[kingdizzy01]

What’s crazy is pork isn’t food, but nikkas cook it and eat it. You might as well eat a toilet boil or glass

Yes it is... and it's delicious...

 

[TheKongoEmpire]

The Bible and Quran call pigs unclean, among other animals people readily consume without objection, so that has much more to do with it than cannibalism.

Okay. So it desert, tribal, foreign god is telling black people not to eat an animal that he created?

Ok...Spit in front of a chicken,and watch what it does.

From conversations I've had with people adament about avoiding it they usually give 2 stances. 1 is it's an unhealthy food(I can get behind this but I think anything is fine in moderation, personally).

2 is the animal itself is 'unclean'. Which always made me LOL. I can make any argument any animal you eat is 'unclean'. I doubt that grilled chicken breast I had last night was on the 25th floor of the Hilton before they dragged him kicking and screaming and spilling caviar to the slaughterhouse.

I always find it hilarious that people argue over which wild animal is cleaner than the other

I don't really eat port too often because I prefer chicken but its nothing wrong with it

There's probably nothing wrong with eating pork. It can be fatty but it depends on the cut you get.

I think the issues are: how frequently are you eating it? And how are you eating it?

The occasional pork chop probably isn't so bad.
Bacon and ribs (especially if you're pairing the ribs with unhealthy sides) is probably not a good choice to have very often.

shyt is literal slave food

The main reason pork became a dominant protein in African American cuisine is slavery. Prior to the Atlantic Slave Trade, pigs were present in sub-Saharan West Africa, but they were not a major part of the indigenous diet. Even if pigs were plentiful, Islam had spread in the region since the 800s C.E., which made pork a taboo food for the burgeoning number of Muslim converts. Centuries later, slavers didn’t care what spiritual practices their human captives observed. Enslaved African Muslims were force-fed salted pork on the weeks-long journey by ship from West Africa to the Americas. The only other option was to starve.

Black folks never ate that shyt. It was foreign to us until we was forced to eat it

Pigs were domesticated in Mesopotamia, around 15,000 years ago. But up until the 20th century, consumption of pork was relatively low, and often restricted to the autumn-winter part of the year.

This thread is The Coli at its best. Entertaining & relatable topic, OP isn't judgmental while setting the tone, fun and informative information shared, bro-science and old wives tales (without the trolling) to keep the levity, and jokes and replies but no disrespect. Just dudes shootin' the shıt.

We may only get it right 3 or 4 times a year, but this is why I Coli

Regardless of y'all diet, lemme leave y'all some fly knowledge.

'Cause you are what you eat,
You eat what you can
You pray to bless the food
But first you wash your hands
To wash away them bad spirits
Don't bring it in your home
Once you let them in they stayin'
Evil be gone, say it
I'm proud of Mase for givin' himself to the Lord
Wonderin' does Faith
Think about Big anymore
Of course my nikkaa Horse got married
See shyt is changin'
We ain't these little nikkas no more
Runnin' dangerous
I like to bone
I'm a peaceful brother
Eat 'em so much the girls
Call me seafood lover
Be havin' they legs shakin'
Stab 'em, break 'em
I'm Hercules Hercules when havin' relations
The flyest

Y'all eat good now. One.

I’ve never liked anything pork-based outside of pepperoni and sausage so I just don’t eat it

Turkey Bacon > Pig Bacon IMO

 

[Big Blue]

same people drinking alcohol, smoking cigarettes and smoking blunts.

My rooomate in college would avoid pork, fast for Ramadan, and drink every weekend.
