Eating White Turkey Meat Now Means You Are Racist

The cries of racism from the left are a part of politics these days it seems. Whether it’s John McCain questioning the
handling of the Benghazi debacle by U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice, or Mitt Romney “niggerizing” Barack Obama by saying the president’s campaign was “angry and divisive” as MSNBC genius Prince Madonna Seal Touré so eloquently
suggested, it seems the left can find racism wherever they please.
In fact, they can even find racism in turkey.
Let that sink in for a minute: turkey is now a sign of racism.
Slate recently republished an
article from 2010 saying how racist white meat is. The writer babbles on about white bread and its white history, then pivots to white turkey meat …seriously:
Why have we broken the chains of the whiteness that bound us to fatally tasteless white bread while still remaining imprisoned in the white-meat turkey ghetto? …
Despite its superior taste, dark meat has dark undertones for some. Dark meat evokes the color of earth, soil. Dark meat seems to summon up ancient fears of contamination and miscegenation as opposed to the supposed superior purity of white meat. I guess it shouldn’t be a surprise that white meat remains the choice of a holiday that celebrates Puritans.
Here’s a
crazy thought: people have different tastes. Some people love beets. Some people love scotch. But we are individuals, and some don’t like beets, scotch, or even (gasps!) dark meat!
The whole “Republicans are racist” game is getting tiring and ridiculous. This article was originally written in 2010, but Slate felt the need to resurface this silly and contrived argument for what reason – they really wanted Americans that like white turkey meat to feel guilty about their turkey choices?
Chris Matthews and his MSNBC gang of finger-pointers need to invite these supposedly ‘racist’ guests on their shows to talk about these issues, because this is getting downright absurd and no amount of finger pointing gets us anywhere. It’s time to stop shouting and start talking.
