Will they screen these farmers to make sure that none of them are descended from slave owning blacks?

Guess we’ll be having some mule barbeques and mule burgers!! The new ethnic food.
Who will give affirmative action to the tax slaves who have been held in bondage since the Great Society? Slavery still lives.
Will all those on welfare pay us back? When do we get our restitution? I want justice, too. If you cut the tax slaves, do they not also bleed? Where's our equality?
There was no such promise. It’s a figment of africanhyphenatedAmerican imagination, politics, spin and plantation lies.
The blacks have already received their reparations in the form of welfare during the last seven decades.
I can see the ads now. "Come stuff your face with our asses."
The left’s definition of post-racial society is just code for social justice which is basically wealth redistribution.
Stock up NOW on food and ammo because when ‘it’ starts, ‘it’ will get ugly in the blink of an eye.
My wife is very smart and nice (and conservative) and doesn’t get too worked up over politics of any kind.
But you mention reparations to her and she does a slow burn that begins to melt a hole in the space-time continuum.
It just ain’t fair to punish the great-grandchildren of the slave holders, much less people such as my wife (her grandparents came here from Ireland) or myself (my people came here after the civil war and went straight to Nebraska to farm and stayed there not bothering anybody until my dad left home.)
We have NONE of this crap in our families’ history, and those who do have not owned a single slave since the Civil War so they are not guilty.
What really bothers me this moment is that this seems to be a unilateral decision from the POTUS. Can he even do this? How can he spend money without a bill from the House?

He needs to be impeached, and every single damn thing he’s done as President undone.
WND. Figures.
All this is is a settlement of a class action suit that's been going on for 15 years or more.
Agreed. My ancestors came over from Whales and worked in the coal mines in Pennsylvania. The only slaves in our family history are those who've been enslaved by taxes.
Why punish the people of today who've had nothing to do with it? The only slaves alive today are the tax slaves, and the only slave masters alive today are in the government.
Most racist administration ever. EVER.
It’s wartime now. This ought to be the straw=camel’s back.My taxes are not going for this.
Doesn’t Congress have to approve this?
The way some of you guys are talking....I’m afraid we may run short of airplanes. Hehe.
Please understand that the overwhelming majority of Americans alive at that time didn’t own slaves either. It hardly matters when your predecessors came over. All this is going to do is make Cadillac the biggest car company in the universe!!! Barbershop, love that movie for some of it’s lines. Truth in the black person’s face.
I seriously thought this was satire when I first read it.
It’s so outrageous and ridiculous.
Revolution is coming.
Don’t tell me he didn’t hear the sermons by rev wright and his black liberation theology.
