Here Is Why There Are Few Black Farm Owners

In 1910 black farmers made up 14% of all farmers. Today they make up fewer than 2% and own less than 1% land in rural America.


It's amazing all the ways America can find to avoid treating everyone equally. My deceased mom said frequently "we stink". She told several stories she directly experienced. I didn't take her seriously. I do now. The United States has a lot of atoning to do.

Before things can be made right we first have to acknowledge our dark history. Then admit it's ever presence even in today's society. This doesn't only apply to blacks but how this nation's people have always deemed others who don't have the "right kind" of cultural history, family wealth, viewpoint or lineage as unworthy.

We need to fix this or are bound to this unrelenting ever
repeating cycle of discontentment much as it were 1966 yet again.
