Is the racism claim going a little too far?

OMG Peanut Butter & Jelly Sandwiches Are Now….RACIST?

With so many sensitive "politically correct" issues arising in the 21st century. The truth is we are now living in a society where even food can be deemed racist....

Flat out ridiculous. Culturally insensitive to eat bread... The PC police are insane, period.

Is this what is going to pass as a discussion?
a) It is a "story" from 2012
b) The only thing that Gutierrez actually said about the PB&J is that "Americans eat it."
c) All else is a 100% fabrication intended to engender mistrust and hate.

I was raised with peanut butter on my pancakes - which seems to be repugnant to some peoples, pancakes are bread, when I put peanut butter on my pancakes, and people in the unit were saying "get a rope' I would use the race card, saying "it's a Norwegian thing" whereupon they had to drop it, cause I made it a race thing

It's getting beyond ridiculous. Stories just came out about the N.O. Saint's symbol, the flure de lis, being racist. What is happening is that so much of this fake offense has happened that its causing actual racism is being diluted.

This topic honestly has nothing what so ever to do with the current sociopolitical issue of racism. This is nothing more than baiting a heated response, which you should be above SSG Robeck.
