...Your good white Christian ancestors brought my good African savage ancestors to America against their will and against your religion. Once here, you fed them your table scraps and butcher slops. Animal entrails were among the slops, but African ingenuity-praise de Lawd-was the victor, and chitlins "wuz" born...
