Joel Salatin is a farmer and prominent Agrarian writer. The ostensible tip of the spear in the return-to-the-land movement, the man has mentored a new generation of budding Agrarians in how to make traditional Agrarian life sustainable in and out of a money-based economy.
Enter Chris Newman, the (solitary?) Black (okay, Mulatto) who identifies as an Agrarian. No sooner had this freedman entered the farmers’ market milieu than he condemned the movement’s leading light as — you guessed it — a “racist”, and began leaning on Salatin’s publishers and customers to blacklist the leader of their own movement.
