Black farmers aid held up in court by white farmers

8/26/2021

Emergency relief was on the way for Black farmers. Then lawsuits and accusations of “reverse racism” came.

Federal judges in multiple states have stopped the distribution of $4 billion to disadvantaged farmers (including Black farmers) claiming that its discriminatory against white farmers. The latest judgment came courtesy of U.S. District Judge Marcia Morales Howard who issued a preliminary injunction two weeks ago on behalf of Scott Wynn, a white farmer from Jennings, Fla., stating that he faced similar economic problems during the COVID-19 pandemic, and it isn’t fair that he’s being shut out of emergency aid.

The money in discussion was a part of President Joe Biden’s American Rescue Plan Act’s Farm Loan Forgiveness Program, that looked to forgive the debts to farmers of color who have historically been discriminated against by entities like the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) and have been denied access to loans and benefits, which have created an uneven playing field.

I wonder how many black farmers there are. Farming generally isn't something that's suited to the black psyche as they have to think long term.

Remember here in America things are different then perhaps in your part of Europe.
Anyone here (regardless of race/ background) can basically do what ever they want to achieve. You will find just about anything here lol

We got asian, hispanic, black, indian etc etc farmers.. It's a melting pot :b Now most farmers (ofcourse) are white Americans. They run the show.


Yes every race has their own unique skills, you won't find a lot of African American farmers, but if a black American is a farmer, then I would assume they love their job, are good at it, and are making a living off of it.
