      Woodard examines the sexual nature of documented instances of flesh-eating and details the various manners of consumption whereby Black Americans were metaphorically or actually eaten. In the book, Woodard defines consumption as a range of parasitic practices, including institutionalized hunger, seasoning rituals, and sexual modes of consumption.

      None of those are, nor have ever been mainstream. The entire Confederacy/South wasn’t eating black people and certainly not the whole country.
