>Now that Jordan Peele’s horror satire “Get Out” is No. 1 at the box office, it’s time to talk about the most insidious moment in the movie: The milk scene.
>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.
>A Mother Jones article even asked, “Are the U.S. dietary guidelines on milk racist?” citing a study that shows not every ethnic group, African Americans in particular, requires the three glasses of milk per day that the federal government recommends to combat osteoporosis.
>The source of milk’s recent spin as the beverage of choice for white supremacists is more directly the product of alt-right Internet trolling.
>And yet the parallels to “Get Out’s” disquieting dairy derangement are strangely well-timed. So what is it about the traditionally wholesome milk that nowadays feels so … evil?
>“There’s something kind of horrific about milk,” said Peele, not a dairy drinker. “Think about it! Think about what we’re doing. Milk is kind of gross.”
In other news: Water is racist, oxygen is homophobic and sunlight is sexist.

Is this what passes for film criticism and journalism nowadays?

I like kooky horror films so this just makes me enjoy the movie more. Shit's hilarious.
Dominic Flores
>offended Sup Forums faggots can't into sarcasm
Levi Sanchez
What evidence is there that the author and director are being sarcastic about milk being a symbol of white supremacy and hate?
This isn't a fucking Onion article, this was published by the Los Angeles Times, an ostensibly credible newspaper.
Ryan Rogers
>tumblr faggots dont understand sarcasm implies being disingenuous
Robert Reed
>Just two weeks before “Get Out” opened nationwide, a gaggle of Sup Forums trolls hijacked Shia LaBeouf’s anti-Trump art installation #HeWillNotDivideUs, an Internet stream in New York City intended to be a public forum of protest throughout the next four years of the Trump administration.
>The livestream was shut down after the disrupters commandeered it by spewing hate speech, dancing around shirtless, showing off Nazi tattoos and — yes — defiantly chugging gallons of milk, right from the jug, directly into the camera.
>“Hey you nonwhites: I can do this and you can’t,” mocked one white male visitor at the #HeWillNotDivideUs exhibit between performative gulps of milk while mugging for the cameras. “We must secure the future of our diet and the future for milk-drinking!”
That last bit is pretty funny.
Aaron Parker
Why is it always sarcasm?
Tyler Bailey
wtf is going on with america I thought race relations are supposed to improve with the passage of time
Gabriel Wood
...Peele has an entire dairy-free dietary lifestyle as an elaborate joke?

Kevin Sullivan
The racist neo-nazi Drumpf supporters turned back the clock for a bit. Don't worry though, they're on the wrong side of history.
Jacob Perez
Even kids understand the concept of "making something up".
Juan Taylor
>patently ridiculous claims
SJW's regularly make these and expect them to be taken seriously.
Jonathan Collins
They are improving. Soon no one will ever listen to anything a black person ever says again, and the problem will be solved.
David Perez
Maybe Peele is being tongue-in-cheek, but the author of that article certainly gives no hints at being sarcastic. She seems to take the whole "milk as a hate symbol" conspiracy seriously.
Ian Cooper
>and — yes — defiantly chugging gallons of milk, right from the jug, directly into the camera.
It's a way to retort without really saying anything
Saying it's sarcastic or ironic makes pseudo intellectuals respect you. Tim heidecker has made a career off it
Xavier Wright
How is that in any way related to Peele's joke, user?
Logan Morgan
>offended tumblr faggot can't into obvious jokes
try reading the article you dumb cunt. you see that sentence in there?
Joseph Morris
It's almost like some of these people can't recognize it when they're being fucked with.

It wasn't a joke.

Makes me think.
Michael Lee
>tfw white >lactose intolerant
Christian Cooper
Is almond milk white supremacist too?
Jaxon Russell
Well he didn't exactly refute it or disagree with their conclusion, did he? Not to mention including that scene in the first place, as a joke or not, reinforces these ideas in the minds of the viewers.
Ryan Cooper
>Jordan Peele doesn't hate white people, he just spends his life ironically shitting on white people as a joke
I hope him and his unfunny thin skinned kike wife have 24 miscarriages
lol j/k
Lucas Sanchez
What about chocolate milk?
Jack Brown
Uncle Tom beverage.
Easton Edwards
He's apparently half-white himself.
William Stewart
Your autistic train of thought doesn't make his joke any less funny.
Ian Jones
Pretty hard to get less funny than "not funny at all"
Although judging by this shitpile, that is a goal Peel aims for.
Camden Powell
Where was the joke?
William Adams
>it's sarcasm because surely my side couldn't be this fucking absurd
Wrong.
Ryan Long
The article is written as a serious discussion on the "racism" of milk, actually taking real interviews and doing investigative journalism. Nowhere does it actually acknowledge the ridiculousness of it's claims.
Don't be naive user. These writers are committed to a culture of outrage and ideology, and whatever seems more obnoxious to you in their world is something that is "bold", "new", or "brave".
Henry Cox
Sorry, but the guy is just an angry black supremacist:
He's just trying to use his shitty comedy as defence from criticism,
Brandon Anderson
He is, yes.
Joshua Collins
>he just spends his life ironically shitting on white people as a joke So do you have a problem with that when Dave Chappelle or Eddie Murphy make jokes about white people?
Charles Jones
Sure do. Thank God their careers are fucking dead.
Xavier Hill
>calling someone else autistic when you're quite literally defending "milk haters" No it doesn't work like that. Not today.
Julian Lee
>tfw drink milk every day
a-am i racist?
Christopher Rodriguez
a guy adopted by a white family and married to a white woman is a black supremacist because he hurts my feefees
Evan Brown
>quite literally throwing a tantrum over milk >not being autistic
Dominic Thompson
Dave Chapelle didn't focus on White people. To the contrary; he actually focused on Blacks in his comedy.
Chase Foster
Yes.
Nicholas Miller
So you're saying Peele is autistic now? Is everybody in the world autistic except you?
Lucas Diaz
Ironic racism is getting pretty old desu
Logan Moore
Are you saying everyone in the world hates milk?
Noah Carter
Wow, he wants to fuck white cumdumpsters, like every black guy with inferiority complex, so not racist.
He hates his white mother ( i don't blame him) and hate fuck his white hoe. The dude has issues.
Easton Moore
What does that make this """investigative report""" if I'm autistic and throwing a tantrum?
Kayden Moore
>some stupid liberals are doing this >Peele writes an article legitimizing it
Yeah, what a shock people think he condones it, shithead.
Carson Flores
Everyone except Armond White
Christian Sullivan
>The Unbearable Whiteness of Milk: Food Oppression and the USDA
Are you saying this report hosted on an academic site was done ironically? Seems like quite a stretch 2bh.
Evan Cox

I have some bad news for you
Anthony Mitchell
Chappelle made fun of everyone.
These fucks are afraid to make fun of anyone non white
Levi Hughes
HAHAHAAHAAHAAHAAHAAHAH Nothing like a tall cold one eh boys
Ryan Cook
Why do they always do this? Are they just opportunists or did they always hate whitey?
Andrew Morales
Can we so somehow trick these Neo Nazi trolls into drinking bleach next?
John Myers
I read Patton Oswald's twitter too. upvoted

That would be cultural appropriation
Thomas Ward
>A Mother Jones article even asked, “Are the U.S. dietary guidelines on milk racist?” citing a study that shows not every ethnic group, African Americans in particular, requires the three glasses of milk per day that the federal government recommends to combat osteoporosis >they can't drink milk without dying
Jordan Adams
So every time a man in Africa fucks his own daughter, he is culturally appropriating American redneck culture?
Colton Long
No? Pretty sure Africans have been doing that for 70,000+ years
William Lewis
Why so disingenuous? Why not just admit you hate white people and stop pretending to be ironic about it?
Christopher Cook
What happens in the scene?
Grayson Thompson
Did you even read the article?
>As the race-fueled carnage unfolds, it all leads up to a jarring — almost unbelievable — moment where Williams sits serenely in her childhood bedroom, headphones on, jamming out to the theme from “Dirty Dancing.” Munching on dry Froot Loops, she coolly quenches her thirst by sipping a tall glass of milk through a straw.
Ethan Allen
Drinking milk is racist
...
I don't want to live on this planet anymore
Samuel Moore
>These fucks are afraid to make fun of anyone non white
The blacks do accept Key and Peele as their own. They arent "black" enough. So while they do well with white audiences no matter the material they have to throw that black attitude in there to try and keep what little cred they have among basketball americans
Jacob Stewart
>paperboy will score the next Peele film I hope he's fucking happy
Oliver Lewis
>Neo Nazis
SO literally anyone who contradicts your SJW shit?
Juan Hughes
So not only are the reviewers stupid, they're also plebs.
It isn't about "muh white supremacy", it's someone retreating into childhood comforts.
Logan Butler
>Did you even read the article?
No, because paywall. Anyway, what's so creepy about drinking milk?
Eli Cooper
>Think about it!
Huh, never thought about it like that before.
Justin Fisher
Are cold climates racist as well? Is vitamin D white privilege?
Eli Diaz
Milk scene in the film is a comedy scene that makes the Femme Fatale look infantile.
Inherently satirical. But Klansfolk don't do satire. Why are there no great right-wing comedians?
Mason Collins
When will you guys stop harping on everything a celebrity says? This is exactly what they want. Look the other way and ignore them.
Kevin Lewis
...
Carson Lopez
Are you saying the L.A. Times writer who penned this article is a Klansman?
Jacob Wright
DOWN WITH THE VEGAN AGENDA
John Long
It's not a random celebrity, it's the director of a highly-acclaimed and commercially successful film who is revealing his intent behind certain scenes. How is that not a relevant thing to discuss?
Camden Cook
>get out
Mason Fisher
>JUST THINK ABOUT IT
There are like 10 people in the entire world which would imply this yet they are given media attention, stop overreacting
Christopher Morgan
DOWN WITH THE VEGAN AGENDA
Evan Ortiz
You know why. Don't get cute.
Cooper Robinson
No he has a dairy-free lifestyle because he's a nigger and will experience violent diarrhea from consuming milk
Levi Richardson

>>“There’s something kind of horrific about milk,” said Peele, not a dairy drinker. “Think about it! Think about what we’re doing. Milk is kind of gross.”
I think Peele might be retarded.
Jacob Wilson
>Inherently satirical. But Klansfolk don't do satire. Why are there no great right-wing comedians? I don't know. Why do the majority of the NEWS and ENTERTAINMENT media in America have JEWISH executives despite JEWS only making up about 2-3% of the population?
Sebastian Butler
The cereal scene. she had the colored cereal away from white milk
Sebastian Moore
>There are like 10 people in the entire world which would imply this yet they are given media attention, stop overreacting
Life imitates art nowadays, user. These ten people have disproportionate power to project and broadcast their views to the masses and alter their perceptions of reality. That is why their bullshit needs to be called out when it is published.
