How much money are Black farmers getting from the COVID relief bill? Here's the Washington Post:
Of the $10.4 billion in the American Rescue Plan that will support agriculture, approximately half would go to disadvantaged farmers, according to estimates from the Farm Bureau, an industry organization. About a quarter of disadvantaged farmers are Black. The money would provide debt relief as well as grants, training, education and other forms of assistance aimed at acquiring land.
So that's one quarter of one half, or 12.5% of the entire amount. Lindsey Graham calls it "reparations," while Sean Hannity uses it as an excuse to whip up the usual Fox News hysteria about white people getting screwed yet again.
You'd think even these two might be a little embarrassed about what they're doing, but they aren't. To them, fanning the flames of racism is just a smart political move. This is what we get from Republicans when we try to do even the smallest thing to concretely help Black people and other minorities.
Nuntes vulpes delenda est!
Yet Graham was one of four Republicans to vote for Deb Haaland's confirmation. I really don't understand that boy.
Maybe HAMBUSCUITS! was trying to impress a Gay Cherokee.
It's as if deep down he doesn't really believe in anything.
They are going to pound the racism because that's what's worked for them for the last 40 years. If something else comes up, they'll pounce on that like any other opportunists, but the racism is always going to be the core of who they are.
Racism??? No, you mean Zionism. It's at the core of their goal of plutocratic dictatorship and international slave states. Baiting the sheep is all you see.
Shootie, do you do anything but drink and post? Going by the timestamp, this isn't healthy behaviour.
Life is life. If you can't handle the truth and your own self-dislike, that is your problem.
Shootie go (hic). Pour yourself another, drunk boy.
I hope Stan van Gundy doesn't ruin Williamson, too.

Graham is shameless. Hannity is soulless.
Hannity is an Irish name.
Is Sean a secret ginger?
Lol, this kind of virtue signaling is dumb and will backfire. Anybody who followed that part of the ARA knows that was a bribe to poor white farmers who at the prime age level got 70% of the money. Hannity is a Zionist shill who wants white's to hate themselves.
Zionism. That one word says it all. За здоровье, comrade.
Life is life. Zionism is zionism. Playing it straight in 2000's was good enough. Lets try and use race for white's to destroy themselves with self-hatred. Zionism needs to be crushed
Fox must be destroyed. Is that the right translation?
It is; but, as ever and anon, looking at the storyteller instead of looking at the audience.
Too bad that WordPress doesn't provide an "ignore" feature.
Indeed.
One of these days, they're just going to fling caution to the wind and wear their jodhpurs and jackboots in public.
The Log Cabin Republicans will rise again!
They'll take up polo? 🙂
I thought I saw a couple of them wearing hip waders.
Isn't that why Gym Jordon rolls up his sleeves in committee?
He knows it is too late to save his pants.
Old joke, but a reasonable explanation for the fellow.
Using Google Translate for "nuntes vulpes delenda est," I got "message foxes destroyed" and am thinking this is a call to destroy Fox news messages??
I think it's "Fox News must be destroyed. "
I am rather shocked by this. It isn't the nuanced and insightful analysis of issues I expect from Hannity or Fox...
😂
Meanwhile, African Americans are 13.4% of the U.S. population, so 12.5% might be slightly below their proportionate share (I'm not sure what % of farmers are AA though)
They are around 20% of all low substance farmers and are 25% of the prime age population.
So, the funding is even less in line with their share of the farming population.
The Latin isn't syntactically correct, I think. We would want:
"Nuntia vulpis delenda est."
My Latin is rusty, but "nuntia" is the neuter plural substantive adjective derived from "nuntio": "to announce". Vulpis is the singular genitive and "delenda" should be neuter plural, which coincidentally looks like the feminine singular in the original "Carthago delenda est", but it's actually not feminine singular. But the literal translation is "The announcements of the fox must be destroyed."
Oh wait, but I fucked up the verb: "Nuntia vulpis delenda sunt." Duh, because it's plural.
Good intel. I've always wanted to learn Latin.
Oh god, Catholic High School PTSD kicking in...
🙂
I think Vulpixes are cute....heh.
Anyhow that rough ammount seems like the proper ammount they should get to me.
African Americans are what percent of the population again?
Wait till they find out African Americans are ~21% of all recipients of SSI benefits. Let the Vulpes do a full frontal assault on Social Security and see how that works out for them next election.
A minority consisting of 14% of the population is only getting 12.5% of the assistance money. Huh.
But they are taking it from my share of the farm subsidy!
Even though I don't farm, I deserve my share, damnit!
Just a couple of reminders

Notice how Mitch McConnell describes assistance to black farmers who have been screwed by the system for over 150 years as part of "the liberals' wish list." Racist? How dare you say that!!!
A little history on black farmers:

Two men are seated across from a plate of cookies. Republican comes along, pockets all but one and then tells one guy "Watch out--he'll take your cookie."
(In case you never heard it.)
And stop whining about FoxNews. Do something!

Or you can go on paying Hannity's salary.
