Black US farmers dismayed as white farmers’ lawsuit halts relief payments

The US Department of Agriculture was scheduled to begin sending out payments to Black and minority farmers this month, as part of a $4bn loan forgiveness program included in the $1.9tn coronavirus relief bill that passed Congress in March.
But a lawsuit on behalf of white farmers accusing the Biden administration of discrimination has, at least temporarily, stopped the checks, prompting dismay among Black farmers and campaigners.
The money, intended as a way to address more than 100 years of discriminatory practices and policies that have historically and disproportionately disadvantaged Black owners of farmland, is now being held up due to an injunction granted this month by a federal judge in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
The USDA says it will “forcefully defend” the payments and is fighting lawsuits against them with the Department of Justice. Around the country there are other lawsuits against debt relief to Black and minority farmers with claims of discrimination against white farmers, including one in Texas backed by the ex-Trump adviser Stephen Miller.

maybe if the bill helped ALL farmers it wouldn't be an issue

Who knew that even in farming, black people are thinking of themselves only and not the industry as a whole.

Judging from the headline...looks like the intended result of the bill has been reached.

Does growing weed in the basement qualify as farming?

How much of this money is actually going to places like Wall Street and Archer Daniels Midland?

The way this is just nonchalantly stated as fact shows that journalism is dead.
This is not an established fact, and is complete bullshite.

Blame it on the Biden administration's racial discrimination.

You got a down vote for that sane comment.

I wonder if Al Sharpton hasn't gone out and bought him a few acres of soybeans somewhere so he can get his from the feds.
