Jamelle Bouie on Oliver Anthony and his song "Rich Men North of Richmond":

"I can’t help but think there’s something ironic about the fact that, despite sitting close to [where the biracial Readjuster movement was formed], the latest populist voice to come out of the commonwealth has chosen, in the end, to give comfort to those with the boot on his neck and scorn to those who might try to help lift it."
