the original judgment of “Pigford v. Glickman” in 1999 only applied to a total of 16,000 black farmers. But in 2008, a junior Senator got a law passed to reopen the case and allowmore black farmers to sue for funds. The Senator was Barack Obama.
Because this law was passed in dead silence and because the woman responsible for spearheading it was an obscure USDA official, American taxpayers did not realize that they had just been forced in the midst of a worldwide depression to pay out more than $1.25 billion to settle a race claim.
A monumental theft enabled by the Community organizing Kenyan.
Reparations. I’m so sick of it. And nothing will be done under the current joke of a Justice department. I want these jokers locked up and the key thrown away.
And let me know when I can sue the Queen of England for discriminating against MY Pilgrim ancestors.
Rotten to the core.
I watched John Stossel’s segment where he covered this. It is yet another means of dead beats bilking taxpayers wout of millions ith little to no oversight and end in sight.
Everyone in that mindset out for a piece of pie...
Saddens me beyond words.
Gee, that could be every brother who ever had a pot plant in his window....
Bam’s way of redistrubution of funds to his bros.
Stossel is only about 13 months late on this one. We did this story last February, 2 days after the Pigford II settlement was announced and before it was finalized in Congress.
Several people here tried to get either Congressional or media attention to this story and no body was interested. Now that the heist is complete, and the loot distributed - everyones OUTRAGED.
just sayin
Farmer ping.
I'm not sure what he means by, "government subsidized" but this vet would not have been able to buy his first home without V.A. backing. It didn't cost the V.A. anything, except maybe administrative fees, since I paid the loan.
Government shouldn’t be giving out government subsidized loans to anyone.
People maybe shouldn't be making such sweeping statements.
