it would help to now what is african cuisine...ive never seen a restaurant like i have with chinese, vietnamese, mexican, and so on
There are a few in BR and maybe a couple in NO.
Bigger cities like Houston, DC, ATL have many African restaurants. They are around you just need to look for them.
What we know To be Caribbean food is basically African food mixed with Indian Food.

I have seen one near Graceland in South Memphis, but I haven't eaten there so I don't know what's on the menu

Good pt; I've always heard traditional Mexican food is not even close to the Tex mex disguised as Mexican food that we eat today.
My pt is also that the history of those people doesn't start with captivity. Cajuns were immigrants from Nova Scotia and France, in search of a new life. Mexicans tilled this land before we took it from them. It paints a completely different perspective for our baseline of them.
We learn about great French empires and schools and I know some schools learn about the. aztecs and some of the great mexican/indigenous empires in Central America.
I think it's time we start encorporating that history knowledge to our African brother and sisters

And the natives did before the Mexicans took it.

Yes, greens and starches are big too. Fried fish dishes are big as well.
Jollof Rice - a Nigerian rice/meat dish--- is the forefather to Jambalaya.
Gumbo is basically a soup dish eaten in various African Cultures. We put our own spin on it when it came to the Americans with the Spanish/French/Native influences but I'd say it's 80% an African dish.
Collards are huge in Africa

Wouldn't that be covered with African studies...i know i see some studying that in college
The slavery deal sucks but come on we are all americans and are fortunate to live here...do all white americans learn of their heritage? i don't think so

The problem here is i bet you blame drug cartels more for supplying weed & cocaine and put less blame on the buyers...right?
No my argument is more to question why most whites use that logic. Blame the cartel not the buyers

See you are alluding to the idea that I believe all white people or even most white people are evil. That is pretty lame. What you consider facts is someone's account that fits your narrative. It was once a fact that the world was flat.

Do you think they are incapable of lying? I mean didn't you state their ancestors sell other Africans into slavery? But lying is beneath them.

that menu is incredibly healthy and yummy compared to what I see in the average AA's grocery cart these days (goes for white people too--especially poor ones).
This should be a GOOD thing.

I do not think that is the case. Then again, certain folks, especially you, have never really been bothered by the truth.

Preciate it man, it's been a long time. I'm ready to get it rocking and rolling. It seems like Gary Chambers has been doing my job since I have been in ban-land.
I've seen Gary Comment on TD.com and it wasn't nice
