"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 nation’s farm owners..."

Anyone notice an inconsistency in that passage?

Good catch! I missed that. Typical devious, manipulative and deceitful leftist writing to push a narrative.

**************************************************************************************
It’s meaningless drivel. A million workers doesn’t tell how many were owners. Nor do they tell how many owners there were.

Were 1 in 7 of the owners black? Or was the 41.4 millions of acres representative of the farms on which they worked? IE 1 in 7 of farm owners had blacks working the farms which totaled 41.4 million acres.

Farmers of all hues have been replaced by Corporate Farms. Using % without telling all the underlying numbers is often used to disguise the true picture.
