This argument reminds me of why poor people put ketchup on steak. With very low grade meat, it doesn't really have any good flavor to it. You have to cook it well done to make sure it's not literally dangerous, and if you just eat it bland, it tastes like crap. So, ketchup gives it a bit of a zing and you can move on with your life.
Walmart has all those spices because walmart meat is ultra low quality. Now, if you go to a farmer's market, or go to a place that cooks fresh meat, you will realize you basically don't even need anything besides the ground beef. You'll figure out very quickly that turning that ground beef into a burger is just a bit of luxury decoration for how good the actual meat is.
What a lot of these black people are admitting is that they are so used to eating garbage quality meat that they don't know that real meats don't need much else.
Crazily enough, she's not far off. It's not a racial taste, it's a poverty taste that you are currently adapted to.
But why does Trump put ketchup on steak?
That is a good question, he has a lot of lower class tastes (like his affinity for McDonalds, and professional wrestling). Unfortunately, I don't have an answer. My only guess is that he must have liked "poor people food" as an acquired taste growing up, rather than eating caviar.
I wonder if it has something to do with the culture of New York City that always kind of celebrated the "working class" nature of the city where even Wall Street Bankers would still go to food stands and food trucks to get lunch.
