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.

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.

Do a search for cauliflower is racist and see what you find. Apparently it is a trending topic in the SJW community. Here is one link:

Cauliflower is 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.

No, it isn't.

Who manages the community gardens? White people who like cauliflower because it represents them?

[quoteI see nothing wrong with that.[/quote]

She's talking about a vegetable having a "racist" connection.

How do you NOT see something wrong with that?

Racist veggies.

Someone needs to ask the SJW crazies about this. Yellow cauliflower could potentially be declared even more racist than white cauliflower.

I'm white and I think that cauliflower is the most useless vegetable that exists, other than eggplant that is.

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.

Maybe for some people but not for me. Slimey.

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!
