The 18,000 number is the number of current black farmers. Right now, today. The 90,000 number is the total number that were affected during the entire period of time that the discrimination was occurring. Example: If a black farmer went bankrupt, or was denied loans that were given to non-minorities simply on the basis of the farmers minority status...and that same minority is no longer a farmer...then they are not part of the 18,000 number, but are part of the 90,000 number. They should still be eligible for any compensation given from the lawsuit though.

The Sherrod angle though....THATS going to be the dark horse that may actually be a scandal. I'm going to take a nap. I don't know if you feel like looking further into Sherrod's company getting compensated millions, and her personally getting compensated hundreds of thousands, but that may be where the scandal actually lies IMO.
That's the opposite of what's being said in congress.
Congressmen and women lying and spinning?
Why...thats unheard of!
So everyone who doesn't tell it like you see it is lying or spinning, on record, in front of god and everybody. got it. You sound like TM.
