Woody Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 Obama plans to bail out "black farmers" with $1.25 billion according to the AP report authored by Ben Evans. Why do "black farmers" need a bail out more than white farmers would be my question? Quote May we be one so that the world may be won. Christian from the cradle to the grave I believe in Hematology.

Moderators lazarus Posted May 12, 2009 Moderators Share Posted May 12, 2009 Read the article again Red. Quote Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocrities. The latter cannot understand it when a man does not thoughtlessly submit to hereditary prejudices but honestly and courageously uses his intelligence.

Planey Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 Right on, Laz. Here is the report: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090421/ap_on_go_pr_wh/us_obama_black_farmers Doesn't appear to support what Red posted.

Key Guy Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 Although the case was hardly a hot-button political issue, it had drawn intense interest among African-Americans in the rural South. It was seen as a way for Obama to reach out in those areas where he was not well-known and where he would need strong support to win the Democratic primary. What's the problem? Obama got what he wanted... votes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
