Yea bro lemme just stop my culture real quick cuz u dont approve. Like wtf lol

do you like chitlins?

this is not what i'm saying at all please read the thread

Im from uptown so amy ruths and Sylvia’s & light house keep me well fed

Tried it not my cup of tea 😂

it's foods like that

that i'm mostly talking about

there is no reason any human should be eating that

and i'm standing on that

I get what youre saying it connects back to slavery but nah. Soul food is entrenched in my family. I can only imagine how good s*** be in places like georgia n louisiana god damn like the dirty dirty south.

Sorry op its just not happening. We might as well cancel singing too with this logic. Not trynna be a d*** but i just don't see eye to eye with this mentality. Yes as a people we were enslaved and that will forever be apart of our history and culture. Many traditions will align with that and food is just one of them.

Love sylvias cornbread

but you can understand why some people feel like we shouldn't just accept that and keep it moving, right?

that's all im saying

i don't expect everyone to see it the way i do

but as long as we can discuss it

i'm happy

i appreciate your thoughts

s*** is scrumptious

i believe we all should have the freedom to do as we please

but i also feel like we shouldn't demonize the people who are interested in taking new paths

and i feel like too often that's the case

i don't feel that i've been aggressive toward anyone in my stance

and i really try to be understanding to everyone else's perspective

i feel that we all should be this way

nahmean

So fire

i don’t speak for everyone in the south but i think most of us would rather die than live in a world without soul food

why do you think that is?

is it the food itself or the memories associated with it?

Soul food slaps

Man if someone likes the taste of something, why does it matter

Why would we stop eating something that tastes good?

I ain’t even black and I’ll be eating soul food for life

maybe i'm an idealist

but i see how talented black people are

i just feel like if we put our heads together

we could come up with something that truly nourishes us

how powerful of a statement would it be to pushback against what was given to us and choose something new to champion going forward?

we of the black delegation appreciate your support on this matter

it doesn't, dorito

it doesn't

So what direction would you take it?

maybe something inspired by african cuisine

i've been doing a lot of studying about Kemet

and other early african leaders etc.

it just always baffled me that we associate our culture with soul food

when you do a lil research you learn that

we as black people are so much more

and so something along those lines is what we need imo

i know that doesn't speak to specifics

but i'm not a chef so

lol

why finland?

I feel like soul food is African inspired to some extent tho.

Side note: you think UK niggas got their own version of soul food
