Sugar's Role in American Politics

Marie Antoinette: I was so shocked by the absolute massive extent of sugar, what it has been in American politics. In 1999, 2000 when Gore was running for president,. You had Bush v. Gore fight. And here you had this alleged slave, almost slave labor, shorting of the Jamaican workers that had come into farm the fun little sugar plantations and we're all based on them. It was an absolute canary in the coal mine for where we are now in South Florida politics.
