It's the right context these same people said that Trump was "good" for Black people.
White farmer lawsuits have blocked $4 billion of pandemic aid that was allocated to Black farmers

How are you gonna write better laws? Can you match the money that Steven Miller's people put up?this is just empty rhetoric. You dont even know what you're saying. You're just saying something obvious.

You got the money to go against ALEC?

This is just in Georgia.
They aren't a threat and they don't hate them nearly as much as they hate you.
Simple.

Farmers Reject Nicor's Pipe Dream
Residents of the historic Black farming community of Pembroke, Illinois want an energy upgrade—but they want renewables, not fossil fuels.

PEMBROKE TOWNSHIP, ILL . — At the end of a maze of dirt roads lies a 40-acre teaching farm called Black Oaks Center, where local residents gathered on a Sunday in November 2021 for a farmland restoration workshop and community gathering. “If you all want to bust wood again, they’re out there,” said Dr. Jifunza Wright-Carter — who runs the center with her husband, Fred Carter — to the newest arrivals. Some joined the group clearing felled trees for off-grid homesteading, while others stayed inside to warm up and chat.
“We’re this close to them installing,” says Wright-Carter, “and nobody knows where it’s going to come in. No one’s seen a map.”
In addition to raising food and hosting classes, Black Oaks has become a hub for organizing against a proposed natural gas pipeline some locals say threatens the area’s farming way of life, which is rooted in environmental stewardship.
Founded in the 1860s by Joseph “Pap” Tetter after he escaped slavery, Pembroke served as a refuge for others fleeing North and for local Potawatomi people evading displacement to reservations. It grew into the largest Black farming community in the northern United States. Farmers grew hemp there during World War II and supplied food to Chicago during the Great Migration. Generations of Black farmers have since preserved Pembroke’s rare three-biome ecosystem, known for its black oak savanna habitat.
“Regenerative agriculture was what we did by default, because we couldn’t afford any other method,” says Carter, whose uncle came here from the South in the 1950s and bought five acres.
Now, Nicor Gas is pursuing a $10 million plan to lay more than 30 miles of gas lines to connect hundreds of Pembroke households, despite opposition. Supporters claim the project will kick-start local economic development, while opponents warn it threatens Pembroke’s rich ecosystem and could displace Black farmers.
On Aug. 27, 2021, despite lobbying from Pembroke residents and environmentalists, Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker signed a bill that will allow the company to fund the pipeline in Pembroke, which is designated a “hardship area,” by raising rates on all Nicor ratepayers. Three weeks later, Nicor filed for a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity from the Illinois Commerce Commission (ICC) to begin installation in Pembroke Township.
Pembroke residents only found out about the request a month later, in October 2021, says Wright-Carter. She helped form the Pembroke Environmental Justice Coalition (PEJC) shortly after, which moved to intervene in court. But the lost month is emblematic of how the process has played out, Wright-Carter says.
Nicor’s virtual community meetings on Sept. 8 – 9, 2021, were held in the morning, when many residents were at work, in a community without reliable internet access — noted Gavin Kearney, senior counsel with the Chicago Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights, who represents PEJC. “This is not the process you would create if you were genuinely interested in whether the public wants this, and what their concerns are,” Kearney says.
“We’re this close to them installing,” says Wright-Carter, “and nobody knows where it’s going to come in. No one’s seen a map.”
Meanwhile, Mark Hodge, mayor of nearby Hopkins Park, is promising a local economic boost from the gas lines, and the Rev. Jesse Jackson, of the Rainbow PUSH Coalition in Chicago, calls the project a “big deal” and a “new day for Pembroke, a Black farming community that has been left behind.” Jackson adds it “will help bring business to Pembroke, and it will help others do business with Pembroke.
This will go over a lot of nikkas heads because democrats know best..

This is what we've been trying to get people to understand!!
THIS IS WHAT WE TOLD PEOPLE WOULD HAPPEN. ITS NOT ENOUGH TO STOMP YOUR FEET...YOU HAVE TO PASS LAWS TO GET YOU MORE OF WHAT YOU WANT, NOT SOME OF NOTHING.
SOME OF SOMETHING > ALL OF NOTHING!
MOVE SMARTER!!!
This is why people in ATLANTA celebrate Maynard Jackson. He got BREAD for black businesses in contracts!!!
NONE of these idiots know what SUCCESS or a WIN looks like so anything short of that they deem a failure because the social media algorithm won't honor moderate sensible content. These bombastic figures are an absolute detriment to the incremental and substantive gains we've sought!!!
Biden is out here passing laws but yall want BLACK in capital letters on it.
its not gonna work! You can't be 12% of the population AND lack international backing these other groups have and think you're getting different results.
Unless Nigeria or South Africa or Kenya or Ethiopia reaches Israel, Italy, French, Russian, Japanese, Indian, or Chinese levels of global influence then NO ONE will care in this country.
stop paying internet militants and clowns attentions.
So we should advocate for benign neglect and increased police brutality? Because that's what you get under Republican administration.
Also somehow illegals still get in under the GOP.
-How so?
You a goofy and don't understand black farmers are getting fcked regardless of political affiliation.. You just like that dumb c00n Jessie Jackson that consigned this shyt.. How you a black man and allowing white mfers to run a pipe line through black farmland? You so f*cking stupid.. All of you mfers.

That's the false dichotomy that's pushed to black folks from white liberals and bougie negros with sociology degrees that have a vested interest in black folks not progressing.
So spit on the hand that is giving you money? Money that was denied to you in the first place?
Farming the the biggest welfare scam known to Man. I know a white chick who's a dairy farmer shorty has like 60 cows and without the subsides she'd be broke, They have to sell the Milk at a loss but get a check on the backend from the government. Milk should be about 8 bucks a gallon to break even but they know the consumer will trip if Milk costed that much.
So what's the answer then? If you're Pro GOP just say that. I'm personally pro conservative Policies.

Breh this wouldn't even be happening if racism wasn't out in the open.
Obama made a payout to black farmers and nobody tried to challenge it because the outright hardcore racists weren't in power. They were banished to the fringes of society.
But since yall wanted racism in the open, now all the hardcore racists that used to be in the backwoods are now judges and whatnot.
Now they have control over stuff that directly affects us, such as this money that these black farmers are in extreme need of.
You can't see that?
This was Biden's maneuver all along, pander to Black farmers/voters while recognizing the judicial system would eventually muddy the waters & restrict the allocated funds
from the debit relief legislation.
"Some Black farmers argue that the Agriculture Department, led by Secretary Tom Vilsack, was too slow to disburse the debt relief and allowed critics time to mount a legal assault on the law.
"The Biden administration has been left with few options but to let the legal process play out, which could take months or years. The White House had been hopeful that a new measure in Mr. Biden’s sweeping social policy and climate bill would ultimately provide the farmers the debt relief they have been expecting. But that bill has stalled in the Senate and is unlikely to pass in its current form."
