Chef Michael W. Twitty might have something to say about that. His blog, Afroculinaria, is worth subscribing both for the food and the culture ...

One paragraph in the article is especially telling:

That point came into sharp relief after a recent article was published on the Fox News website, entitled "America's most influential BBQ pitmasters and personalities." Of the dozen named chefs and writers, not a single one was African American.

Really not trying to be political, but Fox News as a major source about racial profiles???

Nice.

You simply can't edit out the African-American and Latino populations from this conversation- they invented it!

Ehhhhhhhhh......I'll buy that the fact that these cultures are a major part of the history of BBQ...to say they actually "invented it" would not be accurate.

I know, because the white man always has the answers- even when we are stealing someone else's work.

My friend, lampooning ghetto-talk does nothing more than piss me off in this situation. Why be a jerk?

PS. I also get a kick anytime British people try to describe the American Life. 'We kicked you out a couple centuries ago- you have no idea who we are.'
