sometimes people make a joke out of foods and drinks, like "chicken is black" or "kool aid (red) is black" or "kool aid (purple) is black" and this doesn't make sense to me.

i went to the deli just now and bought a chocolate nutrament and a pack of black & milds. i was just walking by the train station drinking my chocolate nutrament and smoking my black & mild and a young guy yelled "yo, stop trying to be black" at me. this was unnerving. the only time i've ever tried to be black was when i converted to islam and even then i didn't go the bowtie route so i don't even think that counts. i just wanted to drink something with 35% of the daily value of 24 vitamins and minerals and 16g of protein to help build muscles while i smoked something richer and more satisfying than some dumb cigarette.

what makes these items "black" and why is it bad to "try to be black" by eating/smoking them?



i know people like to have a laugh and make a joke out of things here but i'd like serious answers.

i know :( black & milds are very unhealthy. i grew up in a household where smoking was commonplace and everyone scoffed at the health warnings, i started smoking at a young age and i've never been able to quit for more than six months (i was doing heroin at the time so really i just replaced one addiction for another cooler but equally bad addiction i suppose)

I love um!
Black people, in addition to being categorized by the anthropologically specious term "race," constitute a sub-culture in our society. Although it would be more accurate to study individual communities instead of considering them a singular mono-culture, it is still possible to attribute certain aspects of behavior to a "black" cultural identity and the relation of "black" culture with society at large. Fried chicken and cool aid are considered "black" because they are associated with this "black" cultural identity. Similar associations exist such as English people with tea and Chinese people with rice. I love dudes.

i guess maybe from the collective perceptions of ppl over time who observe that certain things seem to be especially preferred by african-americans (or any other race or ethnicity), however proclaiming that things are "black" or "white" outloud and being truly sincere about it means u are an complete imbecile though and that u are at ease with shamelessly sharing this with the general public. hth

a few years back there was an aussie tv commercial where a white dude gave some black ppl a bucket of tasty fried chicken and white american liberals found out about it and raged so hard you'd think a dentist had killed a lion or something. the aussies black and white alike were very confused by the american reaction.

so op it doesn't matter why things are black just that you have to be careful about black things or white americans will get pissed. hth.
