A black farmer has the internet talking after posting a powerful message on social media about race relations in Charlottesville, Virginia.
Chris Newman, owner of the Sylvanaqua Farms in Albemarle County, shared his thoughts on a recent Love Trumps Hate counter-protest on Saturday. The rally was held in response to white supremacist Richard Spencer leading a protest against the removal of a statue of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee.

It isnt Richard Spencer calling the cops on me for farming while Black, Newman wrote. Its nervous White women in yoga pants with Im with her and Coexist stickers on their German SUVs.
The farmer went on to suggest that residents of the town who are interested in racial progress should consider how to effect change in their own everyday lives.
People are so busy going after that easy fix, going after that Confederate flag, that theyre not doing the hard thing, which is thinking, how did we get here, and how the hell do we dig out of institutional racism, Newman wrote.

How did you post this..last time I tried Huff was banned
I posted it in Chat. I don’t think Puff Ho is allowed in News, and even if it were - things like this are quickly bumped to Chat.
And that’s all I know about that.

Liberals talk a good game but most live in Lille white areas...
The deplorables are less racist for the most part...
I worked construction in Denver and we all got along
but there were every few black construction workers there
I live in SW FLA now and in the smaller towns the kids seem to get along all races...the bigger cities have the most problems Tampa
Liberals (progressives) view blacks as property —THEIR property. Abd they view people like this as stolen property.
