When a community has a large, robust upper-middle and upper class, their members have enough room to breathe and relax and prioritize craftsmanship. Because of that prioritization, you see amazing results.

But when we don't have that psychological safety, we see everything as a come up - whether we originally liked cooking or not.
This topic alone deserves a deeper dive because it's the root of a lot of quality control issues in the black community

Ive always made this argument from the perspective of media instead of food tho

A lot of our people eschew craftsmanship in favor of strict bag chasing, with very little regard to improving quality or constructive introspection. Tyler Perry is a shining example of this

This same line of thought is also why black folks avoid taking risks
, in a world where strategic risk taking is how people often come up the strongest

We often "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" ourselves into a pit of stagnation, while other races are constantly watching the things we do to see how they can refine and codify it for themselves

She’s spitting facts why are some of you all so damn sensitive I didn’t see anything she said that wasn’t true. I can take Atlanta and look at most other larger cities and it’s the same thing.

I live in Atlanta she right on some of the points.


No she doesn't Atlanta has a vibrant Black restaurant culture.










Some of you just hate Black people and think anything Black is inferior.

Nice glasses, her having a fat face but skinny ass arms is throwing me off tho

Anyway, I understand what she is saying. Every city with a sizable black population is going to have restaurants/lounges/clubs that have buzz in the community for reasons other than the food or service. Maybe it's the spot to be , a celebrity owns it, or it's just new and people flocking there on some fomo shyt. They know their spot is going to be packed regardless so alot of times the food and/or service is trash
Steak48 in Philly, Peter Thomas spots, Park at 14th in DC, Turkey Leg Hut, BQE on Edgewood, Olde Lady Gang etc

i hate these broads who just be babbling online with their negativity....its like they do everything in the power to discredit black people....she dosen't specify any unique problem with black resturants....she actually says what alot of resturants do in general, but acts like its unique to black resturants.

"Black people open resturants to make money, not because of the love of cooking"..........:snoop:
Well, they ain't gonna make no money so they better love cooking

Gold level of service went down the drain a long fuking time ago. People stopped eating out not just because it can be expensive, but you ain't getting your monies worth. You can make something comparable at home fraction of the cost and none of the headache. This ain't just a black restaurant issue, it's an industry wide issue.
