Any chance maybe they really were discriminated against?
Counting the original 20,000 who met the 1999 deadline and the 66,000 who did not, there are a total of 86,000 African Americans who “farmed or attempted to farm” from 1981 through 1996 made a claim of discrimination or are seeking to make one against the U.S. government.
Yet, the alleged discrimination against these 86,000 African American farmers occurred during a period when the peak African American farm-operator population was 33,000, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.
So, I guess the other 53,000 herd about Obama money?
Mak, I had a small farm during the time period that is being discussed. I was unable to get these loans because I did not qualify or would not sign up for the crop reduction programs. Was I discriminated against? I didn't think so. Many of these people couldn't qualify either, which is why they didn't receive the loans. Others refused to follow the rules and were disqualified. This isn't discrimination, it's failure to qualify. The fact I am black or white or indian was never a factor.Any chance maybe they really were discriminated against?
read the article, you'll get it sooner or later
So how are they getting awarded the money? Really. I really suspect there is one of those little facts you guys left out again. If it is awarded to people who werent even farming and could not deserve it isnt that fraud?
sorry, I don't support homosexuallity..
if thats your thing, more ghey power to ya
hate the sin, not the sinner
We have a winner . DUH , But this is the same government you defend constantly & I aint even talking about the current administration , The fact that the government pays out benefits to dead people , folks in prison & all the other lazy fucks out there , should be a clue Somethings been fucked up for a long time & its only getting worse now with your fuckin hero .
You pull the racist card constantly Mak if you cant see WTF is going on now & dont call it racist from Your president then I dont know what to say . But then again I,m a dumbass, uneducated that refuses to be told what I can do & what is best for me . This aint about left or right , this is about common fuckin sense & something they obviouslly havent taught for years in college .
I dont defend this government constantly. If money is being awarded to people that cannot possible deserve it, the people how are trying to award it should be prosecuted. But the right has lost so much creditability I dont beleive any of these stories till I find it somewhere besides the wing nut blogs. Just like that story aobut Obama taking the 401k's. Absolutely no trught to it.
Are you sure you dont confuse what you call yourself with me calling you that?
Just dont say any particular race is lazy or stupid or dont contribute to society and I wont point out the racial nature of such statements.

so I guess the huffington post is where you get your political truths/compass from?
Do you actually listen to any of Obamas speeches Mak ? I dont think theres many racists on this forum , But IMO we damn sure are being governed by the biggest one I,ve seen in decades & those that voted for him only back up what I,m saying . But of coarse I have no proof much like yourself , I just pay attention to WTF,s going on these days that effects Me & mine
Not many really, but I usually read them later. I dont think I have called anyone racist on here, but I do point out the blatently racist statements. Saying there is a suprising large number of blacks who dont contribute to society or are criminals, or expect something for free are racists statement. But anywhere else that goes without saying.
Who called you that? I have to admit that is really insulting.I am not a democrat. Please quit saying that.
