- The origins of barbecue are firmly rooted in the plantation South, where enslaved Black pitmasters blended their own culinary traditions with those of Indigenous peoples to create what we know as American barbecue.

I’m not surprised they have been taken from us since the beginning of time always taking credit
Wow. I had no idea. That's how the phrase PITMASTER started. I'm usually not shocked by the knowledge put forth in these videos but 2day I was slightly astonished. Thank you for the knowledge
For real... why u think black folks always say they having a family reunion and cook big dinners...well Cookouts
Much love to the fba 💪🏿👊🏿 coming from an East African
👍🏾...my father introduced me to bbqing ribs at a very young age and I passed this on to my children.... now I am starting to understand the roots of our family cookouts👏🏾👏🏾
Rodney Scott of Scott's BBQ in Heming SC is the real deal.
In Jamaica we also have our version too
I would love to try it.
I love this channel I learn so much from it❤❤❤

One thing about the colonizers, they took everything and contributed nothing. Channels like these and books on our history are important. Thank ya'll.
You're wrong! They contributed their unadulterated EVIL!
Nope you're wrong! They contributed their unadulterated pure EVIL upon us!
What an insanely ignorant thing to say. Bitterness will always lead you to a twisted understanding of history
@sr.cosmos4543 Now apply your comment to whites! ✌🏿
Lol you're the one being ignorant @@sr.cosmos4543
Hell isn't it crazy that Africa and Hawaiian people use Banana leaves to cook food.r
I figured as much that Black Americans invented it but they always say otherwise. As a matter of fact i wouldnt be suprised if Black Indigenous people were already smoking meat like this BEFORE the spanish and Europeans ever set foot on this Land WE WERE ALREADY HERE!!!
Finally, someone in these comments was smart enough to figure it out....
BARBECUE IS A NATIVE AMERICAN WORD FROM THE BLACK INDIANS KNOWN AS THE COPPER COLOR INDIANS OF AMERICA..
It is indigenous to the americas so called blacks as well as so many other foods we been cooking way before slavery I also learned during a research how a lot of people think we have ghetto names most is native to this land for example Kesha is a tribal name
@@ChaseBankz-j3q you better get it chase, you better let them have it with yo research....

I keep seeing these names on the Indian rolls and they seem to be popular names among our people..
you added that black indian part. They didn't say that at all@@blkindians7974
True true, you cannot have the ( red) or ( brown ) Indians, without the original black Indians 1st that's who , those others Indians originated from ...but both so called Indians & blacks , not all blacks are the children of Israel, the 12 tribes....GODs chosen people...
Thank you for telling us all about Mary John (Marie Jeanne) until I watched this video I had never heard of her and her greatness. I was truely amazed at all that she was able to accomplish especially during that time.
Let the truth be told!!!! thanks big bro
My late Granddaddy cooked his Hogs this way in country (GA) when I was younger, then moved to South Florida didn't see much of it and tried to explain to my friends how I was used to BBQ they would be like girl please.
My Cousin Tom Jackson was a Pitmaster for Calloway Garderns.

OH YEAH 👍🏾
Great content! But where are the RECIPES??? 😂
They wsnt us to forget the GREAT things about ourselves. More than the terrible things that they did to us.
Fantastic, enjoyable and educational. Keep em coming!
Yes!!!! Yes Ladies and Gentlemen!!! Ancestral knowledge!! Go Rodney!!!
When cooking show's talk about barbecue they very often leave out the black history and contributions of black pit masters you rarely hear any host say anything about it.
This is the kind of history I share at our soon to be non profit The Colored Only Cafe
There's no question, no doubt, this is the trend throughout history. Black people innovating and creating, and colonizers swooping in, stealing, and taking all the credit. I struggle to find things that wahyte people actually, genuinely created.
Capitalism, oppression, mind control, suffering, slavery, genocide
The patent office.
@@venitakbennett-bonaparte1986📌!!!
Always. This is what they do
Cruelty that’s what they created
This is brilliant!! Thank you for sharing this--- WOW!!
Yes. Excellent video! You are doing a great service to the Black American community and the large Black diaspora in general.
This video has inspired me to level up my BBQ game lol
Thank you for your work on this!! As a black man in Dallas and have grown up with Mexicans around me my whole life. I learned that Mexico abolyish slavery as soon as they won their independence. The real fight for Texas was for slavery. We hear a lot about border crossing, but borders are not real and man made. We're better together! We're all God's children
Not true there were territory boundaries that were respected by the aboriginal people...the European territorial boundaries are about economics
Tell that to the drug cartels and the human traffickers...
Love this
It connects Black folk with Indigenous folk and because of this, I think I’ll always have some BBQ on Indigenous Thanksgiving Day
Really appreciate the info. Thx. etymology of barbecue just looked it up
Good interesting video.
When you go to a BBQ restaurant and see a black guy at the pit you can bet your bottom dollar it's going to be good. They're the best.
I'm from Arkansas, Woooww, I never knew this!
Great history lesson being a History teacher more and more we find out what was stolen from our ancestors and claimed as their own

I’m a young Carolina Pit master. Watching cooking my lunch on my pit
Excellent presentation! Thank you.
Rodney's Scott is the King of Whole Hog BBQ! I love eating his food!
Great Video! Very Informative ❤
I live in Atlanta GA. And I have personally learned how good soul food is. Brunswick stew for example, basically a trash stew made amazing. Pig ear, not my style, but flavourful. And then the other influencers into it? Man, they turned random crap into something quite nummy nummy. Sad it took such darkness to provide something so good.
I just had Rodney Scott's bbq in Atlanta .it was outstanding bbq.i would love to go to the original one in Hemingway SC..
This was so beautiful
Dope video brotha I just 😂subscribed 💯💯💯💯💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Theres a barbeque,north carolina and a multigenerational black woman owned bbq place in oakland california. They found out their family is from there. Theres a documentary on youtube. Everett & Jones

Great information and great episode 💪👍✌️💯👊
👏

@@henrysedillo5834 and they were all black Africans, the kmtic people 💪🏿👊🏿
Didn't hear anything about recipes. Thanks for the history lesson.
I always assumed that barbecue already existed in the southern US; didn't realize the Spanish brought the technique up from the Caribbean. Also, those historical images show fish being barbecued. One of those images also showed a snake on the grill. Cause of that, I'm going to see if anyone is doing barbecued or slow cooked fish.
My cousin does we smoke it as well
@@nessajenean8705 What kind of fish do you use and how long does it take? Does it take all day?
@@zozetamad3022I usually smoke salmon for about an hour and forty five minutes or until internal temperature reaches 145 degrees
@@dustinsonnier5602 Thanks!
@@zozetamad3022 you’re welcome
Who’s the narrator I like his voice
We were inventing this whole country. I’m glad that we have the internet. That’s why they are so scared of us. Lol
I agree with some of what is now known as American BBQ, but this style of cooking (what we term as direct heat), only represents 25% of American BBQ, and is regionally limited from Tennessee, Eastward to the Carolinas. Offset pit smokers (Indirect Heat), known as Texas style BBQ, is much more prevalent throughout the US, either in outdoor wood fire only offset pit smokers to rotisserie style, gas assisted smokers you see inside many US based BBQ restaurants.. I am hoping to visit Mrs Rosie's R&s bbq tompkinsville ky later this month to sample her 3rd generation, world famous pork shoulder, cooked over direct heat.
I am seasoned citizen. But I know that these BBQ is
significant.
I can taste the difference in the bbq, if a person cooks it with skill and soul, it is wonderful. If it isnt it may be ok if your hungry. But it isnt the same.. no one ever pass ever pass there Recipe around.
I love this. 🎉
Eating meat is a Black tradition, it is cultural. Do you hear me vegans/vegetarians? Lol.
Keeping Animals are expensive so its a real treat not a normalcy on the plate
I am from Arkansas and never heard this story.
Amen 🙏
Exactly
Desoto!! Desoto parish Louisiana we still cook with a certain type of wood 🪵 that you can’t anywhere else!!! It’s the flavor! Hernandez Desoto!! We showed him ! Civil War battle of Mansfield!! Original stone and brick built in the ground from civil war that’s next to civil war hospital still standing to this day!!
One thing for sure, white people didn't have anything to do with bbq but they have become rich off this method of cooking....but black pit masters will always be the BEST! Just look at the bbq industry today...big fancy pits, bbq cook-offs, bbq restaurants, Memphis has a long list of good bbq restaurants..i love to bbq and so do my 4 sons....
Hello young lady that become a lost art but you keep reaching for the sky shoot for the moon and if you miss it you'll still be among the stars 🎉🎉 celebrate your achievements and efforts cultivate for your self the talents.
Thank you, We are the indigenous Indian’s, we are the first to live on this land. Why would the “Indian” leave Asia & Siberia when we were right next door. We are the original Indians, the Olmec heads are African. Yt people have stolen EVERYTHING from us.
GOD 💛✌🏾🙏🏾
A whole lot of West African influence in American cooking also.
🙏🏾✊🏾
I'm positive that the word Bar B Q was invented in jamaica and the tobacco and quite a few more
I'm sure you are
Fba pittmasters approve of this message 😢
Arkansas, huh? Never really heard much about Arkansas barbecue.
So sad to say it is still like this today no credit. Guess I have my ways and I can't add pounds of butter and salt to my smoked meats like 🤔 some people do I call It tainting the meat and I stand on it 👍🏾
BBQ goes back to indigenous Americans who are now called black today
Our people been doing this since Yahuah directed us to make sacrifices in biblical times past. Leviticus let us know The Most High loves a good bar b que.
He is a true brutha✊🏾😏
Native aboriginals been bbqing before anyone arrived
So where the recipes brah
natives cuz there were no stoves
Read the Bible. Sweet smelling aroma of Lamb being smoked and sacrificed to God. Noah even smoked a sacrifice to God when he stepped off the ark. Now, what is more modern is the method, such as charcoal and propane gas.
Lamb, yes. A clean meat. Some of this other meats on the grill are unclean. Why were our enslavers so keen on giving us left over parts of a pig?
Better be glad i wasn't the pit master back then. Especially when all the plantation owners came over for that big party. Heard poison. all them people would have been
👌🏿❤❤❤❤👌🏿🇧🇴
TAINO FOUND UPWARDS OF PENNSYLVANIA DOWN TO THE CARRIBEANS BABACOA BRODIE FIRST N BEST SEASONING AT THE TIME CHEE HUU✊🏽🙏🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽
They weren't slaves. They were prisoners of war. Asians, Africans, and Europeans were the slaves. If that isn't the case. How Niijis are treated the worst? Because they're held in bondage on their own land that was stolen by the pen.
BBQ goes back much farther than 1540.... Think of the finest herbs, spices and livestock being sacrificed to the alter well over 2000 yrs ago, which is well documented.... 😉😉😉🥴🥴🥴
Cuz they tried any and everything
💜💕🫶💕💜
No disrespect but are you claiming that Latinos created bbq?
People have cooked meat over coals since fire was discovered. Europeans, and English especially cooked pigs over wood coals. What we call bbq started in the lower areas of the Carolinas, whole hog and vinegar sauce. It has evolved regionally through time of course. Who do you think taught slaves their methods.. People forget Europeans had been smoking meat and whole animal cooking since very early times. Of course the slaves cooked, that was part of their role in those times. It is was it is, it isn't fun to have smoke in your eyes all night. Cultures always learn amongst each other, but claiming this is preposterous. Yes, both black and white people still cook bbq, but history needs to be understood, not basterdized.
@@Sam-mu5xh I figured one of you would do this. Where in European history did they cook BBQ? Not England... English food is historically bad. Suspected white supremacists have a very difficult time giving Black people credit for being the creators of modern music and a large chunk of American culture. Cooking over fire is NOT BBQ. BBQ as we know it today was created by enslaved Africans.
@@Sam-mu5xh Is "claiming" to create modern music "preposterous" too?
@Sam-mu5xh Sam where are you!?
@@warrenlewis3977
If you are claiming that cultures influence each other, then we are are in agreement.
What you expect they stole are should I say Eli Whitney stole the cotton gin
I knew it had African roots
"Reparation"!
We US so called black people are the Indigenous people not African we are the Indians who made Barbecue.
I was trying hard to finish watching this video... You have our story wrong... You need to get the facts right about who is who... I can't listen to stories that you got from others who don't know the truth.
And what exactly did he get wrong if u don’t mind me asking?
Can you explain?
The word barbecue comes from barbacoa a word the that comes from the taino Indian language from 🇵🇷 which the word barbacoa is still used in 🇵🇷 today
Nah you're reaching kinda hard 😅 they weren't cooking anything delicious in Africa. They were and still are eating for survival not for enjoyment 💀
gross
Blessings our people just don't read the Bible and most don't understand the Israelites are so called black people we've been roasting and barbecuing on Open Fire we just got to get into the Bible understand our history our true history
Finally someone gets it. When you go to Church every Sunday ( yeah got em going on Sunday and don't know who you are ( Lord Help Us) No wonder folks are so clueless...they been taught so wrong and don't know their History right there in the Good Book. But The Most High has not forsaken His People, do not mess with His People ..... Consequences.
I've had BBQ all over America, and honestly the best I've ever had came from small, black owned establishments..
I had a dream of bbq secrets then saw this in my feed for the past week. Glad i finally watched it. ✨🪶
