Maybe you guys remember that the Biden admin was trying an "equity" in farming thing (prioritize blacks in COVID/economic relief for farmers) that resulted in white farmers filing lawsuits for discrimination. It turns out that Biden is backing off a bit.
The new program, which makes farmers eligible for relief based on economic precariousness rather than race, is likely to end that litigation and free up resources allowing the Department of Agriculture (USDA) to help farmers - including those of color - avoid foreclosure
Legal experts have said the government is likely to lose that case, and that an appeal could send the case to the conservative-majority Supreme Court, potentially threatening other so-called race-conscious programs like affirmative action.
The admin is changing it to be economically based instead because they don't want to fight the lawsuits which would risk putting all sorts of "equity" programs on the chopping block in the court system.
"It does not even approach a racial equity model that this administration and the USDA has been speaking about since the beginning of its term," said Dãnia Davy, director of land retention and advocacy at the Federation of Southern Cooperatives, which advocates for Black farmers.
Of course there is a whole ass organization dedicated to dispossessing white farmers and securing the loot for blacks. I'm sure it's one of many, and they aren't happy about this little set back. I really hope we can dissolve these types of organizations, seize their assets, and incarcerate their leadership someday in my lifetime, but I'm not holding my breath.
