When people want to be offended and are looking for anything to claim offense at, it doesn’t matter what you do. Chips on shoulders, it’s just going to happen.

Best to minimize exposure to these people. It goes beyond color. Gender and politics are dividers too.

In the new market, just have a “Black” or “AA” foods section right next to the Hispanic foods section (which you see everywhere now). And make sure you have plenty of malt liquor in the beer cooler, and Kool cigarettes.

/DO I REALLY NEED IT?

Short time I lived in North Crolina, sometimes drove past a sould food place. What I assumed were chitlins being prepared literally smelled like feces cooking. Nauseating.

You do get to wondering how well they clean them out when you smell them cooking.

OK, I’m probably missing the whole point of this article, but DANG! People can’t walk 2 blocks for groceries!?

Apparently, it's racist not to have a supermarket on every block.

I know black people that will not touch collard greens or chitlins.

I suspect there are a lot of young black people that aren’t going to eat chitlins..let alone cook them.

Here in Alabama grocery stores have an Asian section and a Hispanic section. Whites and blacks share the rest. We both eat the same food anyway. Don’t do chitlins myself but know folks that do.

Nothing wrong with collards if they’re cooked right. Or black eyed peas & okra. Or chicken perlo & rice.

Good Lowcountry fare to people of all colors.

“Good Lowcountry fare to people of all colors.”

Absolutely. My family is of southern rural origin. A lot of what I grew up on would be considered soul food. Still love beat greens and corn bread. I wonder how many people have had a burnt sugar cake?

If there is a market to sell soul food in many mostly black areas of large cities, why aren't there entrepreneurs vying to put black-oriented grocery stores in those places?

Where is Oprah with her billions? There could be a chain of Oprah's Groceries in many "food desert" cities across the nation. Why doesn't she or some other wealthy lib build them?

” It’s an important amenity, especially for black and brown communities,” she said”

“White’ people don’t go to grocery stores. Every single one has a private chef and a large kitchen staff.
i know this is true because I once watched Downtown Abbey.

One Indian grabbed the [deer] intestines, put one end in his mouth and chewed and swallowed while his other hand stripped out the contents onto the ground.

I just finished reading Bernard DeVoto's "The Journals of Lewis and Clark" where one of those two described that incident. Later on, they saw the same thing done with buffalo intestines.

Some years back, in a book on the Western Indian Wars a buffalo hunter described how the squaws cut the intestines into small sections, dipped their knife in the liver, added a drop of bile to the gut, and handed it to the kids. He said they chowed it down like it was candy.
