Introducing Black Youth to Agriculture

[progressive hunter]

one of my interests is in urban and small farming, this guy has a lot of interviews of small farms and thought this was a good one to pass on,,

So when I was building my house ...

My white American Trump supporting contractor told me that the Mexicans were much better workers than the American whites. He said that the Mexicans show up on time, do a better job, and are much more prideful in their work. The white Americans - he said - were much lazier, and didn't want to work.

Why is that?

Really isn't about white Americans. It's pressures that unchecked illegal immigration bring about in agricultural jobs for ALL citizens.. Illegals are generally not land owner farmers.

How did you quote Toro when there is no Toro post in this thread?

I think it would be good for blacks to start community gardens. In times like this everyone needs to have some kind of knowledge in growing food. Some neighborhoods already do this both minority and whites too.

Good for them they are wise ladies indeed.

Good for them they are wise ladies indeed.

This sort of took off all over. There were news stories on them doing this in Dallas as well; don't know if they're still at it or if the gangbangers and commies vandalized the gardens or shot at them or something. I've never seen a Democrat praise this sort of thing, probably because they can't make money off of promoting it.
