According to AG Eric Holder and Sec Ag Tom Vilsack the USDA
discriminated against black farmers during the 1980s and 90s. Indeed, they discriminated so much against them that over 100,000 of the 18,000 black farmers that farmed during that period are going to receive payments for past discrimination. Yet no USDA employee has been either fired or reprimanded for breaking the law and discriminating against every single black farmer in this period. Apparently they won't be prosecuted for breaking any physical laws either because to discriminate against 100,000 of 18,000 one would need to be able to travel to parallel dimensions and discriminate against their farmers too.
This is what happens to a government that is controlled by fascists. Concepts like truth, justice, fairness and protecting the taxpayer go by the wayside as raw power seeks its due. Oh, did I mention that no judge was involved in this latest settlement? The AG and Secretary just got together and decided that they needed to 'pay' these 'settlements' to do 'justice'. What do you want to bet that the 100,000 "wronged farmers" are almost a perfect match for core Obama supporters? Chicago politics at their worst.
"Pigford" indeed.
