NOW PEANUT BUTTER AND JELLY IS 'RACIST'

Verenice Gutierrez picks up on the subtle language of racism every day.

Take the peanut butter sandwich, a seemingly innocent example a teacher used in a lesson last school year.

“What about Somali or Hispanic students, who might not eat sandwiches?” says Gutierrez, principal at Harvey Scott K-8 School, a diverse school of 500 students in Northeast Portland’s Cully neighborhood.

“Another way would be to say: ‘Americans eat peanut butter and jelly, do you have anything like that?’ Let them tell you. Maybe they eat torta. Or pita.”

[Terry Mross]

Throw some “cabrito” into the conversation. Not many Americans eat that. And throw some possum in for the Southern Black and white hillbillies. And be sure and talk about dog meat since obama the muslim eats it.

[kenmcg]

Our once great nation is going the way of South Africa or Zimbabwe, formerly Rhodesia. Another four with the “messiah” and we’re toast.

[Political Junkie Too]

Of course it is. The logic goes like this:

The Earl of Sandwich is English. The English colonization of the developing world resulted in slavery and suppressing the indigeneous peoples of Africa and Asia. Therefore, eating a Sandwich is racist.

This woman is a total idiot.

[skeeter]

These ‘educators’ motives are seditious. They should be shunned and ridiculed at every opportunity.

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

Ketchup and mustard are also racist. Ketchup is red which mocks native Americans and mustard is yellow which mocks the asian. Therefore I demand both condiments be made transparent but that would be racist towards ghosts. So instead let us ban both.

Guitierrez, along with all of Portland Public Schools’ principals, will start the new school year off this week by drilling in on the language of “Courageous Conversations,” the district-wide equity training being implemented in every building in phases during the past few years.

Through intensive staff trainings, frequent staff meetings, classroom observations and other initiatives, the premise is that if educators can understand their own “white privilege,” then they can change their teaching practices to boost minority students’ performance.

Last Wednesday, the first day of the school year for staff, for example, the first item of business for teachers at Scott School was to have a Courageous Conversation — to examine a news article and discuss the “white privilege” it conveys.

I have the white privilege of paying high taxes to support people who won't work and kids whose parents won't make them learn.

[Political Junkie Too]

Another four with the “messiah” and we’re toast.

So toasting your PB&J is doubly racist?

-PJ

[Slings and Arrows]

I guess this is racist too.

[Berlin_Freeper]

Maybe they eat dogs.

[FoxInSocks]

The actual article published last Wednesday at the Portland Tribune: Schools beat the drum for equity.

Culture and race are different. Culture is a human construct — the way a group of people does things. Race has to do with inheritable differences between groups of people (although many also argue that race is also just a human construct).

Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches are artifacts of a culture. Tacos are artifacts of a culture. Anyone in the world can chose to eat a BP&J sandwich, or a taco. No one can chose to change their race.

Unfortunately, stupidity knows no racial or cultural bounds.

Hey Gutierrez, if you dont like peanut butter and jam, go back to whatever third world hellhole you came from and eat tortillas all day long! I am sick of these immigrants trying to turn America into whatever craphole they ran from. If it was so great “back home”, then why the hell are you here?

[Hodar]

So, instead of being a mixing pot - where we all merge our cultures together and work towards a mutual goal, “The American Dream”; we have teachers telling us that we must seek out differences, and focus on things that divide us.

Then, as we focus on those issues that divide us; we must all unite and scream “Racism” against the evil white man.

[KC_Lion]

You bet it is!

[LibLieSlayer]

Don't forget the Armadillo... or as we on the Mississippi Gulf Coast refer to it as “Possum on the half shell”.

[txrefugee]

Or maybe they don’t eat anything at home and would starve if the U.S. taxpayers didn’t feed them at school, lady. Sheesh....just a “thank you” every once in a while from these ingrates would be refreshing.

[xrmusn]

I will stand by an earlier statement.

Just admit we ARE, racist, sexist, homophobic etc etc etc and they can’t accuse us of it.

Of course BS like this just keeps minds off the REAL problems.

But..but, John Kerry, who fought in VietNam( which side?)has his man-servant make him peanut butter with GRAPE jelly sandwiches every day.

[magellan]

The fact parents aren't rioting and throwing these principals and teachers out on their butts is why there is a very real chance 0bama will get reelected.

It is not that half the people are on some kind of government program, because plenty of retirees are conservative. It is these loons implementing this crap.

[mojito]

You know, yesterday while I was watching football I ate a bbq chicken sandwich.

It was delicious. But it tasted of racism.

I always suspected that I was a bigot. And now I know. Because the sandwich told me so.

[MrB]

“You’re a racist!”

“Oh, yeah? So is gravity!”

[GeronL]

liberalism is a mental disease sure as the sun rises at daybreak

[Daveinyork]

This silliness will go on no matter who the President is. It’s been going on uninterupted since the early 1970’s, through Presidents Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, Bush, Clinton, Bush, and Obama.

It will go on as long as we tolerate it.

[SparkyBass]

Peanut butter and jelly,
a-that's all I put in my belly.
Peanut butter and jelly on rye,
I'm a peanut butter & jelly kind of guy!

extra 10 points if you remember the source! :)

Just admit we ARE, racist, sexist, homophobic etc etc etc and they can’t accuse us of it.

What you mean, 'We,' white man?

"What about Somali or Hispanic students, who might not eat sandwiches?”

Send them back to their home countries where they won't be offended by Americans.

[tumblindice]

I don't take seriously anything I see in the news that has the word "insensitivity" anywhere in it. See `Tawana Brawley'

Actually, he probably was eating nasi goreng,gado-gado,sate and soto. This reference to peanut butter and jelly was designed to make people think of him as American and forget the fact that he was raised in Indonesia.

[Smokin' Joe]

But peanut butter was invented by George Washington Carver, a black man. Maybe that has something to do with it.

“What about Somali or Hispanic students, who might not eat sandwiches?” says Gutierrez, principal at Harvey Scott K-8 School, a diverse school of 500 students in Northeast Portland’s Cully neighborhood.

Of course, that statement is itself racist.

“You’re a racist!”

Sticks and stones will break my bones but names will never hurt me.

Somebody should tell the fruitcake that Americans eat whatever they darn well please.

I eat bread, tortas, pitas, Mexican food, Tex-Mex, Indian, Thai, and who knows what else.

If I was racist I'd only eat Gringo Food - Oh, wait did I just use the word Gringo?

[dfwgator]

Bread is also sexist

[F15Eagle]

But, you gotta admit, it’s one of the biggest Tripod advertisements we’ve seen today!

[MissMagnolia]

Just admit we ARE, racist, sexist, homophobic etc etc etc and they can’t accuse us of it.

I just tell folks 'if you breathe air these days, you're racist' and keep on truckin' with whatever I'm talking about. It used to mean something if you were 'racist' ... now, it means virtually nothing .... other than you're not an Obama butt-kisser.

This is Portland, Oregon. In this state, there are special schools for the instruction of stupid commicrat libs. They are called “colleges.”

I think I can understand her logic here.

If I order a taco at Taco Bell, then:

1) Taco Bell used to have an ad campaign “Run for the Border”

2) Running for the border is something illegal immigrants do

3) Since America fought with Mexico territory was lost

4) People want to attach race to anything, especially inside or outside America, and those who want to reconquer America for Mexico, cry “racism!” over a war 160+ years ago

5) Therefore ordering a taco at Taco Bell would be bad.

The important thing is to find a racial “issue” in everything.

Only when we find stupidity-driven divisive “issues” with every single thing discussed, written, thought or simply imagined, can we truly be united as a society.

See? It all makes perfect sense.

You forgot that the Hawaiian Islands were once called The Sandwich Islands......

But the beach must be racist, too, because of all the sand which is there.......

[fungoking]

Glad to see this article, will use it to help teach how nuts Conflict Theorist (like 0bama) are to my Sociology students tomorrow.

“Jam Up And Jelly Tight”

Jam up and jelly tight
My, my, my baby
Now you’re outta sight
Jam up and jelly tight
You look a little naughty
But you’re so polite
Jam up and jelly tight
You won’t say you will but
There’s a chance that you might

I said the first day I met you
Someday I’m gonna pet you
Now you’re here and baby I love it
So come on and give me some lovin
Jam up and jelly tight
Jam up and jelly tight

You’ve got a sweet disposition
So come on and give me permission
For one kiss and maybe another
You’ll see we were meant for each other
Jam up and jelly tight

[BubbaBasher]

My lunch was a PB&J on wheat bread and I drank chocolate milk with it. I’m so confused now.

[Brad’s Gramma]

Mayo is the ULTIMATE racist food!!
