I need to let you know that you need to read and receive different narratives about Black food culture. By Black I'm referring to self-described, opted in people of African descent. Yes. This is a thread.

High on the Hog, Hog and Hominy, Soul Food, The Jemima Code, and many others including The Cooking Gene are very different takes on specifically African American culinary narratives. More stories can and must be told by different voices.

The Cooking Gene isn't just African American culinary history. It is framed in terms of the journey of an individual... me...&the types of families my journey represents...The South&Great Migration...but back to the source Africa and the African Atlantic world as a whole.

Here's the bottom line....the blanket kids gloves treatment given to the #January6th crowd has centuries lasting potential for all further public disobedience, protest&response. The free for all at the U.S. Capitol means the double standard has now meant critique is meaningless.

I don't remember anyone blaming music, or attire or parenting skills or culture or color on #January6th and if you plan to test me...white supremacy can infect anyone...

But tonight there will be right wing vitriol. There will be low key calls for neo-eugenics, there will be shaking of heads by hired Black right-ists who will tweet as their masters bid them....

Part of being Black is telling white people who say "You should be offended..." that every single day we negotiate and navigate where our battles lie, and while their concern is appreciated, what we choose to confront individually is a matter of personal choice and mental health.

And not really their business....

While we are at it...also respect a groups humor and the things you will never grasp. Not everything is for you or within your realm of understanding. All culture is not community property or breachable just because you believe in the sketchy concept of "universality..."
