Lindsey Graham decries racial ‘reparations’ in $1.9T COVID relief bill
NY Post ^ | March 13, 2021 | | Mary Kay Linge

Hidden inside President Joe Biden’s $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief bill is a special program that will dole out race-based cash to black farmers, says GOP Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC).

The American Rescue Plan sets aside $10.4 billion for agriculture support, with about half of that amount set aside for minority farmers, according to reports.

Gee, how large of a percentage of black do these farmers have to be to get this ridiculous credit? Is 1/2 black enough? Could a 1/4 black farmer get the money? How about a 1/8 black farmer? And how are you going to prove this percent of "blackness"?

This bill is not only simply ridiculous on its face value, but certainly unConstitutional. Another example of Dimmocommies simply pissing on our Constitution. Clyburn makes bacteria look smart by comparison.

Reparations are a violation of the Civil Rights Act. Besides, only a fraction of the money will go to actual black farmers. The other 98% will go to black activist groups.

Simple. Anybody who wants in on this largesse simply submits a DNA sample, and your payout is based on how much of your genome is African.

Easy peasy. And fair! And totally constitutional! /s

The irony here is that Graham couldn’t prevented Biden’s Presidency, but he protected Joe, Hunter, and James.

In 1,460 days, the Republican Senate could’ve issued a subpoena with a 10 Minute Committee Vote, but they refused - day in and day out for almost 1500 days.

Even after he promised to do it, repeatedly.

When communists run amok, they really run amok!

When the current cowardly population of Americans roll over and spread their legs, they really roll over and spread their legs...

And to think, this is only the minor beginnings of what is to come...

But! Hold on! We're saved!
Checks for free money are on the way...
Yippee! Life doesn't get much better than that....Apparently....

Bow down!... Obey!... Snitch!...

Lindsey has gotten behind Biden’s nominations, and has voted for the Trillion dollar Pork, too.

He added money for the FBi in the earlier Porkulus

The Dems are getting much bolder with their open racism. In a big financial downturn, they are giving a huge amount of money to people solely because of their skin color, even if they are doing fine right now and don’t need the extra help, while others are getting nothing because of their skin color, even ones who are in dire straights financially. The Dems have totally given up on helping people based on need, preferring to judge people primarily based on their race in direct opposition to the teachings of Martin Luther King.

There were 50 Republicans in the Senate, yet we see so many articles describing what this loser thinks. Any article bearing the term “Lindsey Graham,” is synonymous with a post that says you won’t believe what happens next...

Ever ask yourself “what is a Bill of Attainder “ and why did the US Constitution ban this is multiple amendments?

Most folk with an average IQ would know the answer

Quit it Lindsey. The “fan the flames of outrage” game is over. You screwed America exponentially worse with four years of stabbing Trump in the back, including the election steal.

Nobody cares now sport. Go sell your closet homo drama somewhere else.

I wish a bunch of people of Dutch Afrikaner heritage would apply for these loans as they are too African American.

Flimsey Grahamnesty is one of the GOP Senators that is mostly to blame for hobbling Trump and sealing the Big Steal.

Give the lowlife Democrats credit. When they have power, however they get it, they know how to exercise it and get done whatever they want to do. Make no mistake, the country will suffer but they know how to wield power. Perhaps Lyndsay can learn something.

"Of the 3.4 million farmers in the United States today, only 45,000 are Black, according to the USDA, down from 1 million a century ago."

"Of the $10.4 billion in the American Rescue Plan that will support agriculture, approximately half would go to disadvantaged farmers, according to estimates from the Farm Bureau, an industry organization. About a quarter of disadvantaged farmers are Black. The money would provide debt relief as well as grants, training, education and other forms of assistance aimed at acquiring land."
Washington Post - Relief bill is most significant legislation for Black farmers since Civil Rights Act, experts say

It's not clear to me that $5 billion goes to black farmers or $5 billion goes to disadvantaged farmers about 1/4 of which are black.

Only 45,000 farmers are black so $5 billion over 50,000 famers = $100,000 per farmer.

It's also not clear to me how the money gets allocated. Acreage, past acreage, amount of debt, etc?

There were also the Pigford settlements I and II to black farmers. It's not clear to me why the focus is always black farmers and not blacks in general.
