Far-Left Professor Warns Beer is Inherently Racist

[MisterVeritis]

Laugh at the kooks.

[Rationalist]

Or maybe just...have a chuckle and then put them on Ignore, so to speak? Every time one of these fruitcakes comes out with a new silly theory like this, a least one thread goes up about it on this forum - and doubtless on hundreds of other forums and other websites. Why? If even a hundred people out of 328.2 million agreed with this fool that beer is racist, I'd be amazed. Seriously, why pay him any sustained attention whatsoever?

I used to agree with this approach, but a lot of things that we used to view as fringe have become mainstream.

Reparations were a ridiculous policy that only Dennis Kucinich supported back in the 90s, but in the last election cycle, all the major Democratic presidential candidates voiced support for it.

Healthcare for illegals was another fringe policy that has been supported by the Democratic mainstream.

The 1619 Project was composed of a lot of historically illiterate ideas that we used to laugh at, until they were all put together by the New York Times.

I'm not saying we should give every leftist idiot loads of attention, but we should be wary that some ridiculously stupid ideas gain traction over time.

The whole gender identity nonsense is yet another set of stupid ideas that is mainstream now as well.

I don't know what his agenda is, but Africans and Egyptians were brewing beer long before the Europeans (before there was a Europe) - just from different grains. Most cultures have some kind of traditional beer and other alcoholic beverages. Europeans also brought recipes for all kinds of other things like bread and pastries. So what? Are pies racist? The man is making bizarre correlations. Food isn't racist, nor are beverages. Maybe the marketing of beer has been racist, but then at one time marketing in America only targeted white consumers. Why single out beer? This professor is also a writer, so I can only assume that he's trying to sell books.

Lets cut through the Bull and just say anything created by White People or became part of White European Culture is Racist!

And since books in America have traditionally been written by white people for white people, it stands to reason that...oh no.

Not a joke. They reached that conclusion decades ago. That's why they have denounced Western Civ, English literature etc. They pressed for inclusion, often without any particular regard for merit, precisely because they believe that white writers are for white people.

That is the position of Critical Race Theory. Ship these people out of the country.
