Black Farmers SUE Federal Gov't For Screwing Them On $4B Debt Relief Program | Roland Martin

Black farmers are tired of waiting for their part of that $4 billion debt relief program.
Now, they are taking the federal government to court in a class-action lawsuit.

The plaintiffs say the government went back on its word to Black and other minority farmers when the relief program when white farmers complained.

The USDA released this statement regarding the billions of dollars promised to Black Farmers:
"USDA strongly supported the ARPA Section 1005 program and was ready to make payments to direct loan borrowers. However, the $5 billion that was intended to help farmers was frozen by three nationwide injunctions that prevented USDA from getting payments out the door. The government vigorously defended this program in the courts, but because of these injunctions, the $5 billion provided in ARPA remained frozen. This litigation would likely have not been resolved for years."

The President of the National Black Farmers Association, John Boyd spoke with Roland Martin during Wednesday's edition of Roland Martin Unfiltered about the massive lawsuit filed against the U.S. government.
