Thanks for posting this - the part about how Black Farmers were never reimbursed was pretty telling, actually.

The inherent racism of the Democratic Party never ceases to amaze me...

We are also taught that FDR and his new deal saved us from communism. That may be so, but it seems like a lot of these policies contributed to suffering and increased the numbers of displaced workers.

Perhaps someone wanted us to go communist, but simply did not quite pull it off. The role of the Federal Reserve in all this certainly gives support to the conspiracy theorists throughout US history who have preached against the centralized power of a central bank. Perhaps they were(are) right.

The Democratic Party was, after all, the party of the white slave owner in the South. FDR did not want to offend the white Southerner's during the "Depression"(?) by helping the black farmers in the South. Franklin sent Eleanor to go fly with the Tuskeegee Airman, generate some headlines and con the black voter to vote Democrat. (sigh)

Now, the Democratic Party is simply out to enslave everyone.

Actually that it said "Black Farmers" is even more telling. Many white sharecroppers were moved off land they did not own either.
