Why do black people love cereal so much?
in my hood, cereal had always been a delicacy.
i'm only part black, but i love cereal. i've noticed in almost every "hood" movie they eat cereal and/or treat cereal like it's a delicacy. (i.e. ATL, friday, etc...)
it's almost like cereal is part of our ethnic cuisine. this is really only a question for black people that love cereal but i suppose others can answer. why do you love it so much and what kind is your favorite?
@ryan well, i'm not being racist for one. two, im part asian so me liking anime is typical. plus, you can't even see his pants? lolz.
@asky gurl chill out. this question is not meant to be taking seriously. although i do love when people get worked up so.....

Cereal trees used to grow as far as the eye could see in Africa. When our people were taken from the motherland, the white crackas started fires and pillaged our lands. Not one cereal tree is thought to have survived. Luckily, some of our most sassy old women took some seed and planted then in the new world after the slave were freed. This is why cereal is an ethnic delicacy in the hood. Hood culture also celebrates other cuisine such as grape soda, watermelons, and fried chicken.
Cereal remains one of the greatest reminders of our hoodian heritage, for this reason we consume it daily in the morning and night. We will never forget the sacrifices of those that died to give the right to eat freely in the hood.

I've noticed that a lot of people on budgets love cereal, not just black people or anything. It's because it's cheap, lol. I love cereal because it tastes good, but I live across the state from my parents so I do my own grocery shopping. Cereal is easy to prepare, you can eat it whenever you want and the boxes only cost about $3, and then milk about $2 something as well or whatever. When I come home late at night and I haven't eaten anything then I usually go straight for the cereal!

You're mistaken in thinking that it has anything to do with being Black or that it's unique to Black culture. If anything, it's a masculine food and that's why it was so prevalent in ATL and Friday or in other movies. It's also stoner food and Friday was about getting high. So, no, it has nothing to do with being Black. However, as a girl with a Black boyfriend and plenty of Black guy friends, I can say, all of them can put down huge bowls of cereal. But then again, I just ate a ton of cereal the other day myself. It's guy food, because it's easy. But it's also stoner food, because it's easy. Nothing to do with being Black, since everyone else consumes it at the same pace as Black people. You just think it's only Black people because that's probably who you are around the most.

Cereal??? :-) I don't think I've ever heard that before. "Macaroni and cheese as a side dish at Thanksgiving" (no, not "from a box"), I've heard of. I'm sure the only time I'e ever seen such a thing was in the B.O.B. video where the girlfriend fills a bathroom sink with "Trix".
