I have no interest in romanticizing poor black people, having been one of them myself in our beloved hometown of Detroit.

Awareness is bad for the meat business. Conscience is bad for the meat business. Sensitivity to life is bad for the meat business. DENIAL, however, the meat business finds indispensable.
