The Pigford settlement in 1997 required black farmers who were discriminated against to be paid $50,000 by the . Those to be awarded totaled less than 500 farmers by the US Dept of Agriculture. Magically, since then, the number of black farmers that received the $50,000 award has not only ballooned to well over the number of original claimants but it has far exceeded the actual number of black farmers.
Whistleblower Jimmy Dismuke is a real black farmer and once you hear what he has to say, you'll understand how so many non-farmers received the cash award - people were told that if they owned a potted plant, they were farmers.
Wow.
