White farmers and banks pushed back, in an attempt to uphold the racist structures they've benefitted from for centuries.

Black farmers won't overcome racism until they take the levers of finance into their own hands and forge their own financial institutions.

This month, in a historic step to redress racism, the United States Department of Agriculture planned to begin issuing $4 billion in debt relief to minority farmers around the country. The move follows a long and ugly record of discrimination, including by the USDA itself.

How dare white farmers complain they are being discriminated against in federal programs.

It is known by libs that Trump used white supremist code to discriminate against farmers of color. This is true despite no proof.

Perhaps in the future we can see on the packaging not only where the product comes from, but who produced it and how much of our tax dollars subsidized it.

Moreover, nothing was “blocked”.

The government is free to give away unearned money stolen from taxpayers.

It can’t refuse to give away the money to every farmer, regardless of race.

Biden chose to stop the program, instead of being non discriminatory.

Aw, hell. That sounds like something from some radical commie rag. But it’s from from the ‘Business Insider’. So yet another news source has gone a-pandering. Or gone “full woke”, if you prefer.

This like a headline from the Babylon Bee. White farmers are being discriminated against but the racists because a judge agreed that race-based preferential treatment violated the law.

... climate change sought out Black farmers and targeted their farms for devastation and ruin.

Is that White Farm Supremacy?

Hate to say this, but out where I live there’s an older fellow of African American persuasion that tills his field every year and plants nothing.

For over a decade.

Actually, there’s no delegated power for Congress to spend money for such a purpose.

Are black farmers somehow unable to grow soybeans and corn as well as white farmers?

Black farmers have a whole continent to grow all the crops they want.

It is called Africa.
