Say what????



Did anyone else ever hear about this????

50K for any black american that says he attempted to farm?
First of all how can anythign like this be color specific?

This is insane


How everyone is not talking about this?
This is called the Pigford scandal apparently

I'm currently reading more on this, information is scarce

Thoughts?

Personally, I think that 9 trillion dollars to Banksters and there friends is a little more severe than this. Why should people play by the rules when the people heading us are not?

Im not saying freeloading is right, but lets take the plank out of the eye before we worry about the speck of dust hmm?

Looks about like the same thing a Bank president does.. Sit there with his little sign on his jacket and does nothing and get paid for it.....No difference here that I see between the two..Maybe the pan handlers are a class or two above the Bank president if anything different...

Everyone wants a free ride. Self respect and cooth go out the window when it comes to getting a hand out. Its amazing how people exploit themselves just for a little cash. No shame...

Funny how its unacceptable to mention race in any other context except when it comes to a free ride or a leg up. Seams like that the only thing the race card is used for is a way to get something for free or gain an advantage.

No one wants to be singled out for race. On the contrary they expect special treatment because of it. Its all quite confusing.
Some people need to grow up and realize that the world just isn't fair for anyone regardless of race and using race to complain about the unfairness of the world is just lame and pathetic.

your tax dollars at work and this was made possible by you know who: the left

a bankrupt nation and this idiocy is happening and there are millions who are getting paid for nothing.

given the billions of subsidies already given to farmers for not growning crops etc and guaranteeing prices on goods this doesnt surprise me.

The video made it sound as if most of the homeless people you see on the street are just scammers. But they arent. If you actually spend some time dealing with the homeless, you quickly learn to tell the scammers from the people who really need help. One thing I did want to say, if that woman with the dent in her forehead in the video makes it seem like most homeless people are drug addicts, and thats not really true. A fair number are, but there are quite a few whose only sin is mental illness.

The show was about all of the different ways people game the system and I think the OP was emphasizing the part about race because of how stupid it was. 50k for any blacks who attempted to farm and you have a parade of black people in the streets with coveralls and pitchforks.

I'm sure whites or whatever color you could think up would do the same given the chance. It would no doubt be Chinese lining up with straw hats if it was 50k for Chinese straw hat makers.

The point is people will exploit anything for money.

True in case of the fake destitutes

But as far as the 50K for black attempting farmers????

That's the govt.'s fault

Govt. shouldn't allow such insanely easy fraud

See the fake destitutes? It was the choice of the people to donate or not

As far as people saying they "tried" farming, that's money out of your pocket while you have zero say!

The Govt. is the number one perpetuater of race issues. Its easy to get people riled up about race. Some people fall for it head over hills though.

Exactly - which is why socialism (basicaly treating people as your extended family) only works for homogenous groups that share the same value system - as used tobe in Sweden say before the Muslim freeloaders overwhelmed it.

Introducing PC multiculturalism + socialism into a nation is a garuanteed way to destroy it - which is why the elites have done it of course - just look at the innercities of America over the last 50 yrs, and who has had exclusive control of them, they ought to be socialistic paradises by now.

Eritreia - has recently turned down any more international aid from the UN: stating that it causes more harm than good.

Well, Im glad the OP posted the other two videos, because the first two totally did not explain the issue. Its a lot more complex than "free loading." It seems to me to fall much more under the categories of "fraud, racism, and back door reparations."

www.dailynews-update.net...


That lawyer, Al Pires was recently interviewed for a Fox News segment by John Stossel, where a black farmer who was discriminated said that lawyers encouraged African-Americans to commit fraud by claiming they attempted to farm.

“They ended up creating a spigot for their neighbors who have never farmed before, who would simply have to state that they, wink, ‘attempted to farm’,” Breitbart said.

“All of the organizers on behalf of Pigford, in order to justify telling a mechanic or a pizza delivery guy or a lawyer, to get a $50,000 check when they never farmed before or attempted to farm before is to tell them in so many words that you deserve this, because this is backdoor reparations,” Breitbart said.

One hell of a way to keep social strife in the community is it not

I find this thread rather interesting as there certainly seems to be some kind of Social Engineering taking place in America and in saying this, in South Africa we are going through the same thing but in a different and a more ominous scale. If anyone is interested in reading further our farmers are being murdered in unprecedented numbers and the cover up of the Powers that be is outrageous. This phenomenon is so serious that we have for the 1st time become importers of food.

Pretty old news from November. Media swept this under the rug back then by demonizing Andrew Breitbart instead of the obvious racism of "pigford". I think this was on the list of things that were going to be investigated by the new congress, as it's too hot to touch for Eric Holder or the mainstream media. Too many people afraid to tackle the racism issue.

Im sure there's tons more info on Breitbart.com from November. I remember it being pretty intensive coverage.

That's all well and good to say, but self respect and "cooth" don't put food on the table.

"Hello Mastercard. What do you mean you're taking my house because I didn't make payments? Didn't you get that large bundle of self respect and cooth I sent you. What? You don't take cooth?"

All kidding aside.

I'm not happy because I didn't get a cut, but this is sort of what I advocated during the bailout as trickle up economics (at least as far as the farming thing is concerned). You give a check to poor people who immediately go out and spend it on the products they like which makes them happy, bails out the companies that provide products that the people want, and goes right back to the government in the form of taxes.

Now that sort of bail out might have created more jobs. Giving tax breaks and cash payouts doesn't make more jobs, creating a demand for more product causes companies to create more jobs to meet that demand. Heck, if you have a warehouse full of cars, giving someone a check isn't going to make them want to produce more cars so they can sit in the warehouse.
