rolling "Is This Racist?" thread

Maybe they just wanted to imply that the food was filling enough for hired mafia muscle.

Or a cult of Indian assassins

maybe they just wahttp://epicurious.blogs.com/.a/6a00d83451cb0369e201bb078ecd24970d-pi

Even with the alleged decline in ILX brainpower over the years, I really don't think you need to annotate a Thuggee joke

whew

I lingered on the post button for many seconds with that one

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.

The red mist cleared enough for me to start reading the article and

I read lengthy passages out loud to the entire staff in a voice that I can only describe as excessively masculine in a way that I am definitely not.

I cannot wait for someone to murder these people

Months later, after a bit of detective work and a fair amount of sweet-talking, I found myself driving through East Hollywood on the way to sample some dairy-free ice cream from Scoops, blasting Gucci Mane's "Lemonade" with the windows down.

deej?????

I didn't actually think he was in Brooklyn (also I've only seen the blog like twice) but that's how I imagined the author. This is infuriating.

Then, in early April, actress Gwyneth Paltrow included a link to Thug Kitchen in her GOOP newsletter, with no other commentary or explanation other than that This might be my favorite thing ever.

okay lol

Ok, wait. why are we on the Is This Racist? thread again?

For the past year, The Thugs focused on developing ("we'll test a recipe into the ground," says Davis), shooting, and writing about over 100 recipes.

STOP CALLING THEM "THE THUGS" YOU USELESS TOOL

tbh, having never heard of this before and now looking at the "thug kitchen" posts, they don't even read as "black" to me and seems to have this more vague kind of lol informal/cursing tone that I've seen in other internet humor, e.g. http://whatthefuckshouldimakefordinner.com/ Maybe in some multiple steps removed way that traces back to white-guy-talking-"ghetto" humor though. Or maybe I'm missing the offending posts. Or maybe they are just so bad at what they are doing that they are failing to even do a convincing "generic black thug" voice.

With a slate of book tour takes to support the release lined up and a hilarious cookbook trailer making the rounds, things don't look to be slowing down for Holloway and Davis.

Here is their "hilarious cookbook trailer":

Ok, wait. why are we on the Is This Racist? thread again?

Is there a "This Is Racist" thread?

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

the most racist thing about it is probably just calling it Thug Kitchen

I've thought about making one but 1) finding racist stuff on the internet is like putting a stick of dynamite into a bucket of fish and 2) it would be too depressing and what purpose would it serve?

xp

There is the Rolling 2014 Thread on Race

Thug Race Threads - Pullin' out your gat, shootin' fish in a barrel.

Pplains I decided not to call it the "Rolling 2014 Thread on Race and Racism" like last year for a reason, stated in the first post

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

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
