It’s not racist discrimination if it’s against white Americans, you know…
(by Half Dollar) Learn to code?
More like learn to speak Spanish, and maybe even some French, just in case you happen to have been born white and, oh, say, you know, you’re forced to bug out from your own farm and you might not be able to stop until reaching Canada or Mexico.
If that sounds far-fetched, it’s not.
And don’t think it stops with farms, either.
Farms are simply the Federal government’s “stepping stone” in the US Federal government’s newest, latest war, the War on White Americans.
Fortunately, for those who identify as “white”, just as with all wars in the abstract that the United States wages, this war will be lost too.
Hopefully.
Although if you ask a US Federal government official, I’m pretty sure they’ll tell you they’re totally winning the War on Drugs, or the War on Poverty, or the War on Homelessness, or the War on Terror, or the War on Whatever.
They’re not.
In fact, they’re losing.
Badly.
But I digress.
Are you white, and do you have a nice house in a quiet neighborhood, with polite neighbors and a sense of pride in work, home ownership and accomplishments in life?
Well don’t worry, because they’ll be coming for your home sooner or later too.
Or is that not where all of this nonsense is headed?
Because it seems the “reparations” are starting, even if they’re not specifically called that.
Yet.
From Farm Bureau (bold added for emphasis and commentary):
While the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 does not appropriate funds directly, it’s estimated that $4 billion will be used to provide direct payments of up to 120% of a socially disadvantaged, e.g., Black, Hispanic, Native American or Asian American, farmer’s or rancher’s outstanding debt as of Jan. 1, 2021. The loans include USDA Farm Service Agency direct farm loans, USDA guaranteed loans and Commodity Credit Corporation farm storage loans, among others. The additional 20% is intended to pay off the taxes associated with the amount of the direct payment related to the outstanding debt.
Now that doesn’t sound racist or discriminatory, does it?
Regardless, if somebody is a white male who identifies as a half Black, half Asian female farmer, would she be able to get 120% of her debt forgiven?
