Senate bill introduced to transfer 32 million acres to black farmers.
**800,000 mules.***
Just go to a mule farm and pick them up! Oh wait! Mules are sterile and cannot reproduce. They are made by crossing a donkey with a horse mare. Nature sees the incompatibility of the genetics and makes them sterile.
Same for the offspring of cattle and bison.
This is discrimination against other minorities - Hispanics in particular.
Well, stupid question - sorry! Of course, that makes sense but believe me, I wasn’t this skeptical of everything back in those days.. Something happened to this country in the past “12 years” (8 + 4) that sure changed that for me. Have to say I preferred it the way it was before!!!
Some would likely put an apostrophe between letters if asked to spell “farm.”
Umm, Injun here. I thought you Dems say that is our land? It is “stolen land”? Hello?
Where in the Constitution is the part about being farm brokers for black folk?
That said if they want to farm, great for them.
As a pilot flying over beautiful Zimbabwe for over 20 years, I personally watched the irrigated postage stamp field patterns and Circle Sprinkler Fields change before my eyes. The irrigated fields that stretched for miles that were green and lush turn into fields of weeds and now huge trees growing in the fields that are now waste lands. Zimbabwe grew so much food that they exported tons of food and had a substantial surplus. The White Farmers were killed or run off their land and it was taken over by Black Farmers with the blessings of President Robert Mugabe. Now, Zim must import food and have a tremendous deficit.
Guess they “forgot” about the $50K checks that went out to pretty much every “black farmer” a couple of decades ago... It too was about supposed discrimination by the same governmental entity...
Total bullshit. If this is allowed, I want to apply for a “Dutch Farmer” land give away. My original colonial ancestor was a farmer in Brooklyn and was, obviously, screwed out of his land by taxes and the English takeover to rename the city and misappropriate lands held by earnest, hard working farmers. 371 years, times, $100,000, (a bargain)
would give my family $37,100,000, about the price of what the land in Brooklyn is worth.
PAY UP now, before any other late claimers are satisfied.
Remember Pigford - On April 25, 2013, the New York Times reported that “the $50,000 payouts to black farmers had proved a magnet for fraud” and that “its very design encouraged people to lie” - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pigford_v._Glickman
bttt
Cargill?
Monsanto (Bayer)?
ADM?
Or should we think more broadly, say Goldman, etc?
Someone would benefit from this plan and it ain’t the recipients of the land grants.
No kidding...if you dug a hole in your backyard when you were a kid...go ahead and file for Pigford the nget re-rewarded in Pigford II.
America, what a country...
711 acres per black farmer.
But what about blacks that aren't farmers. There are 40 million blacks. So 0.8 acres per person, if you don't give farmers special status.
Hasn't this already been done once?
Feds have 640 acres of land. But I think a lot of it is either arid, national parks, or not settled for a reason.
If you do that, and then hit them with property tax on land that they can't farm and has no improvements, have you done them any favors?
My daughter says it's the idea, not the amount. This could well squash that idea.
I do my part to consume okra and collards. If this means a price decrease, it could be a win win.
Correction. Feds have 640 million acres of land, but...
Can they make the hinterlands look like Detroit? Anybody know how to carjack a tractor?
Yes, the Native Americans were walked on and if anyone deserves payback it’s them.
