Like, why wouldn't people be interested in knowing that the African slave trade of the colonial period actually started with Jewish kids, but they all died in the African climate of Sao Tome, so the Portuguese started buying slaves from the Congolese, which they captured from neighboring tribes, to work the fields??

I can't say for sure it's the song you mean, but rich men north of Richmond has suddenly popped into my feed and it's a damn good song. It really resonates with me about working to death just to survive.

To be clear, I'd love to listen to your special interests as well. It was just a funny coincidence you mentioned a country song everyone is obsessed with on the same day I came across it too

God I wish. Thank you for bringing that up!

Unfortunately the country song I'm referencing is the one my right-wing family has been obsessed with. Something about a small town, performed by a man raised in a city with a 6 figire population, who spent his summers in a Miami suburb.
