I really hope you all prevail in your quest to correct an injustise. It just isnt right.

I think that everyone should be treated the same. I wish you luck.

I'm not sure I follow all the aspects of the situation, but if G-d is our father, we are all brothers. With the way anti discrimination laws in place and the williness of civil rights attorneys to jump on cases I can't imagine way any business or government agency would play around with race discrimination. I think it would be wise to avoid even the appearance of discrimination. In fact if a business or FSA agency is going to go against a black farmer, I would think it would have to do a better than normal job of making sure everything is correct and double checked by legal staff. Folks are folks and good and poor business practices can be practiced by any race, creed, sex, planet of origin, etc. I just think the folks accused better have a very good case for why things worked the way they did, otherwise there is going to be a Hildebrandt paying cash for a 2388 (or even a 8010) in the near future. I hope justice is done. Pat

There were some of those lawsuits filed around here. Some of them may have been valid, but most were pure B.S. I knew of several black "farmers" who weren't farmers at all until the lawyers started stirring things up and looked like money might be involved. Not saying that is the case here, of course, but I find it very hard to believe the federal government is actively practicing discrimination against minorities in this day and age. In fact, I tried to buy some land a few years back that had been repoed by the FmHA, and was told I couldn't purchase it because it was set aside for minorities only. Guess I should have suedIJ

If he farmed for several years on the supposed richest soil in the county then why the heck can't he keep farmingIJ Ever heard of a bank for operating loans. Should I go sue the FSA if they don't give me a loan and claim they did it because I am PolishIJ In 1920 there were a million black farmers and only 17,000 nowIJ Ok, how many white farmers were there in 1920 and how many nowIJ Interesting read but sounds like another crap shoot lawsuit to me.... should have went to school to be a lawyer.
