Now American apple pie is cancelled! The Guardian links it to the 'vast and ongoing genocide of indigenous people', the slave trade and even calls traditional gingham cloth it sits on cultural appropriation

The Guardian has been mocked for branding apple pie racist after one of its writers said the treat was linked to 'a vast and ongoing genocide of indigenous people.

Writing in the famously liberal publication, food writer Raj Patel claimed the all-American dessert was born of colonialism and slavery, after highlighting how apples had first arrived in the west from central Asia 4,000 years ago.

The piece, titled 'Food injustice has deep roots: let's start with America's apple pie', claims the pie has 'bloody origins' and is 'as American as stolen land, wealth and labor.'

The natives were quite brutal to each other long before the West came around. They weren’t called savages for nothing.

The one weird trick when it comes to dealing with Cancel Mobs, is to ignore them whenever possible.
Not every group of Nosy Nags has the ability to get you fired or ruin your reputation. Most can be stridently ignored.
Let them bite on somebody elses ankles!

The left all over the world are in a war “to the death” with all things even nominally Christian derived.

Their perverted revisionist goal is mass global enslavement/subjugation to them.

The funny thing is that if you go to any of the YouTube "listicle" videos of the "Top Ten American Foods" and they happen to list Apple Pie as one of them, a flood of Brits chime in that Apple Pie was invented in Britain.

Something else to blame the Brits for. Maybe we need to separate ourselves from Apple Pie and go Apple-plexit.

In other words, the Brits are going banana’s over American apple pie.

Well, they bloody well better not mess with my German Chocolate Cake either -

Us liberty loving “round heads” can way out chef those Medieval pieces of chickweed.

when the explorers found the Americas, they found warring tribes where one day a piece of ground belonged to x group and the next day y group and the next day z group exterminated or enslaved all the others. These were the conditions of life found to the south by Columbus in the Lesser Antilles and Venezuela, DeSoto in Florida and South America, Cortez in Mexico (where some of his men were eaten), in the north and northwest by Lewis and Clark and in the Great Lakes by Champlain. Everywhere were tribes either participating in or fleeing the blood lust that ruled two continents (and the pacific islands according to Cook’s journals). Champlain’s documentation of the Beaver wars against the Iroquois and subsequent bloody conflicts between tribes targeted by Iroquois led to his insistence in 1634 that they ‘be wiped out or brought to reason’ for the decades of war and gruesome treatment of captives, both indian and settlers. His sentiments were echoed up and down the new lands as each explorer encountered their own nemisis and for 200 years afterward as settlers who built forts to protect friendly tribes continued to fall in their fields from random attacks.

So who did the land belong to that it was ‘stolen’ from? Those tribes that dominated by genocide and brutality of others, or those that conquered those bloodthirsty tribes so that other tribes could survive?

Yeah that really helped the Jews in the 30s as well as other groups. You attack and diminish people whose aim is to eliminate you. These leftists aim for the genocide of the western civilizations.

They weren’t any worse, nor any better, than the Europeans were. Pillaging and burning people at the stake was practiced on both sides of the Atlantic for ages.

The fallen nature of man, unfortunately, isn’t widely taught any more; in this period of self esteem, self preening and virtue signalling I am wondering if most people even think of themselves as guilty of anything, or failing to do anything.

Patel: Why are so many India Indians emigrants to the US,communists and red stooges? Jayapal - US Congress, for one. One of the Patel prosecutors in NY South District USAttorney’s office for another. Local elections in Virginia, Washington State, etc. have them too.

WTO protests 1999? Planned by the communists including Walden Bello a Filipino communist and college professor. This mass riot/insurrection gave birth to Antifa from the violent Red Bloc and Black Bloc anarchists/Marxists who later merged into what we have today.
