Washington (CNN) -- The U.S. House on Tuesday passed a $1.15 billion measure to fund a settlement initially reached between the Agriculture Department and minority farmers more than a decade ago.
The 1997 Pigford v. Glickman case against the U.S. Agriculture Department over claims of discrimination against black farmers was settled out of court 11 years ago. Under a federal judge's terms dating to 1999, qualified farmers could receive $50,000 each to settle claims of racial bias.
The legislation passed Tuesday also funds a separate $3.4 billion settlement reached with the Department of Interior for mishandling Native American trust funds, along with four separate water rights lawsuits brought by Native American tribes. It had been approved by the Senate and now goes to President Barack Obama for his signature.

Hey local Cadillac dealer....Better order a few extra Escalades!
Ya wondering what that clicking sound is?
Now we see what that black woman in Detroit meant by “Obama Money” and “his stash”.
It is a Reparations bill, pure and simple. God bless Steve King and Michele Bachmann for being the only ones to say so on the floor. This is a disgusting betrayal of the American People.
The day this POS is voted out of office I’m going to put a sign on my car saying “THE REPARATIONS ARE OVER”.
Fraud hearings starting in January.
Reparations by any other name....
Can this be undone when the sane people take over?
Agreed! The number of Black farmers eligible multiplied so fast there were teenagers hoping to get in on the SCAM!
YEEECHHHHH!
Yeah,Michelle asked that if so much racial discrimination was going on at a federal agency like the USDA—which is a federal crime—where are the indictments,the investigations,the prosecutions—where is the DOJ?
In other words,felonies have been committed that caused such a huge cost to the taxpayer and yet NOT ONE person has been brought to justice for it.

Different title, different article. Say, you haven't posted anything else on Politics, Congress, or Crime have you? Cause if you did, then I am sure someone back in 1998 did that - and we don't need "repeat" articles.
