Paul, I hate to read ignorant nonsense... How long can some white American continue on living a lie? If the Government didn't have proof just like any other law in this land you must prove your situation and it's stupid for idiots to believe someone didn't farm or planned to farm.. Michelle Bachmann is a racist monster and you can't believe that she has a chance in hell of winning the Presidency you just can't be that damn sick..At least I'm hoping you're not.

And Paul you know this because...A co-worker of mine told us about an uncle of hers that receives a check (subsidy) from the Federal Government to NOT farm in Neb. Michelle B's father-in-law receives a farming subsidy of which she and her husband are partners. So it's okay for my co-worker's uncle and Michelle B's family but not the Black farmers.
And, by the way Paul, the Black farmers had to take this to the U.S. Supreme Court. So if there was a problem with fraud the case would have NEVER made it to the Supreme Court.
You white people crack me up. Whenever Black people prevail over you, you always play the race, fraud card. Even when a case goes to the Supreme Court.

I hope she wins the G.O.P Primary. She seems like Palin 2012! Naive, nauseatingly out of touch, and lacking in political eloquence. Ultimately a loser and a post political novelty act for Tea Party egos.

Those of you who think this woman is killing her chances to be elected, DON'T KID YOURSELF!!.
1. She is trying to appeal to the Racist element in US society and there a a lots of overt and covert racist in the USA
2. AFRICAN-AMERICANS MAKE UP ONLY 12.4% OF THE U.S. population. THAT IS NOT ENOUGH PEOPLE TO SWAY AN ELECTION.
Unfortunately, you may be looking at your next president, God Forbid.

Really, a waste of money is your presidential campaign. I have a better chance at hitting the lottery then you do at winning a primary. I agree w/ eyeball, this isn't the 40's!!

In response to Mission. No my son, my comment was not 'ignorant nonsense'. There was a very well research piece in the News about this program. In fact the originator was a black farmer. He did indeed suffer from discrimination with respect to a loan application. But what he investigated and proved that most of those who took advantage of this program were never farmers. Some slick white lawyer signed up thousands merely on the bases that they claimed they wanted to farm. There were surely black farmers that were disadvantaged, the the vast majority of people you got these funds were just scamming the system. You can look it up, if you like.
