rolling "Is This Racist?" thread

Second post in that thread is hatcat.

Hoisted by my own hatcat

That's a noble first post though.

There has to be something between that and "Is this white couple and their cooking tome entitled Thug Kitchen racist?"

"Coming up, a Parkay commercial in which little children run around a dining room table so fast, they turn into butter. But first – shots fired in Ferguson, Mo. for a second time this evening..."

What is Parkay? How does it compare to Crisco

crisco doesn't talk

lol person on [interent blogger I like]'s comment feed says, "Guys if we keep hammering on them we'll never get to see the sequel: "Ghetto Cookin'" so basically djp ahead by an hour.

tbf I think DJP's version is jaw-droopingly better

droppingly

Make the slaw:
Cut the cabbage into the thinnest strips you can and make sure those pieces are no longer than 2 inches. This is a great time to get good with your knife if you are looking for a silver f**king lining in all that chopping. Chop the carrot into thin matchsticks of the same length. Got that s**t down now, right? In a small bowl, mix together the lime juice, vinegar, oil, and salt. Add the dressing right before you are going to eat and toss that s**t well. Fold in the cilantro just before serving.

Make the tacos:
Crank your oven to 400°F. Chop the cauliflower into small florets no bigger than a quarter. In a saucepan over medium heat, warm the beer, broth, lime juice, tamari, hot sauce, and garlic. Add the cauliflower and simmer for about 90 seconds. Drain.

In a large bowl. toss the spices, salt, and olive oil together. Add the cauliflower and onion and stir 'til those f**kers are coated. Dump it on a rimmed baking sheet and bake until browned, stirring halfway, about 20 minutes.

To assemble the tacos, warm the tortillas in the oven or microwave for a hot minute and then pile them high with the cauliflower filling, slices of avocado, some of the slaw, and top with plenty of salsa.

so many much yes yes yes

this just seems like a lot of gratuitous swearing, and that's the whole schtick...? I dunno. why would anyone read this.

your fucking dinner

Coming up, a Parkay commercial in which little children run around a dining room table so fast, they turn into butter.

Wait, this isn't real, right? There's no way they made my grandma an ad exec – she just died a few months ago.

Sarah Jessica Parker stars as Sarah Daniels, a Lancaster schoolteacher who developed a deep prejudice against minorities, especially blacks. She decided to relocate to Belmont, Vermont, with the hopes that it will be 'all white', and gets hired in Belmont College. She does not disclose her past to anyone, but when an African-American student, Simon Brick, becomes the victim of hate crime, she soon realizes that not only will her past return to haunt her, she will be expected to be the liaison person for the minorities, as well as be asked to prepare a 10-point bullet-ed list to resolve racism.

Coming in Spring 2009

i'm not sure I get this.

yeah, i grew up with that book sad to say

To answer the thread question, yes, it's racist.

SJP starring as a racist teacher who's forced to write a ten-bullet essay for Bubba Gump on how to resolve racism in Vermont? I dunno, could go either way on that one.

I have my own personal rant about how that kind of cliched film reifies the stance that a passionate teacher fixes every SES problem and reverses all historical baggage
thank u nice wite ladies for JOURNALING even with TEEN PREGNINCE

that's why we don't deserve due process and everything is tied to test scores

blah blha blah inappropriate place to rant

Also srsly no

1. this is just horrible dear lord how did they get a book deal

Didn't realize you hated Hipster Puppies that much

I guess I liked to think there was a real Black dude from I dunno East Flatbush or something who was THAT into healthy eating as a from of subversive self-care.

I want the names and addresses of those four theaters.

i saw thug kitchen once on facebook and assumed it was some white ppl, seemed really racist on the face of, without this "unmasking"

I guess my issue is that it's not like black people HIDE when they do stuff like this, so the complete lack of actual physical presence should be taken as a 95% indicator that here be non-black people

dont see whats racist about it
ordered a thug kitchen 'stop snitchen' tshirt for my nephew from their etsy page last year
here in upscale MA suburbia vegan fusion is breaking in a big way right now

you almost had me until that last bit, nakh

"No snitchin' in the kitchen" aprons, STICHED in Olde English font.... Etsy.com, www.youre-really-clicking-on-this?.com19

uh

http://www.cnn.com/2014/10/01/politics/boston-herald-cartoon/index.html?hpt=hp_t2

The Herald is so bad that this verges on being a non-story

xp to Tuomas

Oh. The person I wrote that comment to also made a Dead Prez reference but I assumed she meant Dead Presidents and I didn't follow that up with any more thoughts.

hey nakh how do you feel about pampered chef

Pretty sure Jerry Holbert's going to be rated around No. 50 or so in the ILX Comics poll.

idk pampered chef is not really a thing around here in liberal ma, it is also a wholly owned subsidiary of berkshire hathaway which is not a good look for me right now
super into rad scandinavian food right now and watching anything related to noma on youtube
rene redzepi is just multiple iterations of next level

my sister threw a pampered chef party and we bought a couple of things

xp the newer bourdain show (parts unknown?) did a pretty good ep on noma if you haven't already checked it out

i want proof that dude's kids were actually using watermelon toothpaste

tbh I've almost bought the kids watermelon toothpaste a few times when looking for travel sized toothpaste

Other flavors I passed on: bubblegum

This was in China tho

why didn't this cartoonist thought of fried chicken toothpaste

the thing I love is that the cartoonist straight up came forward and realized he maybe picked the wrong fruit, but the Boston Herald went with that old college newspaper standard of HE WAS JUST SATIRIZING RACISM SOMEHOW every time some kid doodles a sambo

very constructive post (xpost)

Cartoon was at that level of stupidity and ignorance.

I know you all aren't saying "Well, here's an example of watermelon toothpaste. I don't know what the big deal is." I know this, right?

Yeah but why sink to that level xp
