"500%" of US Black Farmers Sign Up For Obama's USDA Reparations (Video)
Posted by Jim Hoft on Wednesday, August 25, 2010, 7:35 AM
More than 92,000 blacks have signed up for reparations from the Obama USDA after the Pigford case was extended this past year. That’s five times the number of blacks who were actually farming during the time period in question and would possibly qualify for the reparations.
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. Democrats want to add another $1.2 billion to the money pot and continue with the reparations.

Fraud cases. Welfare fraud. BP is facing fraudulent applications for damages.
Like I always said, to double my farm income, i put up another mailbox.

Simple they deemed themselves to be farmers

“Redistribution: The purported right of society’s ne’er do wells to pick the pockets of its achievers by the coercive power of government”. Barack Hussein Obama, Mmmmm, Mmmmm, Mmmmmm.

Black Liberation Theology and Marxism. Slush fund centralized government.
DINORight commented:
You know, this would be a satirical joke if it wasn’t happening. What blatant fraud! This money has to be going to somewhere like ACORN or Dem candidates. How else would people even know to apply for the funds? You know the shake-down racket: you apply for the money, take your cut (say 20%), the rest goes to the 3rd party (ACORN, SEIU, DNC, you name the leftist corrupt org who would play this dirty game).
Of course, this will not be investigated. Too many fear the raaaacist label. Our tax monies, once again, being stolen – without question or investigation. November – we can’t wait!
Ruebacca commented:
The government hands out free pork. Then gets sued for not giving enough to a racial group. The remedy is more free pork.
This is killing us.
Granny commented:
You should at least have to prove that you had a farm! What a crock.
olm commented:
Apparently the only requirement is that you be black.
I wonder if you have to prove you’re black?
How ridiculous. As is most of the sh** and money coming out of Washington these days.
The Elector of Saxony commented:
Granny,
If the government checked every ticket on the gravy train, they’d have to kick a lot of people off! Now how is that gong to motivate them to get out to vote?
kato commented:
Yet another example of black parasitism. And these people demand respect. Hah.
One doesn’t demand respect. One earns it. And one doesn’t earn it by being a grifter that steals elections and games the system for all the handouts one can get.
snowman commented:

Mark1957 commented:
The solution of course would be to prosecute every fraudulent claim to the fullest extent of the law, but of course this won’t happen.
It reminds me of a recent story in the paper about a Metro bus getting into an accident while pulling out of the lot to begin it’s route. Even though the bus had no passengers at the time of the crash, 200+ people claimed that they were on the bus and were injured in the accident.

What a bunch of cockroaches we have in our country! How did this come about…..a nation that during the “Great Depression” would not take handouts because of pride and a desire to work for whatever is given, vs. the “I’m entitled” schlubs of today?! Entitlement Nation. Time to re-educate the population: the government does not owe you anything. You must earn your keep.
Even John Smith way back in Jamestown knew the truth: “If you don’t work, you don’t eat.” (a paraphrase of a Bible verse, I might add.)
Liberty-loving Americans – unite! Re-educate the brainwashed masses…now!
No Man commented:
You filthy crackers is learning what is like to be ruled by a black man.
Freddy commented:
What is also apparent, yet not mentioned, is that the root of this was an agricultural give away program!
These people started the lawsuit because they felt they DESERVED handouts that others were collecting.
We need to MASSIVELY cut Federal involvement in agriculture!

Just like they “deemed,” Obama eligible. They people who are silent, are allowing the entire country to be victimized by a group of bank robbers, with Obama the CIC(Criminal In Chief.) They don’t use guns, they just get their fellow bank robbers(Congress,)to vote yes, and then Soetoro signs it. Voila, theft at the point of a pen! To those that are enabling this foreigner to rape our country remember:
Silence in the face of evil is itself evil: God will not hold us guiltless. Not to speak is to speak. Not to act is to act.
—Dietrich Bonhoeffer
And yes Glen Beck, he is a Muslim. When do you stop believing a pathological liar? I have no respect for Beck.

Thank you for bringing this story to your website. If or when the Republicans take the House back in November, Congressman Steve King of Iowa wants to start an investigation into the Pigford Farm Scam.

WARNING!!! WARNING!!! The MSM considers such information being disclosed as blatant racism?
Little Nemo commented:
This is truely a sign of the end.
Now when bad things happen to certain interest groups, they get rewarded. I’m not sure there’s any analog in history to compare… People are NO DOUBT hoping bad things happen to them so they can COLLECT YO!!
OTOH, when bad things happen to whitey… well, its bad. Its reality.
The world is upside down. People sitting around hoping to be wronged or have their lives ‘ruined’ … This isn’t good by a long shot. I just know it doesn’t end well
