White nationalist senator and far-right agitator scream and pout over the American Rescue Plan having incentives for Black, Hispanic and indigenous farmers. They claim that white farmers are not getting a portion of the relief package.
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) is truly a white nationalist. He and many Republicans rejected the American Rescue Plan. A law that is very popular with Democrats, independents and even Republicans.
Yet, Republican lawmakers did not support the damn bill. They distracted us with culture war issues like Dr. Seuss, Mr. Potato Head, Pepe Le Pew, transgender girls playing sports and knocking governors with neanderthal thinking when it comes to ending mask mandates.
Now the next controversy is "woke supremacy." A term developed by Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC), a Black Republican who defends the white supremacy of his fellow members.
The $1.9 trillion federal spending package approved by President Barack Obama includes billions of dollars to help farmers of color pay off their loans, buy supplies for their land and otherwise invest in their operations.
The Emergency Relief for Farmers of Color Act, introduced by Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-GA) provides $4 billion for the U.S. Department of Agriculture to forgive direct or guaranteed loans given to farmers of color.
Another $1 billion will go to the USDA for farmer grants, college scholarships and other efforts for minority growers.
This pile of shit. |
Apparently a white nationalist by the name of Todd Starnes is riled up over it excluding white farmers.
Starnes complains about it being reparations and conservatives are calling the package to aid people of color racist.
The far-right also tapped Graham's sissy ass for comment. He said that the package is a "wish list" for liberal policies and believes that Americans will bamboozled by the law.
"Let me give you an example of something that really bothers me. In this bill, if you're a farmer, your loan will be forgiven up to 120% of your loan ... if you're socially disadvantaged, if you're African American, some other minority. But if you're [a] you're a white person, if you're a white woman, no forgiveness. That's reparations. What does that have to do with COVID?" Graham asked.
Black farmers have lost more than 12 million acres of land in the U.S. in the past century as a result of "systemic racism, biased government policy and social and business practices that have denied African American equitable access to markets," The Washington Post reported.
White nationalist Todd Starnes pushes conspiracy about American Rescue Plan being reparations for Blacks. |
Rep. Jim Clyburn (D-SC), the Majority whip of the House said that Graham is a dumbass.
"Lindsey Graham is from South Carolina. He knows South Carolina's history. He knows what the state of South Carolina and this country has done to Black farmers in South Carolina. They didn't do it to white farmers. We're trying to rescue the lives and livelihoods of people. He ought to be ashamed of himself," Clyburn said on CNN. "I think you ought to go back and maybe go to church. Get in touch with his Christianity."
Black farmers say this law is a big deal.
"This is a big deal for us," said John Boyd, Jr., the president of the National Black Farmers Association.
"We see this as a great opportunity to help thousands."
Farmers of all race and farm-related programs will get $10.4 billion in total from the American Rescue Plan, according to analysis from the American Farm Bureau Federation. Most of that money is earmarked as debt forgiveness for minority farmers.
They refuse to support it but scream and bitch about what's in it.
This is what Republicans do. They are always on some bullshit.
