if we must start with THEIR premise that greater non-White ownership of agricultural land would be a social good for the country.
"If we must start with" a racist premise, clearly we must reach a poorly founded conclusion. Right?

We need not AGREE with that premise, any more than we must agree that city parks are a social good.
So now the equation is racism and city parks? Pardon me as a park-lover if I buy out of that comparison.

What is the best way to achieve that “social good,”
...and...Racism is now a "social good"? Sorry! No dice! We all bleed red through the skin, AH86.

In 1994, there should have been affirmative goals for non-White land ownership
So the same should be true for aboriginals worldwide?
e.g. How far does this track? Mexican Texas and California?
Native Americans, Aboriginal Britons?
Aboriginals in general?
Then again as we ALL descended from Africa, what gives one racial subsegment of ALL of us such aboriginal rights on the African continent?

You COMPLETELY ignored the point of my post.

IF we accept THEIR idea of “societal good,” how do we achieve that end without destroying the economy and/or starving people?
And the only thing you do is go back and argue with the underlying premise. Sad.

You clearly want to discuss their premise, and I will be glad to discuss that with you. But not until you address the question that I raised first.

Do you see a better way to achieve their ends, while preserving the economy?

Not necessarily. One of the options I discussed was resale at market price, with governmental financing.

Have you EVER made the slightest effort NOT to be ridiculous? You REALLY need to get your news from somewhere other than Gateway Pundit or InfoWars.

The stats say that an average of five or six people have died per month in farm attacks since 1994 across a country roughly a quarter the size of the continental US, most of which are attributed to simple violent crime ... rather than some sort of politically-motivated pogrom.

Those figures are cerainly not inconsequential, but they would not constitute “genocide” in a small town ... much less a population of five million ... even if they WERE political.

Yes, the crime problem needs to be addressed, but stop pretending that it is something it is not.

You really DO struggle with the English language, don’t you? I restated the “point” in the very post to which you replied. AGAIN:

And you respond about:

multiple racist presumptions
demonstrating that you also have difficulty with abstract thought.

The borrower. It is this newfangled concept called “interest.”. Humans have been experimenting with it for about 7,000 years.

The nice thing about this type of loan is that the collateral cannot walk away.

There are so few white farmers left that a white farmer has a 3.2X higher chance of being murdered than anyone else in a murder country.

Why have no private parties stepped into this obviously profitable venture?

Political instability, paired with the facts that private lenders generally like to see collateral equal to about twice the principal amount and that they seek a profit rather than break-even to achieve a governmental objective.

But AGAIN, I am not saying that such loans would be a capitalist’s wet dream. They would simply be a means of implementing the government’s stated policy.

Why do people on this forum have such difficulty focusing upon the issue under discussion? Is is like the forum mascot is the Fightin’ Tangent.

You posted a diatribe postulating racially based solutions.

Like ignoring abject racism?

I'm sorry. Perhaps you don't get it.
You don't presuppose racism as a ""hypothetical solution"" without accepting what you've done. Own it. Then discuss it.

Put another way, try cutting skin color out of your ""abstractions"".

Holy Crap, did you finish High School?

An indicator of abstract thought is the ability to assume ANY set of facts or presumptions and to reason from those assumed facts. To do that, you need NOT accept the premise as true.

Newfangled indeed.
Here is another "newfangled concept" . . . collateral.
Without it, lenders don't lend, or they lose.

In this instance, borrowers have no appropriate collateral.
So what you are proposing is 2008 FannieMae on steroids.

That fallacy is in turn amplified logarithmically when one anticipates land-use ineptitude of the new owners.

Again, who pays?
Them with the monies pay.

My GOD you are slow. The LAND is the collateral. The government does not NEED to make a profit, and having land as collateral minimizes thae chances of affirmative LOSS.

No, it will not be profitable. It is not SUPPOSED to be profitable. It is SUPPOSED to satisfy governmental objectives regarding land ownership.

And the “ineptitude” issue is minimized if you sell to the former longtime employees on THAT property, as I suggested in the original post on this issue.

AGAIN, this is not a program that I would CHOOSE to implement here. It is the only program with any likelihood of meeting THEIR objectives in THEIR country without wrecking the economy or starving people.

TRY to separate those concepts in that tiny organ you use in place of a brain.
