Milk: The new symbol of racism in Donald Trump’s America
ANALYSIS/OPINION:

If you drink milk, you may be a neo-Nazi racist.

No joke.

This week, in the Daily49er, California State University’s college paper staff writer Samantha Diaz wrote how milk has become the new symbol of hate.

“You, along with the rest of the nation, have been so accustomed to hearing the benefits of milk that you probably didn’t even realize the subtle racism hidden in our health facts,” Ms. Diaz pens.

She continues: “It may not surprise you that the United States was founded on racism. That every institution we uphold has racist roots that are sometimes difficult to catch and even harder to fight against. This phenomenon affects our voter ID laws, state testing and, yes, even our federal dietary guidelines. But how can our health guidelines, a system meant to be built upon scientific fact alone, have racist messages? Where there is a deep-rooted tradition to suppress an entire race’s existence, there’s a way.”

And yes, it all comes down to milk.

“The federal endorsement of milk in American diets contributes to the problem by uncritically pushing people to drink milk, despite the potential detriment it has on non-white people’s health,” Ms. Diaz wrote. “Our current federal dietary guidelines urge people to drink three cups of milk a day, according to the 2015-2020 Dietary Guidelines for Americans. The main health benefit of milk is to guard against osteoporosis, a disease that weakens your bones — hence the ‘stronger bones’ rhetoric. While this is a very practical health benefit, osteoporosis affects Africans at a significantly lower rate than it does most Americans.”
Thereby, milk may do a white person’s body good, but it doesn’t a black body, thereby it’s racist.

If you think Ms. Diaz analysis comes out of left field, you’d be wrong. Last month, online news publication Mic.com wrote an article titled: “Milk is the new, creamy symbol of white racial purity in Donald Trump’s America.”

Why you may ask?

Well, because an anti-Trump installation at the Museum of the Moving Image in New York City featured a live-stream of neo-Nazis drinking milk by the gallon.

“Amid all the tattoos of Third Reich iconography bouncing around, one thing stood out: The neo-Nazis were all drinking milk,” Mic wrote. “They spat it out as they danced, letting it dribble down their chins.”

It continued: “Some white supremacists think white ethnic identity has a geographic, historical correlation with the body’s tolerance for milk — specifically, the production of the lactase enzyme that allows humans to break down lactose.

On 4chan, the internet’s hate speech hit factory, one anonymous poster laid this thesis out using the following graphic from a study in Nature, showing hotspots of where certain populations have higher milk tolerances,” the online magazine reported.

Oh wow.

But left-leaning news organizations are leaning in on this argument.

Last year, Mother Jones contemplated whether the U.S. dietary guidelines on milk were racist, concluding: “The medical community has yet to frame its questions in ways that investigate whether foods that have been culturally labeled as ‘good for you’ have deleterious consequences for minorities.”

And this month, in an interview with the Los Angeles Times, “Get Out” director Jordan Peele explained the link between milk and hate, and how he depicted it in his movie on racial bigotry in the modern age.

In the scene, an actress sits in her bedroom, with her headphones on listening to the theme from “Dirty Dancing,” snacking on Fruit Loops and drinking milk through a straw.

As the Times explains: “Milk, it has been argued of late, is the new symbol of white supremacy in America, owing to its hue and the notion that lactose intolerance in certain ethnicities means that milk-absorbing Caucasian genetics are superior.”

“There’s something kind of horrific about milk,” Mr. Peele told the Times. “Think about it! Think about what we’re doing. Milk is kind of gross.”

So there you have it. Got Milk? Then you’re probably a Nazi. LOL.

I made it halfway before quitting reading in disgust. What a racist POV - if it doesn't benefit very many black people then it's racist.

this is old news haha, the "OK" sign with your fingers is racist too... I'm not kidding.

I no longer listen to their drivel.

Still, in this case I got as far as drinking milk makes me racist.

Come, Ms. Diaz, accuse me to my face of being a racist because I drink milk. I fucking double dog dare ya.

ETA: If milk is racist, so is brown rice, black eyed peas, black beans...

What if you drink Chocolate milk.....

I have three teenage boys. They go through milk like Sherman through Georgia.

I drink it too. And I put heavy cream in my coffee. Whitening my black beverage with super-duper whiteness, must make me super-racist.

But if I drank coffee black, wouldn't that mean that I am consuming (and thus symbolically oppressing) blackness? Especially since coffee drinking began in Africa so it's cultural appropriation straight up.

Does mixing chocolate in the milk make it a melting pot metaphor?

Do I have to add salsa too?

Fenris, i'm pretty sure it just makes you even more RACIST, you Racisty racist racist... RACIST.
And the salsa, pure cultural appropriation and...(wait for it).. definitely RACIST.

I guess that you can find (make up) racism anywhere if you look (try) hard enough

Shoes. Most racists (and Nazis) wear shoes. But poor people can not afford shoes. Thus, shoes (and boots) are racist.

Well, there you go.

Snowflakes everywhere you look, which is odd, given the climate.

Oh, and is research on sickle-cell anemia racist? That predominately benefits one race, too. Just wondering, snowflake.

Better toss in some soy sauce, too, just to make sure all the bases are covered.

I don't know if I should laugh or cry. Only a person with single Common Sense Quotient, triple digit Irrationality Quotient, would write such stuff. And only such a person would believe such stuff. However, the US has an abundance of such people, CA has much more than their share.

So what comes out of a nursing black mother's teets? Grape soda?

So...schools could be racist for serving it in their cafeterias?

Michelle O made schools quit selling sugary drinks, so she messed up by not getting rid of Milk too? Water may be next, it is pretty light.

I skimmed the article and I usually just read what other members post, since I am in a crap mood I will post especially with the 19 people who just moved into the house next door. So after seven years of peace and quiet, in just three days, it looks like a mix between used car lot and a construction company.

So it seems that you are a racist if you:

Pay your bills
Actually have a job and go to work to pay your bills.
Are dependable
Follow the traffic laws
Are a productive upstanding citizen
Have morals, honor and integrity
Served your country
Own firearms, like to fish, hunt, shoot etc..

Etc.. Etc...

Oh plus eat your vegetables and drink milk.

Can I please go back to the 80's
And where is that comet, to Clorox the gene pool.

If you don't try to curb your racism, then you're racist.
If you do try to curb your racism, then you're racist.

Steve explains it here:

I'm sure I give a fuck, I just can't remember where I put it.

Paging Ms. Diaz and all the other contributors to this insane nonsense, please report to Gate 51 and GTFO of the country.
