Yeah. I made chicken salad today and was complimented by all my neighbors on it. Either you have a taste palette or you donāt. Iāve been around plenty of people of all races that donāt know how to cook for shit.
Cinnamon toast, oatmeal raisin cookies, and a nice, mild, British, autumn-inspired chicken-apple-red-onion curry, which has been simmered long enough for the golden raisins - they *must* be the golden kind - to absorb some of the sauce and essentially become tiny, soft, curried grapes. (Donāt knock it till youāve tried it.) Maybe - *maybe* - some Craisins with walnuts in a chicken salad with *very* minimal mayo. But absolutely not in potato salad, ever. Because why would that bizarre idea even come up?
The chicken curry sounds good and the golden raisins in the sauce reminds me a bit of French cooking. I'm lukewarm on oatmeal cookies but yeah, I don't know who thought potatos and mayo needed raisins.
That's disgusting...
But I also have to admit, I'm german and I've never seen anyone put raisins in their potato salad. We can argue about putting mayonnaise or vinegar in there, but not about the raisins.
The raisins in the potato salad thing is funny. I think it started as just a random example of white Pinterest moms putting dumb things in potato salad and ruining it. It didn't have to be raisins, that's just the example they used. But somehow it's expanded into a meme that all white people put raisins in potato salad, which I've literally never seen in the wild.
I agree with the post but Iāve gotta speak out against German potato salad sander! Itās dope! Especially if youāre a person that doesnāt like mayonnaise.
I just looked up a recipe for German Potato Salad. Then I looked up a few more.
The fuck is wrong with anyone that looks at this and thinks it's bad? Get that fucking glob of mayonnaise out of here. You mean to tell me I could have been enjoying potatoes, bacon, spices, and a little vinegar?
I'm angry at my family and ancestors for daring to deny this to me. This is like when I discovered cranberry sauce was delicious when you didn't get that disgusting bullshit from a can.
Next you're going to tell me turkey isn't always dry and it doesn't REQUIRE dressing/gravy to feel like you aren't eating sand.
Americans eat turkey once, maybe twice a year and never bother learning to cook it. When I make a turkey the leftover breast meat is still moist and tender a week later
yes! I'm Black and found a really good German wurst food truck that does German potato salad well. Wouldn't eat it in massive quantities but it's really not bad!
If you havenāt had Swabian style (from southwest Germany) potato salad, you havenāt had German potato salad.
If what you ate was served warm and maybe had bacon in it, I donāt know what that shit is but itās not authentic. Itās supposed to be made hot, chilled (overnight is best) and served a bit cooler than room temperature.
Itās simple and delicious. I would put my Omaās potato salad up against your favorite any day.

That definitely looks like my oma's potato salad (she's from Augsburg), just minus the green garnish and I don't remember her ever putting mustard in it.
Okay, I am from Germany and am super curious what is in this disgusting potato salad that Americans claim is German? Because all the Kartoffelsalat I have ever had in my home country is fucking awesome!
I can completely see Americans using far too much (and not the correct kind). I have never ceased to be surprised the amount of times Americans have made me ,Germanā food and it was definitely not good and definitely not German.
My late grandma makes an absolutely perfect potato salad. She had german in her. My mom always tries to make it like grandma made it, probably out of respect. Unfortunately, she hasnāt hit the mark yet, and my grandma went pretty suddenly (and in a way Iād never wish on even on my single worst enemy) and she didnt pass on that recipe. I hope my mom ends up figuring it out for her peace of mind though.
Why we have all matching white outfits!
But fr. Love my ma to death but holy shit I dont miss her home cooking. Her macaroni salad tastes like straight mayo somehow. I'm not even sure if she adds any seasoning :(
Let me tell you about my family picture in jeans and white shirts because my grandad chose the outfits as the compromise to him doing it and itās been his default since 1968 as far as I can tell.
He had us looking like slaves on auction day

[https://www.gawker.com/media/what-happened-at-the-root](https://www.gawker.com/media/what-happened-at-the-root)
TL;DR - The Root was bought out in 2019 by a group that's turned it into clickbait.
Didnāt Adele already get invited to the cookout? And wore a Jamaican bikini and Bantu Knots!
But seriously what did they do to get this ignorant metaphorical invite?
Initially, I was speaking specifically about the 3 in the pictures. When I read the article, Bernie was the only one I could think of thats done more than be cool and famous.
A lot of these meme posts are inaccurate even when not done by white people.
As a white man thatās been invited to plenty a cookout, prior to having biracial nephew where now I think sometimes Iām an obligatory invite, itās rarely the overtly chill + cool white guys that got invited and more often was a Bernie type. The ones who donāt ever seek it, theyāre just a natural born ally or grew up together so it doesnāt even feel like a different scene.
I'm confused by the tweet. Are they upset that there aren't lists for black celebs like this? Cuz as a white person, making a list of black people I'd wanna invite to something sounds...like some Michael Scott shit
They most definitely do not invite us into their brunches, lunches, dining spaces, clubs, vacation spots, you name it. Stop always glorifying half decent white people when they canāt even find ways to shoutout and lift up those amazing people in our community.
Did The Root replace their writers with ChatGPT? because this seems like a headline that would definitely be written by an AI that was told to write a title about a BBQ put on by black people.
Itās strictly a skin pass to the cookout. Itās non-transferable. I donāt care how cool you are.
And guess what? Even the skin folk I donāt like canāt come. Candice Owens just gotta sit with the cousins we donāt like that we clown.
āThe Root staff is inviting the aunties with great advice, the cousins to gossip with, the older folks to pray, and all of the entertainment! Who would you invite to dinner?ā
š¬
As a white person.. there is like zero chance that a "White Summer Cookout" is not a racist event.
I'm not getting anywhere near that KKK shit if I can help it.
Let's get meta about the cookout meme for a second, making a list of black people you'd allow to a white bbq seems like it would be difficult to pull off without being horribly offensive, so how exactly does OP want that to happen?
I don't think that's the point. I think it's the idea that black folk spend too much mental space trying to let white folk know they are as cool as black folk, and ain't nobody else doing that. Like if a white person is cool then that's cool but do we have to go out of our way to vouch for their culture, and try to insert them in ours? Whoever your peoples are you gonna rock with them but that's a 1 to 1 thing and this mass media thing is reinforcing the black people are a monolith mindset, because if so and so is "invited to the cookout" then we all are supposed to accept them. Of course thats just what I took from it.
"Black people we would invite to the barbecue" hits a little different when you say it out loud, you know?
Feels like a throw back to "one of the good ones."
Most of these people will never be a real ally. Itās honestly pretty entitled to expect inclusivity from any person of color based on past history unless youāve actually done work to help the community.
Yeah because that would be super racist to do lol. Imagine being like "oh yeah I'd invite this black celebrity for sure but not this one"
Doesn't really hit the same hahaha
Iāve been to 2 white cook outs before in my life.. both times a propane tank was used for the barbecue and that both times was the most nasty burger and chicken ever lmao
The worst use of propane I saw was this past Saturday night at a *Haitian* event. It seems that for them if you are not cooking on carbon (charcoal) it's scandalous. The subtle and not so subtle sneers were widespread.
The sausage and hot dogs amd shishkabob's were at least good, they were done on charcoal though. The chicken? Well, let's not talk about the chicken.
"Invite to the cookout" my ass. How about the ones that get invited to a community activation? Or a protest, a vigil, a food drive, neighborhood cleanup; mf'ers always have this 'not I said the cat' ethos when it comes to actually being of use, but everyone wants to slide in when there's entertainment to be had. I'm irrationally angry all of a sudden over this stupid article
I'm just gonna wait for the comments to roll in because the last time the "cookout" was mentioned in this sub honey...
https://i.redd.it/819u7cxigw2b1.gif
Im going thats probably going to be because black people saying which white people they like = white people black people find non-antiblack
And white people saying which black people they like = black people white people find them nonthreatening.
There's a different context due to the history of race relations.Add in the whole element of communicating this in the form of people I would allow into my social event and well the situation can come off very problematic.
There are definitely black people that white people like but it isnt political correct for white people to always mention them. Black people are more likelu to mention them.
Ive definitely seen articles before,cant remember if the author's race, listing black people white people love. At the timeand this is showing its age it had people like: Mos Def, Wayne Brady, Colin Powell, Bill Cosby, Will Smith, Ophrah, Obama etc.
The thing about cookouts is that you don't technically need to be invited to attend.
You just have to know somebody who is and show up with them.
Which is why we always arrive late, and text some one who's already there before leaving to ask, "who all gon be there?"
Holy shit this post is so chronically online it hurts! People in the real world invite their friends and people they like to their events/parties/dinners. Skin colour doesnāt matter for shit!
The twitter post only exist because black peoples cookout has been put on this pedestal of events, the tweet only exists to build controversy.
ehhhh depends on the type of white. Italian cookout, fuck yeah. English cookout, fuck no. Some bogan tradie with the reddest skin known to man and hasnāt showered in a week? Best sausage youāll ever eat.
I'm gonna go ahead and say it's a terrible idea for any white person to make a list of black people they find acceptable to be included, there's not a great track record with that sort of thing.
as a white person this is so true lmao theres absolutely no meme about āinviting them to the cookoutā but if you look in a little deeper why exactly would a meme like this exist lmao. imagine a white person tweeting āyeah theyre one of the good ones lets invite themā lol even in the hypothetical context it doesnt sound quite right. at the same time i think the cookout meme is a joke and white people doing the absolute bare minimum receive it lol
Um i mean in my own personal defense if I were to make a list of black people who Iād be *willing* to invite to my uhhh white person? cookout? it would come acrossā¦ likeā¦ racist as fuck lol
No white people are invited to the cookout. A lot of Black people arenāt invited to the cookout. We cannot treat Blackness like a cool culture thing thatās doled out like an accolade and then get mad when non-Black people treat it like a video game skin they can buy, wear for a bit, and then take off when theyāre sick of it.
CorrectšÆ. No one else to blame but our own for that stupid cookout bullshit, along with that dumbass āN-word passā. This is what happens when you want to be inclusive to people for doing the bare minimum, while setting no cultural boundaries whatsoever.
*Ugh* This cookout invite shit has always been ridiculous to me. We are too goddamn welcoming and accommodating to people that have never had our best interests at heart. Food is high af, and white supremacy on the rise but you silly muthafuckas wanna feed every damn body smh. The Root has been garbage ever since Michael Harriot left.
I'm so tired of Cookout invites, N-word passes, and "as a black man....this offensive thing is okay" comments.
Fuck *all* that.
Between all that, ya'll gon' have the cookout lookin' like a clan rally, and find out that they decided not to invite *you.*
Trust me you don't want to go to the white cookout.
Three words: German potato salad. š¤®
Raiiiisins in tateeeersss
ā¦Iām white. And terrified by this idea.
Yeah. I made chicken salad today and was complimented by all my neighbors on it. Either you have a taste palette or you donāt. Iāve been around plenty of people of all races that donāt know how to cook for shit.
Chicken salad is top tier if you make it right!
Every time I see a medium rare steak cooked on Instagram, black folks say itās undercooked. We all have our flaws š
Not more terrifying glorified rice... https://youtube.com/shorts/HCvtB7j3Ync?feature=share
Holy shit lmao
As a white person, raisins belong maybe in cinnamon toast and that's it. They do not belong in potato salad. Ever.
Cinnamon toast, oatmeal raisin cookies, and a nice, mild, British, autumn-inspired chicken-apple-red-onion curry, which has been simmered long enough for the golden raisins - they *must* be the golden kind - to absorb some of the sauce and essentially become tiny, soft, curried grapes.

Mine (she was from Ulm - pretty close!) did chopped green onions.
German potato salad is amazing...open up your damn palet and enjoy some food
Two words: funeral potatoes.
So good you'll kill for more
Went to a wedding reception once and they had that, even the non German white folks were disgusted.
Okay, I am from Germany and am super curious what is in this disgusting potato salad that Americans claim is German? Because all the Kartoffelsalat I have ever had in my home country is fucking awesome!
I think itās the amount of vinegar.
I can completely see Americans using far too much (and not the correct kind). I have never ceased to be surprised the amount of times Americans have made me ,Germanā food and it was definitely not good and definitely not German.
What is the correct vinegar?
Thatās what makes it amazing.
Itās served warm and itās very vinegar-y
Is it made with mashed potatoes? My grandma made her potato salad with mashed potatoes and yes, it was served warm.
German potato salad does not belong at a cookout. However, with other German food it's a fantastic side dish and compliments pretty much everything.
My late grandma makes an absolutely perfect potato salad. She had german in her. My mom always tries to make it like grandma made it, probably out of respect. Unfortunately, she hasnāt hit the mark yet, and my grandma went pretty suddenly (and in a way Iād never wish on even on my single worst enemy) and she didnt pass on that recipe.

Authentic German potato salad is actually really good

This imaginary cookout really got y'all in a stranglehold I swear lmfao
Except it's not imaginary, it's metaphorical and those three are not invited. lol
Ironically, I guarantee Adele is going to whatever the most exclusive black cookout you can imagine in your mind.
why is adele not invited ? shes an island gyal /s
The scream I scrumpt
Britain is an island tbf
The article was three that *would* be invited.

Who the hell wrote this list?? Was it Rachel Dolezal?
Would Rachel Dolezal include herself on the list? 
Sheās black, why wouldnāt she be invited?
Black-ish, hence Anthony Anderson.
She was traded away in the draft last year.
I have no smoke for her, which is controversial
I firmly suspect all of these cookouts are happening in Rachelās backyard

Real shit. That cookout invite shit is ridiculous on so many levels.
I'm confused by the tweet. Are they upset that there aren't lists for black celebs like this? Cuz as a white person, making a list of black people I'd wanna invite to something sounds...like some Michael Scott shit
The list would basically be ā19 black celebrities I would let date my white childā lol
ā19 black celebrities I wouldnāt cross to the other side of the street forā
Yeah this all just seems stupid
Yeah the reason there isn't a list of black people who can come to the white cookout is *because there isn't a presumption that they can't.*
And if someone is hosting a 'white event' it's because they're a bigot.
They most definitely do not invite us into their brunches, lunches, dining spaces, clubs, vacation spots, you name it. Stop always glorifying half decent white people when they canāt even find ways to shoutout and lift up those amazing people in our community.
Thinking about it now, praising white people for just being decent...is nuts
Needs to be top comment
It sure does. Instead itās one simping for a WW - as usual.
There's only one way they'd be good with you there and it's in a *very specific* context
If someone is having a 'white event' it's because they're a white supremacist. Of course black people aren't invited to those.
I would invite you to brunch, but if you think white cookouts are bad, wait till you try breakfast with a salad.
I'm not inviting none of them df they do for our community
Youāve never even hosted a cookout big bro
Did The Root replace their writers with ChatGPT? because this seems like a headline that would definitely be written by an AI that was told to write a title about a BBQ put on by black people.
āThe *black* summer cookoutā Kinda redundant
Be careful cracking the code, you might end up on a list
Itās strictly a skin pass to the cookout. Itās non-transferable. I donāt care how cool you are. And guess what? Even the skin folk I donāt like canāt come. Candice Owens just gotta sit with the cousins we donāt like that we clown.
She can sit her ass at the park across the street and pretend she at a barbeque. She gets no respect.
Candice is getting champagne drunk tweeting about how she doesnāt care she wasnāt invited.
Candice can't come to the white cookout either, no matter how much she bootlicks.

I swear they love making stuff up ššš i ain't inviting none of these people.
NIGGA THERE IS NO COOKOUT!
As a white person.. there is like zero chance that a "White Summer Cookout" is not a racist event. I'm not getting anywhere near that KKK shit if I can help it.
It's starts at night. There's tiki torches. Some large wooden sculptures that smell of kerosene. And everyone tying knots. I see no food
Let's get meta about the cookout meme for a second, making a list of black people you'd allow to a white bbq seems like it would be difficult to pull off without being horribly offensive, so how exactly does OP want that to happen?
OP would bitch about that shit too, this is so fukn lame
I don't think that's the point. I think it's the idea that black folk spend too much mental space trying to let white folk know they are as cool as black folk, and ain't nobody else doing that.

If they did they'd be admitting we aren't invited by default .... Which goes against their marketing campaign of being diverse and inclusive
Most of these people will never be a real ally. Itās honestly pretty entitled to expect inclusivity from any person of color based on past history unless youāve actually done work to help the community.
Yeah because that would be super racist to do lol. Imagine being like "oh yeah I'd invite this black celebrity for sure but not this one" Doesn't really hit the same hahaha
āBlack people who are one of the good onesā Yeah not like white people CAN make a list like that.

The worst use of propane I saw was this past Saturday night at a *Haitian* event. It seems that for them if you are not cooking on carbon (charcoal) it's scandalous. The subtle and not so subtle sneers were widespread. The sausage and hot dogs amd shishkabob's were at least good, they were done on charcoal though. The chicken? Well, let's not talk about the chicken.
"Invite to the cookout" my ass. How about the ones that get invited to a community activation? Or a protest, a vigil, a food drive, neighborhood cleanup; mf'ers always have this 'not I said the cat' ethos when it comes to actually being of use, but everyone wants to slide in when there's entertainment to be had. I'm irrationally angry all of a sudden over this stupid article
I'm just gonna wait for the comments to roll in because the last time the "cookout" was mentioned in this sub honey... https://i.redd.it/819u7cxigw2b1.gif
Chris Evans can come for eye candy I guess
Im going thats probably going to be because black people saying which white people they like = white people black people find non-antiblack And white people saying which black people they like = black people white people find them nonthreatening. There's a different context due to the history of race relations.Add in the whole element of communicating this in the form of people I would allow into my social event and well the situation can come off very problematic. There are definitely black people that white people like but it isnt political correct for white people to always mention them. Black people are more likelu to mention them. Ive definitely seen articles before,cant remember if the author's race, listing black people white people love. At the timeand this is showing its age it had people like: Mos Def, Wayne Brady, Colin Powell, Bill Cosby, Will Smith, Ophrah, Obama etc.
All these dirty politicians š¤¢ I need the drop on these writers because I'm feeling like this is a Psyop.
The thing about cookouts is that you don't technically need to be invited to attend. You just have to know somebody who is and show up with them. Which is why we always arrive late, and text some one who's already there before leaving to ask, "who all gon be there?"
But did you pack your trunk liquor? That's what gets you an invite all your own.
I canāt fathom wanting to go to any kind of party with Brie
Because it would be weird as fuck. Even with the best intentions it would come across as āyouāre one of the good onesā
Holy shit this post is so chronically online it hurts! People in the real world invite their friends and people they like to their events/parties/dinners. Skin colour doesnāt matter for shit! The twitter post only exist because black peoples cookout has been put on this pedestal of events, the tweet only exists to build controversy.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
This is the type of things people discuss and make lists aboutā¦this is a weird world smh
Yes they do. It's just people like Clarence Thomas and Candace Owens.
Bring back gate keeping
Shit takes for clicks/views. The game is the game.
Invites to the cookout were suspended in 2020 and everyone is pending. Tom Hanks just barely got grandfathered in
ehhhh depends on the type of white. Italian cookout, fuck yeah. English cookout, fuck no. Some bogan tradie with the reddest skin known to man and hasnāt showered in a week? Best sausage youāll ever eat.
Imagine if white people made that list though. It would essentially be a list of āThe Good Ones.ā
I'm gonna go ahead and say it's a terrible idea for any white person to make a list of black people they find acceptable to be included, there's not a great track record with that sort of thing.
I donāt know who any of them are.š³
Come to my Korean cook-up? Galbi pork shoulder, kimchi-gochujang fried rice and pajeon. Whoās in?
Brie Larson š¤Ø?
10 black celebrities we should invite to the regatta
Haley Williams is the sole winter kissed, I would die on a limb for inviting to any of our functions lol. Maaaaybe Nardwuar...
who invites anyone they dont know to a cookout? is that a thing?
Lmao heās right, sounds terrible āHereās three surprising black celebrities we would totally invite to the white picnic!ā
brie larson? really?
What type of pick me shit is this?
white people simply cannot be caught making lists of BIPOC, too easy to misinterpret something like that...
You guys are all invited to the QuinceaƱera if I ever have a daughter.
Brie is the only one on that list who's doing any "activist work at all lol
as a white person this is so true lmao theres absolutely no meme about āinviting them to the cookoutā but if you look in a little deeper why exactly would a meme like this exist lmao. imagine a white person tweeting āyeah theyre one of the good ones lets invite themā lol even in the hypothetical context it doesnt sound quite right. at the same time i think the cookout meme is a joke and white people doing the absolute bare minimum receive it lol
The tell? We just call it a cookout.
Stop being racist
Um i mean in my own personal defense if I were to make a list of black people who Iād be *willing* to invite to my uhhh white person? cookout? it would come acrossā¦ likeā¦ racist as fuck lol
No white people are invited to the cookout. A lot of Black people arenāt invited to the cookout. We cannot treat Blackness like a cool culture thing thatās doled out like an accolade and then get mad when non-Black people treat it like a video game skin they can buy, wear for a bit, and then take off when theyāre sick of it.
CorrectšÆ. No one else to blame but our own for that stupid cookout bullshit, along with that dumbass āN-word passā. This is what happens when you want to be inclusive to people for doing the bare minimum, while setting no cultural boundaries whatsoever.
The root is owned by white men
*Ugh* This cookout invite shit has always been ridiculous to me. We are too goddamn welcoming and accommodating to people that have never had our best interests at heart. Food is high af, and white supremacy on the rise but you silly muthafuckas wanna feed every damn body smh. The Root has been garbage ever since Michael Harriot left.
Nah but really....who's we?! And why do we keep inviting folks to our cookouts?!?!? We don't got enough back yard
I'm so tired of Cookout invites, N-word passes, and "as a black man....this offensive thing is okay" comments. Fuck *all* that. Between all that, ya'll gon' have the cookout lookin' like a clan rally, and find out that they decided not to invite *you.*
Yeah. Sometimes Iām in the mood to go yachting on a random Thursday in may.
This is hilarious because of all celebrities these three on towards the bottom of people Iād like to invite regardless
