Also it has to be understood that this cultural dish saved our lives when traveling throughout the US. Due to Jim Crow laws and segregation our people were not allowed to eat nor order from white restaurants which meant our food had to already be prepared that morning before our trip and it was wrapped up in aluminum foil and placed in a shoe box so we didn’t have to concern ourselves with food on our travels. We just pulled it out when we were ready to eat. Most of us kids didn’t know what that was about because it was more or less was concealed from us.

[@freedomisoutside]

You’re right

[@ahnraemenkhera7451]

Wealthy southerners did, too! Farming cuisine is relatively a staples-based diet that’s germane to regions, to crops produced, animals bred to slaughter. Affordability and access came into effect under similar conditions, globally. Where a land owner could expect to dine more frequently on “delicacies,” sweets, & imports, those persons either working as tenant farmers, sharecroppers, industrial farm/plantation overseers and servants could expect whatever a landlord issued as his/her “food stipend” to them, & any earnings they might use to go to the cost of foods. These people, however, still enjoyed the benefit of being counted as “people” in all societies. In the Southern USA-concept, slaves most particularly were not. I don’t know what documentation the vlogger is drawing from when he cites “many slaves” being allowed to raise livestock & chickens independently. He only mentions one (1) whistle stop documented as a “market” for the sales of fried chickens, directly to passengers on trains. But I doubt that practice was commonplace-excepting in places where those slaves were leased-out to some industrial factory or millworks & had much more autonomy to move about. During the 1840s-50s, that might’ve been a regular occurrence in SOME circumstances-but those still would’ve been exceptional outliers in a region that was mostly rural & agricultural throughout the 18th-20th centuries. Its city-concepts to this day remain as 30 to 50 sq. miles, surrounded by areas with no such over-developed, polluted, traffic-gorged, densely-packed populations as cities abroad & MUCH older have had since 1,000 AD, or before. The so-called Industrial Age phased-out the livelihoods & agrarian diets as well. The vlog simply did a poor job of drawing the pertinent connections to the topic-as well as failed to explain what was even meant in the thumbnail.

My historian husband said that even the Vikings had a version of fried chicken. What's new is like the narrator said, the fusion with the tasty spices. I cook with spices as fatty foods are hard on me. I applaud the people for their ingenuity and creativity in coming up with the blend. That is what a chef does. They didn't whine or complain, they improvised and improved an otherwise bland dish. Haggis is Scottish dish. The Scottish aren't known for their culinary delights. That's why you don't see Scottish restaurants popping up in the US. Spices come from warm to hot climates. Darker skinned people come from those same climates well adapted to live in those environments that milk white flowers just can't handle 😢. So in spite of "white pride", they have to admit that they are not adapted to the land and sun of tasty spices and tasty food. That's why they Europeans were going everywhere, home was bland and foreigners had spices. They could have, should have behaved better and respectfully instead of arrogantly. However arrogance is not just in "white " people, every culture has it, Yes, I went there and said that. It's a human race problem. Oh and we're one race, that is human.

I'm a 70 year old black man who went out this past weekend looking for looking for some fried chicken and after going to a Popeyes and two King Soopers (Chester Fried) I found some finally after the fourth place I went Point I'm making is that the white people in my community eat more Fried chicken than anyone else 😊

[@robenalexander2387]

Who else got hungry listening to the video lol

[@romano54321]

Fried chicken shouldn’t be a black or white thing, everyone loves it. From the video, I learned that the Scottish invented it and black culture spiced it up.

Look liar don't play with me jerk! Here is some food for thought information! Watermelons are thought to have originated in the Kalahari Desert of Africa around 5,000 years ago. The earliest recorded harvest of watermelon was in Egypt and like it or not Egypt is still in Africa! In 2013 I happened to read it in the Webster Dictionary by accident asshole and I'm being nice!

What is so funny about WP is they sit and talk about us with chicken, oh and watermelon they talk about us with eating it. But who is the ones that eat it more than us, and do a lot of videos with making drinks with the watermelon, and make a meal with chicken. Like I feel as though jealousy is a factor against us period. No matter what we do or have.

Very insightfully written and applied, much more than foodie review. Using a beloved food as a narrative vehicle for social commentary was brilliant and insightful. Thankyou.

[@MsWillaf]

interesting to know but now I know why some black people don't like fried chicken to this day or watermelon.

[@slimpickens01]

That's because the folks have shamed us out of spaces we were dominating. Watermelon is interesting, after the Civil War black men would sell it roadside. No different than it is today with roadside bbq. I still enjoy both. Yet when you go to a fried chicken restaurant you will notice 2 things. The owner is the folks and the customers are too. That's greatly disappointing when you consider that black people created Buffalo Wings, Hot Chicken, and good ol Southern Fried yet the folks take the credit. Across the country you have these Prince's Nashville Hot Chicken type restaurants popping up and we don't have a lock on it. They are also working on trying to compete with their own version of Turkey Leg Hut and Lesbbq Oxtails!

[@Parakeetfriend4215]

Credit should always go to where credit is due. Ewembawhep. The Lion Sleeps Tonight was taken from Africa too, but the tribe gets no royalties or credit from it.😢
