Ocasio-Cortez Issues Bizarre Judgement on ‘Colonial’ Nature of This Specific Vegetable

By The Blaze. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) bizarrely identified the planting of a specific vegetable in neighborhood communal gardens as a “colonial” act that turns off minorities on environmentalism.

The upstart socialist Democrat outed the cauliflower as the colonial culprit in an Instagram post touting her enlightened preference for woke plants, like Yucca.

“What I love too is growing plants that are culturally familiar to the community. It’s so important,” Ocasio-Cortez said in the post.

“That is such a core component of the Green New Deal is having all of these projects make sense in a cultural context,” she explained, “and it’s an area that we get the most pushback on because people say, ‘Why do you need to do that? That’s too hard!'” (Read more from “Ocasio-Cortez Issues Bizarre Judgement on ‘Colonial’ Nature of This Specific Vegetable” HERE)

AOC: Growing Cauliflower Is ‘Colonial Approach’ to Vegetables

By Washington Examiner. “So that’s really how you do it right. That is such a core component of the Green New Deal is having all of these projects make sense in a cultural context, and it’s an area that we get the most pushback on because people say, ‘Why do you need to do that? That’s too hard,’” Ocasio-Cortez said in another Instagram video of her walking the streets of New York after leaving the community garden.

“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,” Ocasio-Cortez said.

Only things we *can’t* plant are sunflowers🌻, corn🌽 , mint🌱, & strawberries🍓.

Aside from that, the world is our community garden 🌞
