Democrat policies strike again. Just like prevailing wage laws knocked them out of a thriving contracting business decades ago.
But I’m sure Mother Jones believes the solution is to elect more Democrats.

Land can be found for sale everyday.
What is stopping them from buying it?
To: Trump20162020
Then save up and buy land.
To: Trump20162020
Ok?
Spend less money on expensive cars and gadgets, and start a garden.

I thought this had been settled years ago. Hubs and I have worked with older black fellows who talked about inheriting their grandparents’ places down South, and-or getting settlement money from USDA due to unfair lending practices.

>>Black people have largely been expelled from the US agricultural landscape. In 1920, nearly a million Black farmers worked on 41.4 million acres of land, making up a seventh of farm owners. Today, only about 49,000 of them remain, making up just 1.4 percent of the nations farm owners, and tending a scant 4.7 million acresa nearly 90 percent loss. >>This didnt happen by accident. Since Emancipation, Black farmers have had to fight for a share of this countrys fertile ground, due to a history of racist policies and land theft.
How many remaining farms are corporate farms?
How many families black white brown red or yellow had to sell off their farms to pay for inheritance taxes?

I knew this was coming. The NWO order is using about 10% of the population to try and remake America. Part of agenda 21 is to take land from the American farmer.

Since slave labor built the southern farms, let the South give them land.
My grandfather had to hire help. He was from the North, where owning people is abhorrent.

Farming is very hard work. Farming is an expensive, low return career. Farming takes a lot of knowledge and education. Farming takes endurance, planning, and patience.

Exactly.... the small farmer has pretty much been overrun by mega-corps.

What absolute BS. Anyone can save up and buy land. Then, they can farm it if they want. If hard work, uncertainty, lean times and so forth aren’t your cup of tea...then, you won’t be a small farmer.
These race-baiting, disruptive nitwits are so hate-filled. Most never had a real job. What bums.

They should riot and break all the storefront windows and look the Nike shops.
Oh wait.
Oh ok! They can riot and burn all the white-people farms. That should be simple enough, right?
Oh wait.
