This morning. Only in America:
Uber driver: “So, Mr. Bill, are you ready for Christmas?”
Me: “Sure. And you?”
Driver: (A bit hesitatingly) “Actually, I’m Muslim.”
Me: “Actually, I’m Jewish.”
Then: An interesting conversation about Christmas, Hanukkah and various Muslim holidays.
In 1920, a quarter million Black farmers owned/operated 16 million acres in the U.S.; 31,000 of them lived in Virginia. Today, just 24,672 Black farmers nationwide own/work 2 million acres; less than 2,000 live in Va. What happened & what's next? My latest in @MercuryVirginia:
Chicago cop caught on video beating a 16-year-old over the head with a pair of handcuffs. "Two officers came up and one threw me against the wall and they tried to put the cuffs on me. They didn't tell me why. They didn't tell me what I was arrested for." https://t.co/lIs1UHHyLu
