RFK Jr. Says His First Week In Office He Will Pay Black Farmers $5 Billion In Reparations

RFK Jr. says the first week he is in the White House he will pay $5 billion in reparations to Black farmers: “The 1st week I'm going to get rid of those people in USDA and get that money, that $5 billion dollars is not money that is an entitlement it's money that was a loan that black farmers were entitled to way back and was stolen from them through discrimination.” - “It was given to every other farmer, but if you were black, you wouldn't get it, and that's wrong. I don't think anybody who believes in the values of this country thinks that that's a good idea.” - “USDA is broken from the top down. It's not run for small farmers. It's run to benefit Big AG.” So a little more background, and always do your own research as well, RFK was speaking with a black farmer named John Boyd Jr. on his podcast when he said this.

Boyd Jr. is behind an effort to sue the Biden administration for watering down a proposed debt relief program aimed at helping people of color and 'socially disadvantaged farmers and ranchers' in the agriculture industry. The farmers did not receive the relief package as the money was stalled in courts due to white farmers complaining the debt relief infringes on their constitutional rights. Kennedy promised he will 'get rid' of the people who watered down the provision in the USDA and 'get that money' for black farmers 'when I'm in the White House.' White farmers made the argument that this entitlement was a violation of their constitutional rights and the bill was reworked in August as part of the Inflation Reduction Act and is now two funds. One fund is for $2 billion and will help farmers who have been discriminated against. The other is $3 billion which will go to the Agriculture department to help farmers who have faced financial strain, regardless of race.
