Are the memes about black people liking watermelon, grape soda and chicken true or are these products just generally more available in the regions where more black people live?
Any blackbros (m/f) willing to elaborate?
water melon originated in Egypt
But most of the other "soul food", I assume that's what other blacks call it, are what American slaves primarily ate, and it became engraved in their culture, and became widespread during the Harlem Renaissance.

Not black but these sterotypes have more to do with history. Black slaves in the US were given watermelon at times to freshen up. Of course when you're working at a hot plantation, watermelons are your best friend. Though the modern day, Black Americans are actually at the bottom of the list of watermelon consumers. Though this might be more of a resource-area problem.
>Chicken
I think this comes from a scene in the movie Birth of a Nation, where a buffonish black character is scene eating chicken. But to be quite honest, who doesn't love chicken?
>grape soda
It's just cheaper than other grape soda.

To an extent. Honestly most people I know like watermelon and chicken but a lot of the black food memes are just southern cuisines.
The grape soda shit is true though and it's weird. I don't understand it.

They were actually originally from South Africa. However Egypt was the first society of not to eat them.

So it's more of an USA thing than a black thing.
