I guess it really is true that blacks can’t make it without handouts.

I think you hit the nail on the head. Many of the black farmers of the 60s and 70s quit farming when they started getting handouts from the feds.

>> Article: for “bringing these long-ignored claims of African American farmers to a rightful conclusion.”

In fairness to other Blacks, the rightfulness cannot be applied to farmers only.

I wonder how Black owned dealerships were run out of business in 2009.

Pres Obama is single-handedly setting back race relations 40 years. This man's narcissistic stupidity knows no bounds.

“We were always good farmers,” she said. With a little cash, the young members of her family — upwards of 90 of them — can restore the farm.

90 kids gonna live off the revenue generated by a 523 acre farm...lol...my ass unless it's a marijuana plantation

ridiculous...guess who first spoiled minorities with promised handouts?

I think he’s crossed the “If I’m going down, I’m bringing them with me” line.

A measly $16k each? How many checks will be addressed to NY and Chicago?

If anyone’s looking for some comfort in this revelation, here it is: In a year or two at best, all that money will be worthless paper and the recipients will be right back where they started.

Surrender in the fight against Black lawyers here.

I'd be surprised if more than the expected statistical number of the lawyers enriched by this class action lawsuit were black. It sounds like a typical class action lawsuit where lawyers become multi-millionaires and litigants get some pocket change.

Speaking of agriculture, where the hell do you find classic pitchforks these days? I want a scary-looking one with 3 or 4 long slender tines.

A conquering people typically seizes the wealth of the vanquished. Instead of a violent sack as experienced by Rome in 390 B.C. and 410 A.D. wealth transfer is being accomplished with the approval of a sick conquered people. Western Civilization is the only civilization in history to be killed by words uttered by those that do not even belong to it.

So he’s going to make up for past racist discrimination by implementing new racist discrimination? That makes sense.

I think that’s what he wants. He’s trying to push someone over the edge and then will hit back the minute someone lashes out.

Or whining. Whine whine whine I’m amazed they manage to make it through the day without dropping dead from their self imposed misery.
