Between the African, Hispanic and Native American Farmers--

We Owe LAND REPARATIONS amounting to $1 Trillion dollars

Gen Wm T Sherman

At the conclusion of our Civil War--the former slaves were promised 40 acres for each family. Many citizens of America's inner cities today are the descendents of America's Slaves. Although they basically never received their 40 acres--post 1865 they worked hard enough to become nearly one million Black farmers by 1920--who at that time owned 14 % of America's Farm Lands.

Agriculture Secretaries

Glickman / Vilsack

Glickman: " good people... lost their family land, not because of a bad crop, not because of a flood, but because of the color of their skin."

Over the next century nearly ALL OF THIS LAND--valued at $326 Billion--WAS LOST--not by laziness, mismanagement or bad weather....IT WAS ACTUALLY STOLEN--BY DEEPLY

ENTRENCHED RACISM WITHIN THE US DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE--AND BY DISHONEST NEIGHBORS.

How was this possible ? With today's capital intensive agriculture--its necessary for farmers to have many various large

machines--which require bank loans to procure.

With our racist banking system--minority farmers

were almost universally denied the credit they deserved at least as much as anyone else.

It is also necessary for

most farmers to take out substantial loans at the start of every growing season. who the farmers chiefly borrow from is the US Department of Agriculture. Who decides to approve each loan--OR NOT--are local offices of the USDA's Farm Service Agency (FSA).

Local Farm Service Agency Committees have historically been comprised almost entirely of white men. These committees--or racist gangs--if you will--have approved their white friends' and neighbors' loans immediately.

At the same time--year after century--they've taken even a whole year to approve the loans of African, Hispanic and Native American farmers.

Because of this RACIST ACTIVITY--the farmers of color--one after the other--throughout the past century--went broke. Then their neighbors bought their Hard-Earned /Sacred and Holy properties at auction--for far less than market value. This activity continued thru the Civil Rights era--and the Reagan and Bush Administrations.

Earlier in the 20th century--

as the African, Hispanic and Native American farmers undeservedly lost everything

--millions moved to Northern cities to find employment. For some reason--certain parties in America would have us believe that Blacks in the Rural South and Blacks in the Urban North are 2 unrelated and unconnected groups--when it is the case they are absolutely related and connected--often--half of the family remained in the South

--the other half moved North.

Land Theft from the Hispanic and Native American farmers

has been very similar to Land Theft from th African American farmers. This brings the total that we owe the 3 groups to right around

$1,000,000,000,000 or

1 Trillion dollars.
