"Cheese that had been bought to create that white middle-class, it was cheese that had been used to rob African Americans of their land." World famous wypipologist Michael Harriot recounts how the New Deal left Black people out. The same U.S. government that alienated Black people from subsidized mortgage programs, turned around and created programs that propped up wypipo-owned farms.

I remember the government cheese programs when my parents were on public assistance. Grilled cheese sandwiches got me through undergraduate school and law school.

As a small baker, I told my mom this at the time. It destroyed our profit margins in 2022. It was insane how much the price jumped in just a few months. The real tragedy is MOST of the companies engaged in price gouging, these dummies were just so blatant that they got caught. And they'll do it again. 🤦😔#exhausting

That cheese "found" its way to my 80's Black middle class neighborhood. There was such a surplus, ppl were getting it & sharing it with all of the neighbors as we had more of a sense of solidarity back then. Damn...how far we've fallen under "integration"
