PETA:  PETA is now claiming that “Milk is a symbol of White Supremacy.” PETA’S shenanigans vary from the absurd to the downright offensive. PETA’s efforts to “save the animals” always make the headlines—and with good reason: they’re completely absurd. The Animal Rights group released a new video to cry over milk, equating the nutritious drink with NAZISM. “Did you know that milk has long been a symbol used by white supremacists”? It’s an alternative fact accompanied by equally ludicrous video, which they published on social media. They call milk the neo-Nazi drink of choice, stating that it has “long been” a symbol used by white supremacist groups as a “thinly veiled allegory for racial purity.  Read this in an email to me on April 2, 2017 from Liberty Headlines.
