Farm reparations for the disenfranchised farmers.

Obama rallied for that farm bill provision to let black farmers who were wrongly denied financial aid in the past seek damages from USDA.

One of the biggest scams ever - if you were black and did not get a loan from the government (as opposed to a bank) for any reason - you are automatically are entitled to lots of money

What happened to that Farmboy from Ioway, Vilesack ?

[EyeGuy]

Any word on the status of the head of “The White Farmer’s Group”.

[I see my hands]

Anything less than 80% white representation in the Muslim's cabinet is vile anti white bigotry.

[Boiling Pots]

That would be the current one, I guess.

Redistribution of wealth: 40 acres and a mule for everybody.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

I hear Sly Stone is up for Secretary of the Humanities Department.

[ClearCase_guy]

I'm not keeping careful track, but it sure seems like Obama is just appointing black people to high positions. The only exception seems to be Hillary Clinton.

Racism is where a group of people, because of their special skin color, get to hold a disproportionate amount of power. I think this is totally inappropriate, but it's probably illegal to mention it.

[EyeGuy]

Well, let’s try to call it that and see how far it goes, OK?

[wolfcreek]

Hell, depending on where the 40 acres is, I’ll take it.

[lady lawyer]

Oh great. We’ll get Zimbabwe light.

[ari-freedom]

you don’t trust Obama’s vast experience?

[chambley1]

The total elimination of the farmer-elected FSA county committee system is on the table also, replacing them with some sort of directly appointed minority-socially disadvantaged farmer group to finally bring “social justice” to rural America.

[Boiling Pots]

They should just rename the title to “Manager of Corporate Welfare - Farm Division”

We will have more “diversity” in how the “wealth is spread” now. “Change,” ya know?

[BBell]

Agriculture secretary for civil rights? Thats a new one to me.

[Recovering_Democrat]

Well judging by the headline, I guess he is eminently qualified: he’s a farmer AND he is black.

[Clock King]

Read your Marxist handouts. I’m sure it’s in there. After all, in a Marxist view, EVERYTHING is class/race/group-based.
