Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has made a campaign promise to black farmers that will give them $5 billion in reparations should he win the 2024 presidential election.
Kennedy, a one-time Democrat turned third-party insurgent, was speaking on a recent episode of his podcast with John Boyd Jr., founder of the National Black Farmers Association.
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.

He can pay for it out of his personal funds! Once a Kennedy, always a Kennedy...free and easy with everyone else's money.

Not out of our taxes, mister.
He can fund it out of his own pocket or his families pockets.

Didn't California have some massive reparations idea last year?
Funny how that dropped off the radar.

The correct solution is to get out of the farmers' way and strip away the government regulations that have strangled them. Farming is hard, honest and necessary work so the government should keep their noses out of it. RFK lost what little following he had.

Oops! I thought that this was going to be Biden's October surprise. Promising all black Americans that he would work on providing reparations. "Work on", "address", "seriously consider", etc. are all code words for not actually doing anything, but vote for me.

Didn't this racist scheme already go to court and be found illegal/discriminatory? It was the and it is now. Of course, Democrats never think court rulings apply to them and their plans.

There was a plan that made it thru congress and onto the prez' desk that paid reparations to freed slaves, right after the civil war. 40 acres and a mule. President johnson vetoed it.

Since racial reparations have no credible justification, their recipients don't deserve it, so guess what...no matter how much is given, they'll later claim it was not enough, and they need more.

I didn't know RFK Jr had $5B OF HIS OWN MONEY to give to black voters to buy their votes.
NFW is that $5B coming out of the US Treasury without Congressional approval. Even then, it is illegal and unconstitutional.

Have no desire to transgender myself. But, if possible, I would like to transrace myself to being black. If you are black you can say or do almost anything and get away with it and there always someone who wants to give you money.

RFK Jr (and Joe Biden) should hang a 'for sale' sign around their head. So should anyone looking for free money. Is pandering a form of corruption? It says, 'I can be bought!'.
We don't need corrupt leaders. Sad truth of the matter is we got corrupt leadership because corrupt voters voted for them. Our government truly is a reflection of the people.

Black farmers aren't the only ones hurting with the Democrat policies of messing with good sense farming. They want us to eat bugs and quit farming all together. Check out what Zuckerburg and Gates are pushing as ardent members of that party. Run for the hills folks if these maniacs stay in power.

I know two farmers in GA. Both literally born on the same day. Both raise cows and hay. Both are very similar in everything except one is black and one is white. Guess which one has NEVER been given reparations and giveaways? Mine, the melanin-challenged one!

#49, 'Lifting people up and into to a better life' is exactly what the Democ'RATS DO NOT want to do!
The 'RATS depend on the 'gimme-dat' dependent class to stay in power.
The system is to steal from the middle class and give to, and perpetuate, the dependent class. The dependent class -egged on by the Leftist Lamestream media- then votes for the 'RATS to keep the freebies coming and keep the scam going.
Lifting anyone up to a better life involves them working and earning a decent living. At that point they will not want to pay the 'RATS taxes which go to support the gimme-dats, and will start voting Republican and Conservative, which would kick the 'RATS out of power. Can't have THAT!
