“While discrimination is present in societies of all kinds, discriminators must pay pecuniary costs for indulging their prejudices in a market setting. Even the prejudiced usually will trade with minorities; bigots attempt to oppress minorities by socializing the costs through government action, but bigots usually are less willing to bear these costs themselves.”
I’ve never eaten a “black” before, and I had no idea that they were farmed.
It is long past time that we End Farm Subsidies.
However, if it was shown that the Feds treated farmers differently due to their race, these people deserve the money.
And then we should stop subsidies to all farmers.

None Dare Call it racism ...
Announced a 1.25 billion US$ special fund to compensate African-Americans who claim a denial of assistance from the USDA. Needs Congressional approval. Is a second round of payouts to cover damages awarded in a 1999 class-action lawsuit.
This round of pay outs is for those denied earlier payments, usually because of missed deadlines.
Reparations!
“Black” Farmers??? I thought Men were Men and worked whatever they work.
‘Post-racial’ America? Really now? It appears that this is only a new BEGINNING of ‘racial’ America.
What makes one a “black” farmer? The shade of ones skin? How about a person who has white skin but in the background there is a black relative...then what?
I call that discrimination.
Do these white folks with a black relative in their background have to dress like Al Jolson and sing “Mammy” to be noticed?
I bet they REEEELY had to twist Hussein’s arm to get him to give taxpayer dollars to the brothers!
Of all the black grievance groups I’d ever heard of in America, farmers must be near the bottom of the list. Not even Jesse Jackson, Jr. or Al Sharpton bothers. This sounds so Zimbabwe.
This makes at least the 3rd time the government has given a massive payout to black farmers. A friend of mine got all his government loans forgiven and a $50,000 payoff the first time, and I don’t know what he got the second time.
How much to the lawyers get?
There goes the price of mules...
