13515659, The Delectable Negro book Posted by 3CardMolly, Sat Jan-11-25 10:22 AM
I saw it pushed on tiktok with some glutinous white guy yelling about how Nat Turner’s body was eaten by white folks.
According to chat, the book examines ‘the literal and figurative cannibalization of Black bodies during slavery in the United States. Published in 2014, the book explores the intersections of race, sexuality, consumption, and power dynamics in American history.’
This doesn’t surprise me however what does is that the author Vincent Woodard (black man known for writing religious relationship books) passed in 2008. However the guys that put out the delectable negro are two white college professors, one in African American studies.
How tf does this type of sh!t keep happening? Why are white people still being allowed to teach AfAm studies? Why are we still hawking over our family goods to those that have rarely done us mildly good only to have them distort them and profit for decades if not centuries?
