This might be a tad better than the proverbial “40 acres and a Mule”… tucked deep within the $1.9 trillion COVID stimulus bill rests an estimated $4 billion in debt relief exclusively for minority farmers.

Whitey need not apply for the aid/debt relief, as the “USDA would be obligated to pay 120% of the amount due on loans made directly to minority farmers or by private lenders through USDA loan guarantee programs. The additional 20% would cover taxes associated with debt relief.”

Racial socialism is upon us. [BIDEN TO SIGN BILL WITH $4 BILLION IN DEBT RELIEF FOR MINORITY FARMERS, Agriculture.com, March 11, 2021]

With Republicans complaining of discrimination against white farmers, the House passed a coronavirus relief bill on Wednesday that would provide an estimated $4 billion in debt relief for socially disadvantaged farmers. The financial assistance comes at the end of a generation-long campaign dating from the so-called Pigford settlement of 1999, in which the USDA acknowledged decades of bias against Black farmers in its farm loan and other assistance programs.

President Biden said he would sign the $1.9 trillion coronavirus bill on Friday at the White House. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said the package, which includes $16 billion in public nutrition and agricultural aid, “provides historic debt relief to Black, Indigenous, Hispanic, and other farmers of color who for generations have struggled to fully succeed due to systemic discrimination and a cycle of debt. We cannot ignore the pain and suffering that this pandemic has wrought in communities of color.”

Debt relief and a related $1 billion to improve access to land, resolve “heirs property” issues, and provide legal aid to socially disadvantaged farmers was the largest component of the food and agriculture portion of the bill. The USDA would be obligated to pay 120% of the amount due on loans made directly to minority farmers or by private lenders through USDA loan guarantee programs. The additional 20% would cover taxes associated with debt relief, said proponents.

House Agriculture Committee chairman David Scott said the aid was justified because of the oppression Black farmers had endured. “It is important for you to know that our Black farmers were not included in the other pieces,” he said, referring to pandemic relief bills that sent $23 billion to farmers last year, almost exclusively to whites. “So we got them $4 billion just to help them.”

Republican Reps. Glenn Grothman of Wisconsin and Andrew Clyde of Georgia said it was divisive and possibly illegal to focus on socially disadvantaged farmers. “We are going to have loan forgiveness on farms based on ethnicity,” said Grothman.

“I will highlight the racist socially disadvantaged farmers provision,” said Clyde. “This should be a clear violation of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and I call on the Department of Justice to investigate it if it becomes law. … Federal aid dollars should be color-blind.”

ORDER IT NOW

Representatives passed the coronavirus bill on a party-line vote, 220-211. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi presided over the final moments of voting and announced the results to applause and cheers in the House chamber. Rep. Jared Golden of Maine was the only Democrat to oppose the bill. Republicans voted uniformly against it. The Senate passed the bill last weekend on a 50-49 party-line vote.

“We as Black farmers are facing extinction,” said John Boyd of the National Black Farmers Association. “We are looking forward to swift enactment by USDA” of the debt relief and assistance provisions.

In 1920, roughly one in every six farmers was Black. Today, less than 2% of U.S. farms have Black operators. Black farms are one-fourth of the size of the average U.S. farm, with smaller sales, and they are located mostly in the South. In 2007, the USDA Census of Agriculture said that a smaller portion of Black farmers than white farmers received federal farm payments and that the amount they received was half the U.S. average.

Advocates say the debt relief program will begin to rectify decades of USDA discrimination against Black farmers. The USDA paid $2.2 billion under the Pigford settlements, but comparatively few of the claimants under the initial Pigford agreement received the debt relief and tax-liability offsets that were offered, along with a cash payment, under the “Track A” dispute resolution process. Some $770 million was paid in individual cash awards of up to $50,000, while debt relief totaled $43.7 million, according to a 2013 Library of Congress report.

In the USA, 95 percent of farmers are white. And white individuals collectively own 98 percent of rural land in the USA.

But financial support/debt relief in the $1.9 trillion COVID bill goes solely to non-white farmers, offering 120 percent loans to minority farmers in one of the greatest examples of racial socialism yet observed in increasingly explicit Black-Run America (BRA).

  1. Better spend those 1400 USD fast.

    • Agree: loren, Sick 'n Tired
  2. From what I’ve seen up here, POC detest gardening, clearing, planting, and all that goes with it. For example when it’s time to reclaim an overgrown lot or park, it’s White Men from the suburbs that show up on their dime with their own equipment to do the work. Guess who sits around and watches?

    And the silly attempts at an “urban farm” using old tires as flower beds? That would be the work of liberal White hipsters for the benefit of black school kids.

  3. The USDA would be obligated to pay 120% of the amount due on loans made directly to minority farmers or by private lenders through USDA loan guarantee programs.

    Taxpayer funded guaranteed loans to be paid off with taxpayer funded grants. Why only 120%? Seems racist. 200% should be the absolute minimum. Restorative justice demands no less!

    And of course blacks aren’t into farming any more. Farming is hard work.

    The screeches of how this will have disparate impact on students of color have already started. So predictable.

  5. The Democrat party has morphed into a giant slush fund. Whereby trillions of tax dollars are diverted to all of their favorite pets, and all of their favorite pet projects.

  6. This is bound to hasten the flight from white issues. What are the odds some farmer is going to claim “I’m hispanic now, because I ate a taco last week. I’m White Hispanic!”

    My grandmother was grom Spain, and one of my cousins used to list himself as Hispanic on school forms, job applications, and any other form where ethnicity was an option. This was 30+ years ago and it was a joke in our family, but now apparently he was on to something and well ahead of the curve. He can now cash in on his family's overgrown piece of property as a failed farm.

  7. Blacks don’t farm. I’ve lived around a lot of rural areas and I’ve yet to see one. Gates owns a lot of farmland so it’s probably a good guess he’s going to receive some money from this pork bill. As if he doesn’t have enough money.

    In my AO most blacks shop at Walmart and buy junk food. They’re not the soy clean vegans advertisers would like you to believe. I watch their cart at the grocery store. Between their SSI check for their mentally challenged 23 y/o child or SNAP benefits, they get a lot of money for food. If there were a worldwide EMP and they had to start eating their stored food or the food they grew, they’d starve to death.

    If you drive by a fast food place in a large city, they’re mostly occupied by blacks. Their idea of food is McDonalds for breakfast, Burger King for lunch and whatever they can get from the quicky mart for dinner.

    This is nothing but money laundering IMO from the treasury to the same A-holes who created this mess.

  8. Unbelievable that things are degrading this quickly. We could be only a few years away from whites being denied the right to purchase land in certain regions. That may sound crazy, but there are voices on the left who are calling for it. Until recently I would have dismissed the notion as absurd.

    My mother, 77, votes straight demoncrap EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. She gets all her information from the lying msm as she is internet-clueless. She grew up demoncrap so that is all she knows. She thinks it's still 1962. I gave up trying to talk sense into her years ago. The really sad part is that my dad's vote used to cancel hers out but he's been gone 12 years so she wins on that level. You and I reside in the same state I think so you realize people like us are basically pussing into the wind when we vote.

    We might be related because you just described my mother and relatives on her side of the family to a tee. She's also thinks I'm a racist for my viewpoints which I got thru first hand experiences dealing with, living around, and working around them for years, and having the gall to notice their patterns in behavior and attitude are fairly consistent, no matter which part of the country they are in.

    Just organise to dismember hierarchy and establish a new order in which communities govern themselves and remote authority can only be licensed by communities affected by their decisions (for very short periods. No room for hidden generational establishments to dig in and STEAL, which is what all remote authority is fundamentally about).
