PEANUT BUTTER AND JELLY SANDWICH IS RACIST
2013-11-22
h/t Instapundit

Did you know that eating or even talking about a peanut butter and jelly sandwich could be considered racist?

ThatÂ’s right.

Apparently, itÂ’s because people in some cultures donÂ’t eat sandwich bread. Verenice Gutierrez, principal of Harvey Scott K-8 School in Portland explained in and interview with the Portland Tribune:

#19  It is only considered racist if it is on white bread.

#17  What (I think) I remember from way back, Au Auric (#10), was Carver found a zillion uses for the peanut. I suppose it's a short hop from that to the "invention" of peanut putter. He would've been my guess, so I 'ppreciate the lesson.

#15  We have to admit McCarthy was right about the infiltration of the media and the universities by communists and leftists (is there a difference?)

The reason McCarthy was demonized was because he exposed them and the media turned on him in fear of being exposed for what they are.

#14  McCarthyism by commies using Race instead of commie hunters using Communism.

Only the Commie hunters were right...

#13  Racism is one of the Left's holy religious sacraments. Notice how, like the Medieval period when everything from daily life to any functional action of society or culture revolved around the Church, everything today for the Left revolves around racism.

#10  George Washington Carver was often credited with the invention of peanut butter. While he may have made peanut butter, the preparation arose in other cultures independently. The Aztecs were known to have made it from ground peanuts in the 15th century, and Marcellus Gilmore Edson was awarded U.S. Patent 306,727 (for its manufacture) in 1884, when Carver was 20.

Marcellus Gilmore Edson ...... George Washington Carver

#8  On the third day of Creation, God created peanut butter.

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

I think kids are capable of grasping the similarity between pita and sandwich bread.

#4  Who knew that a peanut butter and jelly sammich has more IQ points that a Portland principal.

#3  #1 Shh! Don't tell any of these idiots that peanut butter was invented by a black guy! That would give them all heart attacks!

Also, jelly is practically jam. You wanna take the jam out of schools? Saint Michael, pray for us! And bread? Who talks about bread? Jesus. Okay, skip that, even if he was black. Who else? Hippies, who got it from beatniks [beep], who got it from Cab Calloway. Some brother, anyway. So you got some jammin-ass pumpernickel [beepbeep] jellyroll peanut butter sandwitches [beepbeepbeep], and you wanna take 'em away from schoolkids? Uh. Huh. Feel like I'm back at a school board meeting.

#2  George Washington Carver ?

#1  But, but, some places don't know what peanut butter is! And in some places bread is offensive somehow? Or maybe the kids are too stupid to figure out what bread is? Or is their self-esteem harmed because they don't have bread? Are we teaching anybody that they should be hypersensitive to . . . the existence of bread? Help. I must be missing something.

Shh! Don't tell any of these idiots that peanut butter was invented by a black guy! That would give them all heart attacks!

Oh, I just had an idea on how to make the world a better place . . . .
