Biden allocated 4 billion dollars in loan forgiveness for disadvantaged farmers 25% who were black. Given the history of the wrongs done to black farmers and considering under the Trump administration, o.1% of the COVID-19 relief aid for American farmers went to Black farmers not an unreasonable program.

Of course whitey objected and now it will wind up in the courts.

Not shocking but pretty disgusting given the well documented discrimination against Black farmers by USDA. Fuck the white farmers objecting to this. I guarantee they have long taken advantage of the same programs their fellow Black farmers were locked out of or jacked over by.
