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.

Excluding Whites from any disbursement of financial assistance from the government is racism against Whites.

It might be CRP land, in which case you have to till or mow it once a year.

How DARE White people think anti discrimination laws should protect them too. Do these uppity Whites think they’re equal or something? The nerve!

Discrimination. Now because the Black farmers (a minority of a minority) won’t be on equal footing with ghetto Blacks in getting free stuff. Disgraceful!

The article lowercases White, and uppercases black. It has no credibility.

“The article lowercases White, and uppercases black. It has no credibility.”

Mostly true, a lot of inconsistency:

“a group of white farmers”
“ discriminates against white farmers.”
“credit from non-White farmers.”
“help Black farms equally,”
“ as White-owned farms grew”
“ 14% of the nation’s farmers were black.”
“ In 1999, Black farmers won”
“similarly situated white farmers”
“stop aid for non-White farmers continues”
“aren’t the Black farmers who”
“If black farmers and other”

Didn’t they do this during the Obama mis-administration? I remember it being said that any black person with a flower bed could apply. No Whites allowed.

The author Cornelius Blanding comes across as very racist. Can’t believe he’s writing for business insider.
