As if that wasn't enough the damn Europeans appropriated their techniques!

“Africans used smoking to preserve foods from the tropical climate, and also from pests.” What we know as modern smoking is largely by design, a blend of Native and African techniques that European colonizers appropriated, adding their own techniques. However, Native American and African ways of smoking took time, a sparse resource in slavery. “The British and German culture of smoking was more convenient [for the master],” Twitty explains. “They [enslaved Africans] didn’t have a lot of time on their hands.”

Why is cultural appropriation bad? Why would someone actively continue to not use a better technique or method?

So smoked sausage is racist now??

Why is appropriation a bad thing? 1) the appropriator isn’t permanently taking away anything. 2) for the person/group doing the appropriation they are inherently signaling that they value what they are appropriating, hence the other person/group is providing something useful. If anything, the latter group should feel proud of their accomplishment.

Another way of looking at this is the europeans added new world techniques to their own. The original statement comes from the framework that everything Europeans did in the new world was bad.
This Twitty fellow doesn’t realize that the slave experience varied widely. Some may have had more time and resources than others. Even with little individual spare time he appears to assume that slaves couldn’t have figured out a way to spread the labor and or smoke for a large group. I can think of just as many reasons that they could smoke their own meat as I can that they could not. But that’s not the intent of the article.

Didn't European cultures( Scandinavia) cure fish / seafood ? Asia ?
Maybe curing & smoking are different ?

Kamados were invented in Japan like 3000 years ago, so thankfully my BBQ pit isn't racist.

Ever noticed that every time the evil WHITE Man "appropriates" something, he invariably makes it light years BETTER ?

Big bad whitey got pretty far in this world without knowing how to do anything for themselves.
