  1. Wendell Berry may have written eloquently and said good things, but I doubt he was sincere about dealing with racism. At least it wasn’t terribly important to him.

    In The Unsettling of America, I remember him praising the Amish and specifically pointing out their whiteness. And much more recent behavior - as noted in the article above - should be kept in mind.

    We need to be *anti-racist* if we want to be free. No tokenism. No relying on words alone.

    It’s been happening for most of 20th C also. The horrific consequences of corporate capture and industrialisation of #agriculture were spelled out in stark detail and with great prescience by #WendellBerry in his 1977 seminal work, ‘The Unsettling of America’.

    A wonderful book, which makes for very sad reading today. #LostCulture #ruralCrisis #BiidiversityCrisis
