The House of Representatives approved a decades-old settlement worth $4.6 billion Tuesday that resolves two class-action suits filed against the federal government by black farmers and Native Americans.
The thousands who joined the suit argued that the government discriminated against them as they applied for loans for agricultural ventures.
The House approved the package 256-to-152.
Black farmers would receive $1.2 billion, after they alleged they were cheated out of loans from the Agriculture Department. The government will direct $3.4 billion to American Indians who say the Interior Department swindled them out of royalties from natural resources like gas and timber.

Is this an extension of the Pigford case?

We need the names of the critters who voted for this, again.
“If you speak out against this bill, you’re racist.”
That’s racist.
And they won’t stop until they’ve taken everything we own!
That’s racist.
As you wish Mr. Joe Boucher
Sir, you are a racist individual.
Was that sufficient, Sir?
Hey I was cheated too. I didn’t get no money. Where is mine.
This reminds me about an Native Indian lady who lived near our town. She left the reservation in OK because all the oil dollars and bought several hundred acres with her American husband.
A couple of years after they built a nice home, an oil company hit a wildcat well on that land. Within a few years, there were at least seven producing wells on the place. She said she was cursed with oil money.
...and the lies continue so liars and theives can get money!
Liberalism is the eventual suicide of the West to a Marxist power structure that will use Islam as a useful idiot as its military, then they will turn on the Muslim world.
We are already done for, we just keep BBQ’ing and drinking cold Bud Lights, ignoring the obvious.
A "surplus in nutrition programs for women and children?"???
Zero is a Halfrican...
DO NOT FUND. Period.
No problem, I got plenty of beads...
People have to realize that this kind of stuff is never going away, never. It will always be the politically connected class i.e. blacks, hispanics, muslims, indians, women, etc. using discrimination as a tool.
Now that got the golden egg, next one will be larger!
Everything that is happening right now in our country and the economy is 100% due to political correctness and our country’s reaction to it.
The country is not coming back.....
This is some continuing sick sh*t by these LIB Asshat punks. God save us!
OBAMA’S_STASH_PING!!!
If anyone comes across a roll call for this bill, please provide a link. I’d like to know who the republicans were who apparently voted for it.
When are the government bureaucrats who “discriminated” against the blacks and Indians going to be indicted and tried for their “hate crimes”? The American people need to demand answers. The U.S. taxpayers should not be the only people punished by this DemocRAT reparations scheme.
The reason you can’t find it is because they (house) changed the title to hide it.
