Farmers markets are indicative of a time when slaves and servants were forced to work on farms for no or low wages, and then sell the bounties at the behest of capitalist white slavers at the markets. Thus, farmers markets are rooted in white supremacy and injustice, and should be abolished in the name of antiracism.
You are nuts
Perhaps we should change the name to local food grower bazaar? Bazaar is Egyptian I believe.
Barb, changing the name to Bazaar is cultural appropriation. Do better.
In this crazy world, I can’t tell if you’re kidding or a blithering idiot.
I’ll go with the former, it’s pretty funny either way.
Hahaha I can’t tell if you are taking the piss out of everyone. Funny stuff though.
I’m here for the comments!
