Farm Credit

[WFM]

A customer stopped today to pick up some supplies. He said he had a Farm Credit loan for Bee, Maple and Firewood equipment. He said he received in the mail a letter that said Farm Credit had been ordered by President Biden to dissolve loans competely to individuals when family goes back two or three generations and were poor and suppressed.
He went to the Farm Credit office and spoke with his loan officer and explained his grand parents came to the USA learned english , worked in woolen mills his parents worked in shoe shops 80 hrs a week. They hunted for food to live. And he told her no family was poorer then his growing up.
The loan officer told him they are looking are families that didn't have the same opportunity's that your grand parents or parents had. He said my grand parents had to learn english. I guess I have no idea what your saying . Well she said the letter refers to individuals that were not like your grand parents but had less opportunity's. He finally said are you telling me I'm the wrong color skin to have my loan dissolved ?? That would be correct she said. He got up and left.

All I can say is back in the 70s when the mines around here closed, I went to see those people and was told pretty much the same thing. So yeah it is what it is, and my family started out with squat when they got here too, but alas there were Irish

Yeah, I see you points. I sure do miss the old days. . .

when you could redline to keep minorities from getting mortgages in 'certain' areas.

when you didn't have to share your drinking fountain with black people.

When you had Jim Crow laws in place that kept minorities in their place because they couldn't vote.

before school segregation when you could underfund 'minority' schools and save $$$ for the town

when I didn't have to worry about running into 'inferiors' at hotels because the management was smart enough not to let them in.

when the better hospitals were 'white only'

when my country club could exclude blacks and jews

when professional athletics was a whiter shade

when college athletics was a whiter shade

when I could go to a nice restaurant and not have to worry some minority might be sitting at the next table.

when cops could beat up minorities with impunity.

when I didn't have to share the front half of the bus with, well, you know who.

when colleges could keep their enrollment 'pure'

when some minority person started raising a stink about some 'right' he thought he should have and I could get my hooded friends to beat the crap out of him or just lynch him.

yeah, you guys are right - I sure do miss the old days.

I believe this is the program that this thread is referring to. It was halted by a Federal judge based on potential Constitutional issues.

So you agree that race based discrimination is wrong. And race based advantage is equally wrong because another race would suffer for it.

So you’re cool with reinstating discrimination?

How very racist of you.

[Steppenwolfe]

Sorry if I offend some one but reverse discrimination is still discrimination.

Wait till we finally have reparations... That's gonna be a lot of fun. Get your check book out boys...

I seriously doubt you are suffering because you are white. Cut me a break...

Racism has no place here or anywhere actually.

Its interesting that so many things these days either have to have the label "racist" or "non-racist". What happened to just being able to have an adult conversation about serious topics and utilizing critical thinking skills. I'm old enough to remember a time when two people with completely different opinions could have a discussion and not call each other names or hurl insults at each other. Both people could walk away never agreeing with each other but also not hating each other.

It would be interesting if we could see what future anthropologists have to say about our civilizations and our behaviors that we exhibit today.
