Loan forgiveness for farmers...*all* farmers? Loan forgiveness for privileged white kids who majored in “gender studies”? No way Jose!

Alleged? I thought it was explicitly written into the law, which is blatantly un-Constitutional.

Any true black farmers will be too busy this time of year to riot, plus, there are few real farmers in urban areas where the riots occur.
