it just took one phone call from y'all to forgive his debt but he's been calling for yrs. Systemic racism at it's finest!

[@maxinewest4096]

Interesting news coverage, hopefully they get the help they need for farming.. Americans farms definitely need to stay around..

[@samhouston1483]

How was he discriminated against? He was loaned a ton of $. Over $1M he says. And can’t figure out how to operate his farm…smh. You literally never explained exactly what happened here and why and how he was discriminated, ran up a bunch of debt and still can’t seem to figure out how to farm…unbelievable

[@greglowe4609]

He did mention he was promised forgiveness. That would be something to look into.

If my my state or federal gov contacts me and tells me I’m going to be given a grant then I’m expecting a grant. Lied to discriminated against take it as whatever you want it’s wrong though.

All citizens have never been equal! That’s a fact

race has nothing to do with farming or with going into debt. there are already anti-discrimination laws in place. the only reason your race is asked about is to ensure that you aren't being discriminated against.

[@teaaet1]

No but the USDA money distribution denials to black farmers, some who had higher crop yields than white farmers, sure does.

[@josephpadula2283]

They loaned him a lot money, where was the discrimination?
As far as the relief the president runs USDA. Push them to speed up payments !

[@Battleneter]

US farmers are among the highest subsidised in the developed world already, the basic information of "why" this farmer went into heavy debt is completely missing, so no idea if I agree with debt relief or not.

Corporate farms are the highest subsidized and not all of them are US owned. private family farms are going under everyday due to taxes. however in this case race has zero to do with any of it. there are already anti-discrimination laws in place and have been for quite some time.
