Funny you should ask. On Saturday I went to my local soul food place. Black owned. Black recipes. We had black people on the wall word to Buggin Out.

Apparently the breh that owned it, sold it to one of his workers, a black woman. This is my first time being there in 5 months.

It looks like some white woman's craft shop.

shyt like this on the wall

In fact that's the entire aesthetic. The white background that, brown wood decor with sayings like good food, good company. Wicker baskets and shyt. You cant tell it's a black restaurant at all. Looks like a white restaurant with black workers.

And all the recipes are trash. My lady's catfish was garbage, the greens were trash, my chicken was trash, okra and fries pickles were trash.

I walked in and 3 different tables of cacs. They had street outlaws in the TV. Some fukking drag racing white people TV show.

I was heated. It was one fat cac and his fat wife, then two other cacs wearing American flag t shirts and shyt. Some real Charlie Kirk loving mfs.

I don't live in areas hit by gentrification.

My current neighborhood, white folks retreated but never left, you'll see them come lunchtime, acting like they own the place
