As the United States of America, celebrate its independence anniversary declared on 4th July, 1776, we take a look at the history of America, the events that led to declaration of independence, and most importantly why declaration of independence was not a cause for celebration among all Americans, particularly for the native Americans and the enslaved African Americans. “For Native Americans, it may be a bitter reminder of colonialism, which brought fatal diseases, cultural hegemony and genocide. Neither did the new republic’s promise of “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness” extend to African Americans. The colonists who declared their freedom from England did not share their newly founded liberation with the millions of Africans they had captured and forced into slavery.”

The so-called Revolution was according to Professor Gerald Horne, was a ‘Counter-Revolution’ a conservative effort by American colonists to protect their system of slavery. Contrary to anonymous role often assign to African Americans in the American Revolution (which Prof. Gerald Horne refer to as Counter-Revolution) the prof. lucidly outline their roles and their major impact. The book is a great shift in paradgim.

Professor Gerald Horne, is the author of the book “The Counter-Revolution of 1776: Slave Resistance and the Origin of the United States of America.”

I find that unseasoned tofu (especially uncooked tofu) has a pleasant vegetal, beany (I mean, yeah it's made of beans) flavour, sometimes slightly sour. But it is definitely a blank canvas. It's why it's so often paired with pungent or strong flavours like chili, garlic, century egg, doubanjiang for mapodofu etc.

And yeah when you fry it whatever original flavour the tofu had on its own is essentially obliterated, so my word choice of 'mild' probs wasn't the best.

Idk what it is about the unseasoned fried tofu that hits the spot for me though. It's deliberately fried in a 'neutral' oil (菜籽油, canola oil) so that only the sauce imparts the flavour. The fried stuff could just as well be edible cardboard, like that unflavoured extruded corn stuff. But sometimes people just wanna eat crunchy cardboard with a bit of chilli oil ig shrug-outta-hecks it sure isn't what I'd serve to convince people to get into tofu though, by a long shot.
