The Africans who were captured and sold as slaves, hid the rice in their hair and grew it when they arrived. They approached the slave owners about growing their own food

Of course it's true. You've heard of 'lice', haven't you? Africans invented that too.

Once in the colonies, slaves grew leftover rice in their own garden plots for food.

This I am impressed with. I've tried for years. Go to the store, buy some Uncle Bens, pour it in the garden next to the corn, water, sun, blah, blah, and...nothing. Maybe I should go to West Africa and hire one of these guys.

“You’ve heard of ‘lice’, haven’t you? Africans invented that too.”

FYI, blacks rarely if ever get head lice (pediculus capitas).
