By now you know a few things about me. One is that I am often saying that when you peel back a layer – usually a layer of history – that you find racial injustice. I’m not being rhetorical. For instance, some of the food you are eating today and some of the cotton you are wearing as you read this was grown on some of the millions of acres of farm land that in intentional cahoots with the United States Federal Government Department of Agriculture was stolen from Black Americans through subterfuge, bending the law, or when all else failed – or often before any other method was even tried – through the ever effective, old standby of terror, intimidation and murder.
