racism in cooking

goddamn!!!!!!!!! will this country ever learn that HATE destroys country's....well since that ism, the race-ism has been fought against since 1700's, I just don't know. Racism Defeated, who knows. The only thing is to RESIST and let these clowns know that they will know that they are in a fight. They will bleed and die also. I have always told a racist, come and get some, you'll know you were in a fight..........put whatever word or words you please. Still say it at 70.

Have not seen it, but I shall.

Copied from African-american forum: Recursion posted it, I just know it's true
Anybody watched "Ugly Delicious" with David Chang?
My wife and I (both foodies) just finally got around to watching it. The crawfish episode is to die for. But the fried chicken episode is really making me think.

Chef Chang seems to have this overriding idea throughout the series about "authenticity" being a dangerous idea, that creates a burden we don't need to carry. But he gives so much airtime to people who push back against that. The fried chicken episode really breaks that down most clearly to me. You have a generation of African American chefs who created the various fried chicken cuisines throughout the country, who are now being commercially overtaken by white chefs with more financial backing. But it's not like the white chefs are just Columbusing; their grandmothers cooked them fried chicken every Sunday too (that was something that surprised me when I finally escaped the South: what I thought of as "food" is, thanks to the Great Migration, "soul food" in most of the country.

Anyways, just curious if anybody had seen the show and, if so, what thoughts y'all had.

some of these responses

show the desperation of so many against so few and the desperate are still losing their power to control, even thought. POC have an important role to play in this human drama called life. No one is going to change that. Calling AA "racist" against white women? Ludicrous

GO Lebron. A true man of the community resisting open racism of the people like DeVos. Who, by the way, has not commented on this quality contribution to the education of Akron's at risk'children. Oh, I forgot she out of touch on her 165 foot, seaquest somewhere

RESIST all who would disparage AA and POC in general.

just getting

out of hand. Why do white people hold so much hate for AA? especially. Cause we want the same rights they have and they just can't have it threatened, it being their white privilege and entitlement to feel they are better than any black person up to and including a very competent and loved POTUS and FLOTUS? Geez these people like this and those arriving in D.C. are dumptrump's footsoldiers, brownshirts as it were, with Hitler. I am not fooled. When this goddamn POS called potus is finally run out of office, shit will hit the fan racially, on the class level and culturally. This country is headed for bad, bad times

about a stupid fool posing as a potus

never forgotten. I hope he can get back into our political lives, helping to protect the country from the Party of Putin/GOP./NPA/WSP

well jimmy

Fox News 'journalists' ARE the enemy of truth. Period. No one on the far right, unless unhinged, will attack Fox News. The rest? Open Season declared by dumptrump. I know that the hate he saw, directed to him at the last dumptrump rally has him terrified inside....that's easy for me to say, see, feel. But I understand the motive here in your CYA program. I would too if I was on dumptrumps, SHS shitlist.

First, they came for the anti-trump journalists, I said nothing. Then they came for CNN, MSNBC, all leftist internet news/information, I did nothing. Then they came for anti-trump, teachers, intellects, I said nothing. Then they came for Hispanics and their children, I couldn't stop them. Then they came for Muslims, I could not stop them. Then the came for African-Americans against trump, I couldn't stop them. Then they came for LGBTQ persons, I could not stop them. Then a war using tactical nuclear weapons happened, started by an unhinged wannabe dictator against one of his dictator buds, to try to save his neck and presidency, I could do nothing but die. Then only racist white people walked the streets of Amerika, unafraid.

Oh wait, they have always had the freeequalandunafraidpass. dumb me...geez

If this administration continues as is, enabled by the Party of Putin/GOP, amerika is in serious, dangerous trouble.
