To avert a lengthy court process that could potentially be appealed to the Supreme Court and jeopardize other social justice government programs like affirmative action, the legislative fix currently underway is to amend the Emergency Relief for Farmers of Color Act within the Build Back Better plan to include debt cancellation for “at risk” and “socially distressed” farmers, explains Stephen Carpenter. Carpenter is the deputy director and senior staff attorney at Minnesota-based Farmers’ Legal Action Group, a nonprofit law center that supports family farmers and receives substantial financial support from country singer and farmer advocate Willie Nelson.

However, with the Build Back Better plan dead in the water at this point, and no indication that even a “skinny BBB” will pass, Carpenter says the debt relief is frozen in place. If Miller’s lawsuit is “left to play itself out in the courts, the fastest imaginable result is many months.”

When the American Rescue Plan Act was signed on March 11, 2021, an estimated 16,000 farmers and ranchers of color were informed by the USDA’s Farm Service Agency that their direct and guaranteed loans were fully forgiven.

Included within ARPA, $4 billion was allocated to the Emergency Relief for Farmers of Color Act, a program intended to address the “cumulative effects of discrimination among socially disadvantaged producers,” defined as American Indians, Alaskan natives, Asians, Blacks, Pacific Islanders and Hispanics.


In an explanation of the debt relief, the U.S. Department of Agriculture acknowledges its history of systemic discrimination toward these producers, which was “sometimes overt and sometimes through deeply embedded rules and policies” since its founding in 1862. The loans were intended to be canceled at the rate of 120% to cover tax liabilities and other associated debt payment fees, and the payments were meant to “begin a new era of building trust” between the USDA and socially disadvantaged producers.

In April 2021, along with a bevy of other lawsuits across the nation, Texas Agricultural Commissioner Sid Miller filed a class-action lawsuit to halt the payments, claiming the debt relief is unconstitutional because it discriminates on the basis of race, excluding white farmers.


The lawsuit has left many farmers of color in the lurch, particularly in Texas.

FEDERAL JUDGES were striking it down after white farmers challenged it. At 7:00 he himself mentions Biden tried to get something going and it got blocked.

Yesterday we had a giant thread on black federal judges being put in and guess what? Bunch of folks act like it is no big deal. Then, instead of complaining about the lawsuits blocking the inclusion of relief for black farmers, he goes on a "Will Democrats do anything for black people?" Instead of educating his viewership about the importance of representation in the judiciary, this happens.

This is what I am talking about: white supremacists can block everything and Democrats get blamed. These matters are still in the courts.

 

[Neo. The Only. The One.]

Every time he appoints a black judge, you damn MAGA shilling "Trump is my dad" c00ns say its just symbolism and tokenism when brehs have been trying to get y’all to see that this is the exact reason why black judges are necessary. Trump appointed MAGA judges and those racist devils are doing their best to keep that money from getting to black farmers. There's nothing Joe can do besides letting it go through the court system.

I have a great fear that one day we will actually have some political sway and the loudest people with the least amount of knowledge how things work will fukk it all up by being impulsive and self-destructive. If you don’t even know who to blame when there’s a problem had a hell are you supposed to fix it?Of course he didn’t watch the video

Even the cat in the video did the “but but democrats “ shyt. These matters are in the court. The only good keeping it in the big bill would have done was subject the whole thing to challenges unrelated to black farmer relief. I have a great fear that one day we will actually have some political sway and the loudest people with the least amount of knowledge how things work will fukk it all up by being impulsive and self-destructive. If you don’t even know who to blame when there’s a problem had a hell are you supposed to fix it?

Biden Withdraws Support of Black Farmers
BOYDTON, Va., Aug. 9, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- After fighting for debt relief for over 3 decades, Boyd was elated when the Emergency Relief for Farmers of Color was passed and signed into law by President Joe Biden last year in the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021. Boyd met with Biden during the SC primaries to discuss the plight of Black Farmers and it was agreed upon that Biden would address Black Farmer issues. Again, last July (2021), Biden reaffirmed to Boyd he would have a face time meeting with him to discuss the ongoing struggles and delay of America's Black Farmers getting the long sought-after debt relief.


Black Farmers Face Delays In Pandemic Debt-Relief As Prices Soar

Candidate Biden Meets with John Boyd, Founder and President, National Black Farmers Association, Charleston, SC.

President Joe Biden meets with John Boyd, Founder and President, National Black Farmers Association, Washington, DC.

What could be worse than having another President to overturn legislation you enacted to help Black and other Farmers of Color during a pandemic; repealing your own legislation to take it away while they are being served foreclosure notices in a recession with the highest record of input costs in 40 years while sending hundreds of millions in aid to Ukraine farmers.

The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 Section 22008 repeals the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 Section 1005 which provided Black, Native and other Farmers of Color debt relief.
SEC. 22008. REPEAL OF FARM LOAN ASSISTANCE.
Section 1005 of the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (7 U.S.C. 1921
note; Public Law 117-2) is repealed.
"I'm very, very disappointed in this legislative action," he said in response to reading the final bill passed by the Senate. "I'm prepared to fight for debt relief for Black, Native American and other farmers of color all the way to the Supreme Court. I'm not going to stop fighting this."
"Discrimination at USDA against Black Farmers was rampant and severe. Section 1005 Loan Repayment program was a necessary step towards fixing those harms. To acknowledge and correct racism is not unconstitutional or racist."

That might actually be a thing worth doing. We have to watch the Supreme Court though. They already struck sort of a blow to agencies and this very well could also be something that gets scrutinized later. Losing the Supreme Court fukked so many things that its hard to know what well-meaning policy from agencies will make it.

Seems like the Democrats DIDN’T DO ANYTHING. They just said “it’s too hard, but let us put in a chess move to get your dumb black asses in the polls for midterms”

None of that “money” made it to their hands.

Just a performance. If there is the political will to do so, it will be done.

Did you read it my guy? Provisions to get black farmers relief is tied up in the courts. What does a judicial process have to do with the Democrats?
