Someone asked me the other day , if it,s so important for black people to stop eating meat in the hood where are all the black people that are supposed to wake us up to a better way of eating . In my opinion most black people that are vegan are a different breed of vegan than i am , most of these black vegans have found the fountain of youth by eating plants and they have went on the side of how can i make money off of this . There are a block of black people in the urban area who have never heard of the word vegan before , it,s not because they are stupid of ignorant it,s because no one ever told them growing up because most of us where raised on the slave diet . It all starts from the parents and education , some black households only had one parent in the house and that was the mom , mom went to work all day and had no other choice but to feed her kids the best way she could and that consisted of fried chicken , cool aid and things like french fries and chips .
Black parents do the best they can when it comes to feeding their kids and no one have ever bothered to step out and stand in front of some of these chicken shacks in the hood with a bull horn and bring the vegan message to the hood . If we black vegans would get off our high vegan horse and start spreading the message to our meat eating people in the hood we would show and save lives by example , black vegans don,t be afraid to spread the word from block to block .
I think it should be noted that black people have unaddressed mental issues. For example, some black people do try to put other black people on to eating healthier. But the effort gets shot down. A lot of black people I know immediately think that vegans think of themselves as better than they are. And as creatures of habit, a lot of black people are so used to and in love with meat it seems like an impossible change even if it were a thought to some.
