5. hi nimrod, what does your comment have to do with Black farmers being shut out of trading on the open market and being shut out of bring their product to the market? how did you get on a computer? do they have electricity where you live, or did you go to a neighboring village to get on someone else's computer?
6. Black president and black CEOs so you can stop crying racism now little boy.
7. oh, could you message my inbox and explain what you do?
8. Thank you for your valuable time and info. I enjoy learning from your videos.
9. you guys now so many things
10. Sal really goes out of his way with his drawings to make these video's entertaining. xD
11. so Khan question: the Black farmer was shut out from bringing his product to market by white farmers and corporations, i.e. distribution was restricted. The Black farmer has all but disappeared. Could I then go to say, Atlanta, and create an exchange for very tiny contracts, or micro-contracts, to save the Black farmer? And, how hard would that be? P.S.: I do not need a supply / demand lesson. Racism trumps any sterile definition of supply and demand.
12. you are genius!!!
13. his ancestors were from asia ...
14. thank you so much. just gave a test on this. you saved me.
