Witness - Forty Acres and a Dream - Part 1

[fume44]

Racism, 40 acres and a mule, Respect....not in the United States for the African-American...big-up to all my black family.

[CMLovejoy]

This story is a good example of reverse racism.

Race doesn't matter in farming.

Black farmers have recieved money they just don't use it right. There are millions of white farmers yet only a couple thousand black farmers. What it says is even after government help blacks have not used the money the right way. Stop with your anti-white crap its getting old and fast.

[Hihowyouare]

Bullshit Al-Jagay there are 77,000 black farmers in 1997.Blacks have been riping off the US government, over 1 million blacks have applied for compinsation for farms. Even after the million blacks have applied today there are now less then 38,000 black farmers. What dose that say it says that blacks have been stealing money, and not building farms with the money the get. Their steal money go look at the American Renaissance article on this.

Who would have thought AlJazeeraEnglish would have an anti western bias.

[superRoadie]

I agree with RSCII, and making films like this just encourages racism. I sometimes beleive that black Americans (which is what you are now... you're black... and American...) should get over the whinging. Yes you used to be slaves (so did white people, by the way) yes it was all very bad but we have moved on from that. Almost every country had slaves and it's mostly been abolished... but is was what 200 years ago? Teach it, don't hang onto it. Stop looking to be "opressed" when you're not!

Get yourself some in depth knowledge on this particular subject. The National Black Farmers Association filed a suit against USDA a decade ago which USDA was found guilty of discrimination.

They are still battling to obtain the money that was won in the suit.

Read some articles on the subject. Stop assuming you are well versed on what has happened.

You will be hearing about this again due to the recent study about how the USDA has not followed the court's decision.

[novembertalespinner]

It is obvious that you do not have any in depth knowledge on this particular subject. The National Black Farmers Association filed a lawsuit against USDA a decade ago. The USDA lost the suit and was ordered by the court to pay for their discriminatory practices. A recent study has been conducted and the USDA has failed to meet the court's order. They are still trying to obtain the money that was awarded due to INTENTIONAL discrimination.

what a bunch of CRAP. it's BOTH WHITE AND BLACK FARMS THAT are getting fucked over by the government. It has nothing to do with race and everything to do with globalized agrabusiness.

this guy looks like tiger woods

[cycimian]

Farmers no matter what colour or religon are givers of life, Its a hard job and only those who are devoted to the land can do that walk, If anything when a farmer goes under its a real sin against man.

[rverduzc]

You don't have to be devoted to the land. Agribusiness is devoted to profit.  They farm much of the land in the USA. Corporations sell food that sustains life and get a nice profit. Man generally gets fucked.

[cycimian]

cant argue and wont ever argue with that wisdom rveduzc

[hajqbvii]

The small family farms, white and black, are being plowed under by the corporate agri-business with help from federal government!The only racism is in the way federal lending institutions view family run farms!

[takerdust]

The government needs to get their ass out of the way of the Farming Industry
