Young Blacks Want To "Reclaim" US Farmland.

WE CREATED THAT. NOT YOU. So how is it all of the sudden "we can't farm" and "you can"?

HUSBANDRY AND FARMING ARE NOT THE SAME THING!!

Black people have largely been expelled from the US agricultural landscape. In 1920, nearly a million Black farmers worked on 41.4 million acres of land, making up a seventh of farm owners. Today, only about 49,000 of them remain, making up just 1.4 percent of the nation’s farm owners, and tending a scant 4.7 million acres—a nearly 90 percent loss.

Might as well salt it and burn it now.

They're in the same ballpark. I've done both all my life. Cattle ranching, market gardens, commercial hay. It's not a life for weak souls. Most urban or suburbanite white kids couldn't handle it. And the black hip hop culture, forget it.

Their ancestors had to be beaten to get them up and working. Some of my family descended from slaves. My distant cousins are too lazy to work, too scared to steal, and just wait on their check.

ok- you obviously know zip shit about 'farming!- so you think you can jut you tube how to fix a tractor? How about afford a brand spanking new combine? do you know how to survive if your crop fails because of blight? do you know which crops grow best in your area and why? and let me tell ya chief, after you watch a million videos on homesteading and small farming- get yourself a book called Five Acres and Independence, then come teach me how to grow lettuce, broccoli and spinach -- without chemicals to kill the grasshoppers... if you do not want chemicals then you need chickens, ginnies are best for bugs...Then you want major crops like Wheat, Sorghum, soybeans or perhaps corn? How do you want to plant them-- Amish style or modern? Amish is cheapest, but a hell of a lot harder then you think!! Modern, well we go back to the equipment needed... you got a lot of monies??? the old stuff breaks down and you need to know where to get the parts and/or rig it up!! New equipment is expensive and cost a lot to fix... Then there is storage of grains- will you do it onsite or at a grainery? what is the going price of the grain?? did you prepare your soil for the crop??? hell I can go on and on--- but you google your little heart out... and may I suggest you start small with your farm.. try you south facing window for herbs and a planter outside that is about 3 to 4 feet deep and 2 feet wide to grow 1 tomato plant (and if you want a variety of tomatoes, you will need to put some distance between the different tomato species..) Pay attention to the weather... do not water when the sun is fully out-- you may need to water twice a day... if you are able to successfully grow tomatoes- I suggest that you learn to properly can them and even try to sell them at a farmers market! Good luck my fellow future farmer

My family got here through indentured slavery . from that to some of this nation's greatest leaders as well as badassed jerks . life's what we make it . I am descended from some of those dipected in the statues recently torn down as well as others that stood and died fighting their causes . that is what this great nation is founded on . freedom to choose right or wrong , the people choose their own course regardless of color .

In all fairness, learning something from the internet, a class, or a book is not the same as real world experience. I took an intensive 4 month long master gardener class a couple of years ago and the main takeaway for me was how much MORE there was to learn. To say that information about farming is 'easily learned and applied' is grossly understated, and any experienced farmer would laugh at the thought.

You don't need tractors or combines for farming. Plants naturally grow on their own. All you need is a little prep and set up and you can have bug free, easy vegetables. Again, plants NATURALLY GROW ON THEIR OWN. You don't have to do much at all but plant them and pick them.

lol not worried about that, big corporations own most now.
Stupid subject.

fraid you are ignorant

not all farms are Walmarts


most aren't

if 13% (black) were involved in all industries at 13% that would be a 1st in human history.
65%(white) are NOT involved across the board at 65%.

WAKE THE F UP PEOPLE. This is propaganda to weaken the country of invasion.

How did the south American caravans start? Where are those people now? When do they get involved?

You think Trump and the people that work for him DID NOT see this coming?

All of this is the same ole war tactics that are played out throughout history.

Get ready. I do mean that. GET READY!

Stop looking at these events as one-offs because they are NOT.
They are all connected.
Hell even the covid checks promote riots and protests.
No work. Money to live, Something to be pissed at even if it was planned. For those that can not live on 1200 and can not understand HOW to live on 1200. You have never been poor. Most of the very poor pissed off people see this as wining the lottery. Now they do not have to worry so much about food so now they will hit the street to vent.

This is ALL planned.

If your unable to see this then you planing skills are about as good as your next paycheck.

fraid you are ignorant

not all farms are Walmarts


most aren't

That may work for your little garden in your backyard. Not in commercial farming. Idiot.

christ, this thread is showing us how uninformed people are on where their food comes from, isn't it?

Canada has been giving free land to blacks since the American War of Independence. They have inter-married with whites and bred themselves out of existence for the most part.

In 1905, a large contingent of black people from the USA settled in Athabasca, Alberta. I met one of their great grandchildren once, and had to be told that she was black. Aside from the curly hair, she looked white to me.

John Ware, a freed slave and cowboy led one of the first cattle drives to Alberta, working for a farming syndicate. He claimed some land for himself and became the first private rancher in Alberta. None of his children had children of their own.

There was a soul food restaurant in Toronto called the Underground Railroad. It was owned by descendants of the Harriet Tubman immigration, but I have never met any others who can trace their ancestry back to there.

The oldest black settlement in Canada is in Pictou county, Nova Scotia. These are the descendants of 3,000 black loyalists, including some from George Washington's forced labour camp, who escaped to freedom during the War of Independence. Many of them found Canada too cold and resettled in Sierra Leone or the Caribbean. For those who stayed, prejudice and discrimination kept them insular and they are still a visible community to this day.

Race is skin deep, blood lines are more important.
