White Man's Guilt

They should have asked for some Soul food. That would be the proper way to request it.

Which is the same food that Whites from the South and from the Appalachian region eat. Collard greens, kale, corn bread, grits, butter milk, black eyed peas, ham hocks, fried chicken, fried fish of all kinds, a lot of pork based foods. Can also be referred to as Southern Cooking or Country Cooking.

Welp, all this thread did was make me hungry.

I eat like black peoples does. I'm having ham, collard greens, and black eye peas tonight. No kidding.

It's actually leftovers from yesterday.

That's just what poor people eat Kusa, not black people.  Who the hell knows what they eat.

Looks good too. You gotta top it off with cornbread and buttermilk, though.

[KUSA]

I WISH I had some cornbread.

Poor people? I eat like this all the time. I'm just not uppity like some white folk is.

RENO, Nev. (AP) - Madeleine Pickens wanted the African-American chef she recruited from the country club she owns in Southern California to cook "black people food" - not "white people food" - at her rural Nevada dude ranch and wild horse sanctuary, according to a federal lawsuit accusing her of racial discrimination.

(from The White Man's Guilt by James Baldwin)
Do not blame me. I was not there. I did not do it. My history has nothing to do with Europe or the slave trade. Anyway it was your chiefs who sold you to me. I was not present in the middle passage.
I am not responsible for the textile mills of Manchester, or the cotton fields of Mississippi.

So, how can a man born in Finland be responsible for textile mills of Manchester, or the cotton fields of Mississippi?

The essay written by Baldwin is more than 50 years old, but from the comments I read in the internet (on American news browsers), white people will be guilty for eternity of the black slavery...

and then, children of interracial marriages, should they fill white man's guilt?

As an American explain to me, what is wrong, oppressive, racist in saying 'black people food'

I can't answer as an American, but what is wrong with it is that there is no such thing as 'black people food'.  The phrase implies that all black people eat the same kind of food...that the Maasai in Kenya have the same diet as the Zulu in South Africa who have the same diet as black Americans in Louisiana.  When you paint with so broad a brush you reveal a basic ignorance that the differences in people go far, far deeper than skin colour.  And that, my friend, is precisely what racism is, you ignorant wretch.

I am not your friend, you uppity heathen.

A phrase 'Jewish food' implies that Sephardi, Ashkenazim, Karaites, Mizrahi, Mountain Jews, Bukharan Jews eat the same kind of food. When you paint with so broad a brush bla-bla-bla...
You can ask for Jewish food, it will show know little about Jewish culture, but it doesn't mean your an anti-Semite and it doesn't mean you're responsible for Holocaust.

I'm not your friend either, simplex.

If you ask for jewish food, it's a sure way to make a fool of yourself. You may have meant Kosher food, which can come in all shapes, forms and tastes. There is no such thing as jewish food.
