[D-Finney31789]

If you look at our history, you’ll see that we didn’t have the same privileges as everyone else. Until the 1950s or 60s, their weren’t as many upper-middle class or rich blacks. We had to eat what was affordable. During the times of slavery, we had to really live on the land. There was no one telling us that we shouldn’t eat this or that. We were disposable. Plus, we lost our culture. Yes, we know the continent we came from, but we don’t know the country. So, we don’t have a specific cuisine. We can change the way we eat, and a lot of blacks are. Every person who is black does not eat or like fatty foods. And really, the cuisine you call black can be considered soul food, but it also is a Southern style of food. Lots of whites from the South eat it, too.
