Some people in the hood don,t know what vegan is or means , this is one thing that,s lacking in the black community . You can,t blame the people because they don,t teach veganism in school and the only way you would find out about it is that someone mention it to you , and that is just what i do . Being a black vegan i want my people to know the life that they could have without consuming meat . People in the black community is dieing at an alarming rate because of ignorance of a better way to eat . By me knowing that there is a diet that can prevent heart disease , cancer and stroke i get out here in these street and spread the word to my people and any people that will listen . People in front of the chicken shacks laugh at me when im standing in front of the local greasy spoon with a stick with pictures of dead animals on them letting them know how their meat looked before it was fried and cooked . I spread this word not just for myself but for people to know that there is another way and that life can be different , instead of eating french fries eat a backed potato , instead of eating a hamburger eat a veggie burger . If black vegans want to change the hood and the mentality of the hood we must spread the word no matter who thinks we are a joke while doing it , we must leave a good footprint in our community .
