to be a bigot because I didn't have power and control over anybody, not even my wife. He said saying that made me a bigot. So I guess I'm officially a bigot but I don't let it influence my thoughts or actions. I guess you could say I am prejudice against lies, stupidity and intentional ignorance.
