I've stumbled across several videos on TikTok (yes, I know, that was my first mistake) of people claiming that during slavery in America, it was common practice for slave owners to cannibalize slaves. They claim that this was so widespread that entire cookbooks were made detailing how to prepare the meat of slaves. Now, from what I have found, there is zero verifiable evidence that this is true. I found no evidence of any cookbooks, or any reliable historical records that indicate that this was a common practice. All I found were a handful of isolated incidents of sailors lost at sea eating the bodies of slaves. Where does this rumor come from? And why do so many people on the internet seem to think it's historical fact?
>>18529573>it was common practice for slave owners to cannibalize slavescomplete bullshit
>>18529576I figured as such, yet I have seen a startling number of folks on social media spread this claim around. I know it's the internet and misinformation spreads easily, but it's incredibly frustrating to see people repeat something and clearly not do any research into it.
>>18529578non whites, specifically browns and blacks, are fed an unending supply of agitprop to make them hate whiteswhites aren't angels, but they're not devils either by any stretch. Most of what they have done was with benevolent intentions.
>>18529573>Eat my flesh & drink my blood Crakkas discovered seasoned meat and loved it.
It's buckbreaking-tier history
>>18529598I haven’t read this book, but from what I understand it uses cannibalism as a metaphor? I’ve seen people online claim the book literally is arguing that cannibalism was widespread, I’ve even seen some people erroneously claim that this book is one of the cookbooks.
>>18529600I don't know and I'm never gonna read a book called The Delectable Negro: Human Consumption and Homoeroticism in US Slavery Culture
>>18529600It addresses some allegations which were contemporary with slavery iirc.>>18529573The only confirmed cases related to american slavery and cannibalism involved slave owners forcing slaves to eat each other. Not one case of a slave owners eating their slaves has been confirmed, though I definitely don't doubt it happened a few times.
>>18529573it's one of black folk history narratives that black communities believe because they aren't very bright
>>18529995Someone should compile all these stories into a book.
For real tho, these whypipo wuz straight up cooking, they ate and left no crumbs.My saltine English teacher say when she a kid, she devour some nigga called hairy Potter.If you a Black Queen, avoid them hungry honkie men, them cave beasts be bringing out the steak knives to eat yo pussy.
