While I understand the defensiveness of people being told they're eating "slave food" because it feels as if they're being judged or attacked because of their diet, denying the historical fact that the less desirable and least expensive parts of pigs were given to slaves is just silly.
Stating the obvious that pigs have been eaten in various places around the world doesn't somehow change the fact that this diet was commonly fed to slaves.
Show me one historical fact that states that chitterlings were a slave food and not a food consumed by all Southerners and by people from all socioeconomic classes around the world.
You can’t (outside of some self hate spewing pamphlet you got from some oil and incense peddling bum) because it’s bullshyt.
