    I had a conversation in college about this once, and the black people there said they felt the shared culinary traditions of the south might be the only way to one day mend the racist divide, so no? I think things are only BAD cultural appropriation when a marginalized culture is being profited off of without any credit or benefit going to the community, but my view could be changed on that if it is wrong.

      I mean, is credit actually being given?

      For the record I'm not even claiming collard greens originated from Africa. But if they were, we certainly wouldn't know about it.
