Ricardo HarvinIn the first two episodes of #HungryForAnswers, a #DiscoveryPlus show on #HBOMax Executive Produced by #ViolaDavis, host (and #cookbook #author) #CarolineRandallWilliams does a surprisingly good job (considering each show's just over 20 minutes) of covering issues of race, white appropriation, history, and current events in a way that goes beyond the surface and forces white people to confront their own biases while celebrating #BlackExcellence and historical contributions to U.S. food history.
The last two episodes are also very good. Episode 3 covers a bit of #sugar's history and connection to #slavery, including the past and current #ForProfitPrison system, which is literal slavery.
Episode 4 is a(nother) look* at how #FederalGovernment policies were created and are currently maintained specifically to benefit #whites and disadvantage #Blacks, this time in #farming.
