Vance described a federal program that has distributed nearly $2 billion to mostly Black farmers who experienced discrimination as “disgraceful,” suggesting that it is racist against white people.
But Vance’s assertions here are an inaccurate portrayal of the Discrimination Financial Assistance Program, the federal program established through the Inflation Reduction Act. Contrary to Vance’s claim, applicants were not limited to Black farmers; Any farmer who had experienced discrimination by the US Department of Agriculture—including based on sexual orientation or gender identity, religion, age, or disability—was eligible to apply.
That’s awesome. So it’s potentially available to non-whites, women, gays, trans-folk, atheists et al., and the disabled. But if you are a stereotypical cis-het white guy you’re out. I can see why Republicans would be pissed. I hope it makes them seethe uncontrollably.
Yeah, they removed about not getting their piece of the pie, yet they’ve eaten 99% of the pie already. They refuse to understand that the discrimination against non cishet white people has already enriched them.
