Currently reading autobiography of Malcom X. Kind of funny to see that the "whites don't season their food" meme still existed back then.

Most of it is fiction and it's not an actual autobiography since Malcom was illiterate and didn't write it.

I am sure most autobiographies are largely fiction or at least contain many lies of omission, but yeah I get that Haley's Malcolm X autobiography gets creative with the truth. Though, I don't think malcom was illiterate at the time.

Bible belt racists did not take to spicy foods. Holdover from their puritan roots.

Whites generally didn't season their food back then. Often not even with salt.

My grandparents never put salt or pepper on anything.
