According to AOC, support for environmental policies like the Green New Deal would be stronger if minorities weren’t being subtly coerced into growing colonial cauliflowers in their communal gardens.
Ocasio-Cortez: ‘Colonial’ Cauliflower in Community Gardens Makes Minorities Avoid Environmentalism
By Joshua Caplan 20 May 2019

“What I love too is growing plants that are culturally familiar to the community. It’s so important,” the 29-year-old freshman congresswoman said while filming herself strolling through a community garden in the Bronx.

“But when you really think about it — when someone says that it’s ‘too hard’ to do a green space that grows Yucca instead of, I don’t know, cauliflower or something — what you’re doing is that you’re taking a colonial approach to environmentalism, and that is why a lot of communities of color get resistant to certain environmentalist movements because they come with the colonial lens on them,” she argued.

Presumably a bit of global warming will likely expand the growing range of Yucca, so we’re good. You can relax, Alexandria eyebrows.

I am glad I’m old enough to have learned useful things in school. Education today is dominated by neo-Marxists. They spoon feed Howard Zinn and the like to students without anything to balance that propaganda.

She actually is so dense that she thinks it is “colonialism” not to be able to grow yuca in Bronx? I mean stupid politicians isn’t uncommon unfortunately, but AOC really is exceptional.
She’s walking through a neighborhood that is essentially a colony of Latin Americans in the US. How logically challenged can she be? It’s not our fault that a bunch of people from a tropical climate decided to head north to a place where few of their native foods would grow. Maybe we should stock the Great Lakes with bluefin tuna and swordfish as well.
As a side note, I wasn’t aware that the Green New Deal included introducing invasive species to new regions.
I always look forward to AOC’s daily joke .
She is having people on and driving the old guard Democrats to nervous breakdowns .
Go AOC go .
