You think milk is expensive now? Remove white farmers and you won’t have milk.

this is literally the government owning up to the fact they either discriminated against black farmers or allowed black farmers to be discriminated against, and the government partially making it right.

Of course that was just one tool. Dearfield CO, provides a different example. Until the dust bowl, it was a thriving Black farming community. (Yes, even CO was segregated.) When the dust bowl hit, it lost out when scarce water resources were distributed.

And then there were sundown towns. Neighborhoods, towns and even entire counties had sundown laws. Kind of hard to farm when you can't live on your farm:

In VA, counties like Mecklenburg had "Black Wednesday." That was the only day of the week Black farmers could apply for a farm loan.

In short, it was systemic and when legal restrictions were not enough, there was always the Klan to terrorize Black farmers into leaving.
Okay. All of these things were quite wrong. But what do they have to do with white people, and only white people, being denied loan forgiveness today?

Affirmative is not exclusive to blacks. Blacks actually get very little from affirmative action.
There are loans for white people. Matter of fact its always been easier for white people to get loans.
And black farmers have made their case about historical injustices to them. Black farmer grants is just repairing what the government allowed to be broken.


The issue isn't loans.

The issue is loan forgiveness that is being made available to whites.

LOL there are no black only clubs. In alot of clubs that are "for blacks" there would be white people in them. At "black colleges" you will find people of all races. And your search for white colleges is you moving the goal posts and using a fallacy. LMAO

This shouldn't come as a surprise. I think they announced it at least a month ago. And even if they hadn't announced it, it shouldn't come as a surprise. White man bad.

This is what it is. You have the institution of academia. Academia does not teach logic or reason or truth anymore and now teaches social justices on the lines of inclusion, representation and equity,(please remember the last word EQUITY). Now when these kids graduate from college, they end up in a job for the government or a corporation. What they learn from academia goes up from them up to higher echelons of government or corporation apparatus. Mind you these are not black kids who graduated via affermative action, or a Model Minority Asian Person. No it is prilvlige white kids that are pushing these ideas in coporate and government spaces. Now lets get back to the word equity. Equity and equality is different.

So you have 5 farmers. John who is 100 dollars, Jose who is 75 dollars, Little-foot has 50 dollars, Howard from NYC 1000 dollars, and Tyrone has 50 dollars. Howard is a Jewish, John is a working class white guy, Jose is an Latin American immigrant, while Tyrone is black and Little-foot is Native American. How come Howard has more while everyone has less money on their prospective farmland? A government program is put into place that provides money to those via loans. Howard now has 1,050 dollars, John has 150 dollars, Jose has 125 dollars, Little-Foot now has a 100 dollars, and Tyrone has a 100 dollars. However the white liberal comes around they/them notice something. Howard has more money, even though he has a bigger farm and multiple crops for sale compared to the others. The regular white guy John and the Latino Jose have similar sized farms with some crops, while the Native American little-Foot and Tyrone have smaller farms with quick sustainable cash crops. This angers the academic white liberal and complain to the government about this. Thus an investigation begins. It has noticed that some of the farmers took advantage of loans in which, in which the POC could not obtain. So now the woke white liberal academic tells the government and the banks this. We have to make things not equal but equitable. So instead of everyone getting 50 dollars. Howard can not apply for the loan anymore. John the working class white guy will still receive 50 dollars like wise for farmer Latino Jose. Little-Foot the Native American farmer, and the Black farmer Tyrone will receive low interest paid loans in the amount of 200 dollars a month. Within a generation. Little-Foot and Tyrone will catch up or surpass other farmers in the community with wealth. The rest of the loans will be paid by taxes from the public.

The last paragraph is an example of equity, paid for and brought to you by Critical Theory which comes out of the Frankfurt school. Thank You Herbert Mercuse, and Antonio Gramsci.

Uh, no. The notion of 'making things right by shifting who you do wrong to' is a fallacy even if you could prove that bias was there to begin with. You don't apologize for beating your least favorite kid by stopping their beatings, but then beating the other kid some to 'make it right'. AAMOF, it actually reinforces the negative behaviour by adding legitimacy to the act based on the actors (being racist is ok as long as you are racist towards the 'right' groups) which inevitably will come back to haunt those who engage in that train of thought.
