To celebrate July 4, the Guardian published an article to tell the people of America that one of their favorite ways of cooking, barbecue, was stolen from enslaved Africans and Native Americans.
The article is titled, "Barbecue is an American tradition – of enslaved Africans and Native Americans" and was written by Michael Twitty, who calls himself a culinary historian.
"The traditional holiday cookout has its roots in the cooperation between black and indigenous peoples struggling to get or keep their freedom from colonialists," Twitty's secondary headline reads.
"If America is about people creating new worlds based on rebellion against oppression and slavery," he writes, "then barbecue is the ideal dish: it was made by enslaved Africans with inspiration and contributions from Native Americans struggling to maintain their independence."
However, according to Twitty, Europeans took the credit from Africans: "The common cultural narrative of barbecue, however, exclusively assigns its origins to Native Americans and Europeans... Some American barbecue masters have taken to attributing the innovation of barbecue to their German and Czech ancestors."
The truth is, however, "Enslaved Africans and Native Americans had a lot in common, culinarily-speaking: they had been cooking and eating in similar ways. despite [sic] an ocean between their civilizations. It only makes sense that, when their foodways, crops, cooking methods and systems of preservation, hunting, fishing and food storage collided, that there would be deep similarities and convergences of technique, method and skill."
That led to barbecue. And in the Americans, "enslaved men became barbecue’s master chefs." If indeed whites added anything to barbecue, they just "added to a base created by black hands forged in the crucible of slavery."
Twitty concludes, "Barbecue is laced with the aspiration of freedom, but it was seasoned and flavored by the people who could not enjoy any freedom on Independence Day for almost a century."
This is so stupid. I bet cavemen all over the world learned that certain types of wood made the meat taste better and then began experimenting with seasoning.
So? Who got the patent on the Grills and Smokers?
I have reached a point where I think the only reasonable response to this sort of prattle is an instantaneous and painful fist in their mouths.
Seriously folks, they aren't even trying to be reasonable, so we shouldn't either. Just punch the little asswipes in the mouth, and repeat as necessary.
It's long past time we stopped ignoring this drivel and start making it cost them every time they spout it.
Not so! Ancient Romans used a vinegar soaked sponge on a stick. Enterprising plebeians sold them outside of public toilets.
I just may go out this afternoon and steal me some BBQ from all over the place.
Funny this, my hubby went to the store a while ago and said the patrons were using those cards for some free BBQ paid for by wages stolen by the government from hard working people. LOL
Now that is “stolen BBQ”.
These people are absolutely crazy.
If you really want to get down in the weeds with this, every color under the sun descended from Africa.
I suppose one would have to find the cave dweller who first cooked meat on a fire...
That being said, it was the Neanderthals that invented the barbecue.
Another white Leftist speaking out for Indians who don’t care about this nonsense.
Day 1:In the a.m. there is much celebration and dancing in the street, About noon, the crowds become mobs and mobs of wild, drunken vandals who begin to ravage every business in this country, mostly previously owned by whites. They burn, loot and begin fighting amongst each other. They are like packs of wild beasts and begin to murder with no regard for anyone except themselves. Decent folks of other races are locked in their homes, quaking with fear as the looting continues. The pillaging and raping reaches every single house in this country.
Day 2 until the last day: As the fires burn every single structure to the ground, many are brought to the realization that not one thing remains of civilization as they knew it. There are no banks being run, no food being given out, no tax base for taxes, no welfare checks, no electricity, no water, no doctors. There is simply no wisdom to correct or repair anything. There is no way for these worshippers of self who have, for the most part, lived off a welfare system for decades to survive except to begin eating each other.
I don't know about you but I am tired of apologizing to these accusers of the white race.
So? We stole corn from the Mexicans or Aztecs or somebody. We stole tea from China, coffee from Colombia, lasagna from Italy, flan from Cuba, borscht from Russians, and chocolate chip cookies from somebody.
In all fairness, they didn’t try to get even by stealing our work ethic, or taking our jobs.
During the recent riots I’m pretty sure I saw a few BBQ grilles being looted from the local K-Mart.
This article is utter tripe
Of course, whites developed metallurgy which led to pots, pans, silverware, spatulas, cook stoves, beer cans and Weber grills. As well as guns, engines, autos, trains, airplanes, space craft and nuclear reactors (and a few million other inventions).
So if they want to be proud about cooking over a campfire that’s OK.
To be fair, George Foreman did market a grill under his name.
Until then, they all ate cold cereal with udderly fresh milk
Actually, though I find the dish unappetizing, tripe used to be/is a European “delicacy”.
