President Barack Obama on Thursday applauded a settlement reached with black farmers who claimed the Agriculture Department had unfairly denied them assistance.
The department will create a $1.25 billion fund to compensate the farmers, the AP reported. The package, if approved by Congress, would go to people denied payments.
“My Administration is dedicated to ensuring that federal agencies treat all our citizens fairly, and the settlement in the Pigford case reflects that commitment,” Obama said in a statement, referring to the lawsuit. “I applaud Secretary Vilsack for his efforts to modernize operations at the USDA, as well as the work of the Justice Department in bringing these long-ignored claims of African American farmers to a rightful conclusion. I look forward to a swift resolution to this issue, so that the families affected can move on with their lives.”

Another $1.25 billion down the drain, it’s good to be king.
“I have followed this story for awhile now and it is a COMPLETE 100% scam.”
Whitey’s Fault! Get used to it...we have another 1,066 days to survive... *SIGH*
Nobama has never had to earn anything in his life. It is evident by his GIVING so much money away.
Scum rat Ba$tard............

Great all farmers should be treated equal. So Mr.black president, when do those black farmers get their water shut off like the Califonia farmers?
reparations
More HALFRICAN bull$hit
redistribution. the bastards snuck it in.
I can see it now: If you happen to be black and watered a house plant now and then you’re entitled to money from the Agriculture Dept for being a “farmer.”
"So let it be written; so let it be done!" (clap clap)
Its all just a part of the reparations all voters should have expected when they elected a black hybrid President.
Now tell the truth——Is anyone really surprised?
The health care bill is another part of it.
We is in charge now Whitey, and Obama is paying the bill for that 95% black vote. havent you seen the new, Dont ask Dont tell policy The Won is trying to put thru? That is paying back for the fag vote.
The only vote that won’t be paid back is the liberal white vote, they are just too stupid to even demand a payback.
If that sounds racist, thats tough, racism is what we have-—in the White House/
Well named, at any rate.
Morons. Nobody to blame but themselves. Poor taxpayers.
Reparations via booracracy.
Anyone think this is not the last, but merely the first of what will be multiple efforts to get taxpayer $$ this way?
If you pay the danegeld, you will never be rid of the Dane.
Compensated for being black?
Have you ever known a black cause that Obama did not support? I am waiting for the reparations for slavery bill to come across his desk. Unless the liberals are defeated, this country is in deep doo-doo.
