Here it comes - Obama to Give Black Farmers $1.25B in Reparations (more redistribution)

Black farmers – possibly over 70,000 of them – will get cash payments and debt relief from the federal government totaling $1.25 billion, in reparation for alleged racial discrimination suffered under the Department of Agriculture’s loan programs, the Obama Administration has agreed.


The president announced the deal on Thursday, applauding Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack and Attorney General Eric Holder for “bringing these long-ignored claims of African American farmers to a rightful conclusion.”

The Washington Post called the settlement “part of a wider effort by Obama and senior officials to dispense with lawsuits stemming from America’s checkered civil rights legacy.”

House Majority Whip and Congressional Black Caucus member James Clyburn cheered the deal. “History has taught us to never give up when fighting for what is right,” he said in a statement. “What happened to these black farmers was wrong, and we now have the opportunity to make it right.”

Barack Obama - his only connection with the descendants of American slaves is that his muslim ancestors sold them.

Obama adds 0.1% to the National Deficit by settling this claim in the plaintiffs favor. America must borrow the money from China to pay Obama’s Trial Lawyer friends. Obama is not representing American interests in courts. Obama also paid off his Trial Lawyer friends in an Indian settlement.

We did give reparations have the Civil War. It was 40 acres and a mule. Now it would be difficult to claim who was a descedant of a slave and who was not. Who might have immigrated. Who might appear white but has some slave blood in there somewhere. It is an absolute racist idea.

Is Lamestream Media picking this up?

I doubt it. They’ll likely make note of it when it’s 2 weeks out from the election in the Metro section lol

Don’t count on Drudge. His rankings fell sharply during the run up and after the elections. He fell below the Top 100 for a while, now back around 96. He started a resurgence after Jan ‘10...I wonder why/how? A deal with 0bama’s knee crackers maybe?

Anywho, Twitter, Facebook, even huffpo are kicking his arse.

Buying oodles of votes is the only way he can get re-elected at this point since so many people can’t stand this freak’s stupid policies anymore. Watch for a lot more vote-buying (read, spending money) to come.

How about a heavy tax levied on blacks to be given to the families of fallen Union soldiers?

Congress and a Federal Judge will have to approve the deal?

Then, we know how this is going to end - EPIC FAIL - again!
