As President Trump hails his administration's efforts to support farmers amid rising costs, Black farmers facing foreclosure continue to get the cold shoulder.

President Donald Trump welcomed hundreds of farmers to the White House on Friday, in what the administration touted as a celebration of agriculture and American farm producers. On the South Lawn, decorated with a massive, obviously Trump-inspired gold tractor, the president hailed the event as the single largest gathering of American farmers that the White House has ever seen.
Noticeably missing from the crowd of farmers at the White House were the nations Black farmers, who have been repeatedly shut out of meetings and dialogue with the Trump administration, which has simultaneously eliminated several programs intended to address decades-long disparities impacting marginalized farmers at a time when many are facing foreclosures amid continued high costs in farm production, mortgages, and property taxes.

Besides his white supremacist voting block would not take too kindly to darker skinned folks around.
How pathetic.

(14,770 posts)It's like the MAGA who get upset that the deportations are hurting their businesses thinking it'd only hurt other people, not them. The white farmers should have learned by now that they're only one capricious decision away from being in the bullseye.

WHITE farmers get $mega subsidies from the gub'mint. White farmers do not.
