“We are one more important step closer to bringing emergency debt relief to Black, Native American and other Farmers of Color in this country,” John Boyd Jr., president of the National Black Farmers Association, said in a statement. “Generations of discriminatory behavior by the U.S. Department of Agriculture has contributed to significant economic differences between white farmers and farmers of color that directly impact their access to credit. Sec. 1005 and Sec. 1006 of H.R. 1319, the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 will help address the ongoing effects of discrimination by reducing the risk of foreclosure and increasing access to credit.”
Black agriculturalists have faced challenges throughout U.S. history, even after the Civil War and the formal end to slavery. The amount of farmland owned and/or operated by Black farmers is but a fraction of what it was 100 years ago, and many Black farmers struggle for equity at farmers markets and on supermarket shelves. There has long been barriers for this community to “land ownership, capacity to scale, access to labor, capital, and markets,” said Richard Morris, Urban Agriculture Collective Farm and Foodroots Program Director at Cultivate Charlottesville. “Black farmers are hampered at every step of the way due to systemic discrimination.”
The Emergency Relief for Farmers of Color Act comes at a time when other efforts are being made to address the racist history of the USDA and other organizations that crippled advancements of Black farmers. Recently, U.S. Sen. Cory Booker reintroduced his Justice for Black Farmers Act, which seeks to “address the history of discrimination against Black farmers and ranchers, to require reforms within the Department of Agriculture to prevent future discrimination, and for other purposes.” Though the bill stalled when originally introduced late last fall, the reintroduction has a broader number sponsors, including Warnock.

White farmers' fury over Biden's 'racist' relief bill that gives $5bn to black & Hispanic farm-owners & nothing to them (the-sun.com)The act, introduced by Georgia Senator Raphael Warnock, will provide $4billion in direct payments of up to 120 per cent of a "socially disadvantaged" farmer's outstanding debt as of January 1.
A further $1billion has been allocated for the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) to provide grants, college scholarships and more for minority growers.
I wonder how many farmer friends of Warnock took out massive loans towards the end of the year. The dems love setting up graft machines. Keeps the deep state happy.
Pretty sure that's unconstitutional and will get challenged, but the fact that they actually put it in there and Biden signed it tells you how interested they are in uniting anything. Unequal treatment always causes division. Warnock is a good Marxist, and he knows exactly the effect this will have. Newly Uncovered Writings show more Evidence of Warnock's Support for Marxist Ideology by Reagan McCarthy (townhall.com)
Thanks again, Georgia.

No I can't because I do not have access to that information the govt. does and I doubt you could obtain it yourself. White farmers have every right to sue just like the minorities had every right not to obtain an equal share of govt. assistance in history of the US..

First off, you can't prove that any of the recipients receiving this money have faced any kind of discrimination. There are no checks or validations of such regarding the recipients. This is a blanket check being thrown out to people who look a certain way, plain and simple, and that's illegal under the Constitution. White farmers are rightly suing and I think they will be successful. If the government started doling out money to just white people you certainly wouldn't be defending it.

Well, let's step back from racial overtones here and consider that these "white" farmers have been getting government subsidies for years..AKA...corporate welfare if you like. Let's face it. It's not like they haven't gotten their share.
