Back door reparations: Democrats want to pay black farmers who may be neither black nor farmers

You had to be a black farmer to qualify to get paid the federal government. There were only 18,000 black farmers. 92,000 “black farmers” signed up to get their share of the government gold.

Think of Pigford v. Glickman as back door reparations and you’ll know damn near everything you need to know about the case.

Except for these fascinating facts: You had to be a black farmer to qualify to get paid the federal government. There were only 18,000 black farmers. 92,000 “black farmers” signed up to get their share of the government gold. Congress approved it, but now they want to pay out even more. It’s like the lottery on a much grander scale.

Wikipedia explains it this way:

Pigford v. Glickman was a class action lawsuit against the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), alleging racial discrimination in its allocation of farm loans and assistance between 1983 and 1997. The lawsuit ended with a settlement in which the U.S. government agreed to pay African American farmers $50,000 each if they had attempted to get USDA help but failed. To date, almost $1 billion has been paid or credited to the farmers under the settlement’s consent decree.

Turns out $1 billion isn’t enough for the income redistributing socialists in Congress. No, not nearly enough. Democrats think it would be a really good idea to ante up another $1.2 billion to pay off all those black farmers who aren’t black or aren’t farmers or aren’t both.

Ain’t socialism great?

Free money! 500% of black farmers sign up for reparations from Obama’s USDA

There are about 18,000 black farmers in the United States. Yet, when the Obama administration offered them what amounts to reparations, more than 92,000 black farmers signed up.

There are about 18,000 black farmers in the United States. Yet, when the Obama administration offered them what amounts to reparations, more than 92,000 black farmers signed up.

It all revolves around a class action lawsuit called Pigford v. Glickman and yet another out of control Democrat giveaway. It’s already cost the American taxpayers $1 billion and Democrats want to toss another $1.2 billion into the money pit.

FOX News Special Report had the deceptive details:

Black House Democrats angry Senate version of slavery apology has “No reparations” disclaimer

Looks like we were right to be concerned that the House of Representatives’ apology for slavery was just a prelude to reparations demanded by Congressional Black Caucus.

Looks like we were right to be concerned that the House of Representatives’ apology for slavery was just a prelude to reparations.

Otherwise, it’s difficult to explain black House Democrats’ reaction to a “no reparations” disclaimer inserted in the Senate version of the apology.

The Senate disclaimer says: “Nothing in this resolution (A) authorizes or supports any claim against the United States or (B) serves as a settlement of any claim against the United States.”

Those simple words have angered members of the Congressional Black Caucus.

“I would not want to have any language in place that would deny anyone, any citizen, the right to address a grievance,” said wacko Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, a Texas Democrat.

“I feel that some method other than just an apology should be made. People should be made whole,” Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., said.

To that we say, “Shut the hell up, Sheila. Close your pie hole, Bennie.”

Uh-oh. Have we gone too far? In that case, we would like to issue an apology for the previous paragraph. But no reparations.

Senate apologizes for slavery, can reparations be far behind?

The U.S. Senate approved a fiercely worded resolution Thursday that attempts to formally apologize for the “fundamental injustice, cruelty, brutality, and inhumanity of slavery” of African-Americans.

We had nothing to do with slavery, so we demand an apology for the Senate's apology.

In a blatantly political move designed to keep President Obama from hogging all the good apologies, the United States Senate has apologized for slavery.

Here’s how the Wall Street Journal reported it:

The U.S. Senate approved a fiercely worded resolution Thursday that attempts to formally apologize for the “fundamental injustice, cruelty, brutality, and inhumanity of slavery” of African-Americans.

The unanimous voice vote came five months after Barack Obama became the first black U.S. president, and ahead of the June 19 “Juneteenth” celebration of the emancipation of African-Americans at the end of the Civil War in 1865.

Approval by the House of Representatives, which could come as early as next week, would make it the first time the entire Congress has formally apologized on behalf of the American people…”

Right. We understand that slavery was cruel and inhumane. But don’t apologize on our behalf. Our grandparents were still wearing wooden shoes in Holland 50 years after slavery was abolished. They had nothing to do with slavery. Neither did we.

While the Senate’s in an apologizing mood, maybe they could apologize for some other stuff. Like that plaid sports coat my dad wore to church every Sunday. Pat Boone records. Spaghetti-Os. Afro perms. Leisure suits. Car 54, Where Are You. MTV. White bread. Yanni. The Black Sox scandal. Joe Biden’s hairplugs. The 1958 Cadillac. Barry Bonds.

Maybe the Senate could even get a head start and apologize now for the reparations movement their slavery apology is sure to inspire.

Danny Glover and United Nations want you to apologize. And pay reparations. And worse.

Hugo Chavez leads and Danny Glover follows as they dance around the issues.
Hugo Chavez leads and Danny Glover follows as they dance around the issues.
Actor and activist Danny Glover, admirer of Hugo Chavez and Fidel Castro, has plans for you.

Glover has an article in MiddleEastOnline.com titled “Race and the Obama Administration.” He excoriates the Bush administration for walking out on a 2001 U.N. anti-racism conference. He “urges the Obama administration to commit to participation at the U.N.’s Durban Review Conference against racism and intolerance – and to reclaim American leadership in the struggle for human rights.”

Glover paints a pretty picture of the peace and love and harmony that would have ruled the previous conference if only the evil Bush and the even more evil Israelis hadn’t walked out and ruined any chance of approval for the dandy resolution the delegates had written.

You already know everything you need to know about Glover. He pals around with Fidel Castro and Hugo Chavez and never misses an opportunity to bash America.

The 2001 conference was an exercise in reparations lovin’, Israeli hatin’, American loathin’ and wealth redistributin’. You can read more about it here.

Just what you’d expect from Castro, Chavez, and Glover love.
