Alex Jones's family was wealthy aristocracy that owned a railroad and fed poor people, including many Black individuals, during the Great Depression.

And the Great Depression that hit Texas really bad because of the Dust Bowl in Oklahoma, my family was... Pretty much aristocracy. They were the wealthier people. Hell, my family owned a railroad. Now, it was a limited railroad from Teague, Texas to Fort Worth and then over to Frisco, but they owned a railroad. And, of course, you can see how for a few generations that all got pissed away. But they... They lost most of what they had in the Great Depression, and they were rich. And they knew how to skin a buck and run a trot line. Now, and they took care of a lot of people, but by the end of the Great Depression, my grandmother told me, her mother told her about it, because she was born back then, but was little. And there was a magnolia tree, right, at the one ranch house that hadn't collapsed, that's planted by her grandmother. So it's like 150 years old now. Big giant, biggest magnolia you've ever seen. But the point is, is that after 10 years of depression, there were almost no deer, no rabbits, no squirrels, and they were eating possums. And during the Depression, a couple days a week, they would put on a big feed in the backyard for 50 to 100 people to come eat for free. And this isn't some leftist virtue signal. Most of them were black.
