Really funny you guys are mentioning food since there was something I saw yesterday regarding race and food that is funny to me.
Anyone democrats passed a bill to provide relief to black farmers. Sounds like repreparations but whatever.
Shade Lewis had just come in from feeding his cows one sunny spring afternoon when he opened a letter that could change his life: The government was offering to pay off his $200,000 farm loan, part of a new debt relief program created by Democrats to help farmers who have endured generations of racial discrimination.
It was a windfall for a 29-year-old who has spent the past decade scratching out a living as the only Black farmer in his corner of northeastern Missouri, where signposts quoting Genesis line the soybean fields and traffic signals warn drivers to go slow because it is planting season.
But the $4 billion fund has angered conservative white farmers who say they are being unfairly excluded because of their race. And it has plunged Mr. Lewis and other farmers of color into a new culture war over race, money and power in American farming.
There's a lot that is comical about this article and program. First, in order to fix decades of racism in farming, they decide to pay off the loan of a 29 year old who has only been at it for a decade himself. Secondly, the black farmer they find is light skinned and probably partly white himself.
Finally, the black farmer is married to a white woman.
So the farming repreparations democrats created to right the past wrongs of racism in farming is going to help one
checks notes novice mulatto farmer who is going to produce some over half white kids who will inherit his farm. Within a generation you are back at 'white people own all the farms.'
