Whats with blacks not eating swine aka pork

(1/10) > >>

Doggystylin:
Now, if they were muslim that would be normal, but I've seen this numerous times. Non-Muslim blacks talking about not eating swine. Xzibit has mentioned it, he says something like, "mother you taught me better than to waste my money on swine". MC Ren says something along the same lines. Another mention of it is in Boyz N the Hood. When Tray comes home from the BBQ he brings back some food for this father and he says, "this isnt no swine is it". Anyone know the history behind this?

Don Seer:
how about another.. Samuel L Jackson in Pulp Fiction.. "the pig is a dirty animal".. even though of course that line was likely to have been written by Tarantino

white Boy:
^ ye i love that scene.. almost as much as i love bacon.. mmmmmmmm

I think his dad is supposed to be Muslim in the movie, and that's how they were trying to portray that.

Trauma-san:
It's a result of the Nation of Islam's influence upon Black america.  Even those that don't wholly believe what the Nation of Islam is pushing, or even those that are Christians and not Muslims, still adopt some of the ideals of the Nation of Islam to help set themselves apart as conscious objectors to the status quo in America.
