I think the green new deal should involve getting AOC permanently banned from office. The hot air from her mouth and her carbon footprint from shuttling her dumb self from DC to NY is not worth it. She is an 8 year old girl in a womans body.
And before any of you "bbbuuuut Trump" idiots chime in, yes, hes awful too, but this thread isn't about him so lets just stay on topic and focus on why she is a complete idiot.
You guys are nuts. All she said was that communities and their gardens should be allowed to be culturally relevant to the people who live there, and that communities should be able to make their own choices. If you were growing a garden, wouldn't you want to decide for yourself what you want to grow? She did not say cauliflower was a racists veg.
She said "with a colonial lens" so in language that some wacko dems and swjs will understand, thats what those folks like to refer to as a "dog whistle" so yeah, she said its racist because "colonialism" is usually a way to spin things as being racist.
You're taking the information out of context. She's not saying cauliflower is racist.
She said putting cauliflower in a garden where the residents have not been accustomed to cooking cauliflower or eating it may set the garden up for failure.
She was saying that you needed to plant food is culturally in tune with their community.

Nah, once she starts throwing around the word "colonialism" thats clearly her way and other peoples way of subtly calling something racist....so shes calling the community gardening practices racist because of the inclusion of things like cauliflower.

I'm white and I think that cauliflower is the most useless vegetable that exists, other than eggplant that is.
AOC's comment is being taken completely out of context by the OP.
Her point was community gardens and other environmental projects should be managed with the needs and culture of the community it's serving in mind.
I see nothing wrong with that.
She will need to embrace climate change if she wants vegetables that literally cannot grow in her AO.
If you have people who migrated from a tropical climate... tropical plants will not grow in NYC.
But then I don't even know what we're talking about--does anybody? Is the OP making up fake news?
Colonialism? Colonist lens? Let's eliminate the real loony left and the real loony right, both!
