European colonizers appropriated, adding their own techniques.
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.

How much longer until frS.S. Posts about how white people invented fried chicken
Didn’t it come from Scotland or Ireland?
Frying meats has been around in Europe since the Roman era, but yes, Scots and Scotch-Irish were the groups that introduced it into the New World.

Edward “Skippy” Williamson and Frederick “Jif” Armstrong – two white men – stole George Washington Carver’s recipe for peanut butter, copyrighted it, and reaped untold fortunes from it. While Dr. Carver died penniless and insane, still trying to play a phonograph record with a peanut.

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

Don't know- but I sure like BBQ.

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.

Thats a bit of reach, do you get triggered at everything you read, even freaking cooking articles?
Odd response, considering the article was written by a triggered SJW, who is skewing history to paint a false narrative.
Pssst....Wakanda isn't real.

And yet their grasping comes nowhere close to the grasping in the article.

So will i be a racist for firing up my big ol' Pitt Boss smoker this weekend?
Just asking, not that it will stop my planned load up of 3 racks of ribs, 2 meatloafs, 2 chickens, and some pork loin roasts and chops :)

I can see where you would think this if you believe the leftist concept of appropriation is benign and you had a very basic and monolithic understanding of slavery as it was actually practiced.

Nah, the article is subtle in it's SJW angle. Did indians and native africans smoke their meats? Yes. So did every single indigenous people to a geographical area. Smoking was a way to preserve meats. The nordic clans did it, and (gasp) they were white. The mongolians did it. The indians did it. The africans did it. Literally every continent from the beginning of time, smoked meat to preserve it. Especially once humanity began settling down, and nomadic culture started dying away. There had to be ways to sustain a tribe whilst settling in a single place. Agriculture was the main component, but they also needed ways to preserve meat.

Yeah. It literally mentions the British and German also had methods to smoke meat.
It never once claims that blacks inventing smoking meat.
It seems obvious to me that African methods of smoking would have influenced the methods of smoking meat in the South though, no? Which is exactly what the article is about.

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.”

“At one point eating yellow corn was considered unacceptable because it was used as animal feed. In South Carolina, there are festivals celebrating okra and chitlins. In France, chitlins are considered a delicacy, but when you come to the South, it’s associated with poor Black people who were enslaved by white people.

I don't understand that anytime a white person does something blacks do it's cultural appropriation. I didn't realize blacks have ownership over so much. And when can we start calling black people out with European/white appropriation with their wig wearing and dying their hair blonde?
