Reparations demands rev up: RFK Jr. vows to give black farmers $5billion if he wins, Black Bostonians demand $15bil from city

[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has made a campaign promise to black farmers that will give them $5 billion in reparations should he win the 2024 presidential election. Kennedy, a one-time Democrat turned third-party insurgent, was speaking on a recent episode of his podcast with John Boyd Jr., founder of the National Black Farmers Association.

Boyd Jr. (pictured) is behind an effort to sue the Biden administration for watering down a proposed debt relief program aimed at helping people of color and 'socially disadvantaged farmers and ranchers' in the agriculture industry. The farmers did not receive the relief package as the money was stalled in courts due to white farmers complaining the debt relief infringes on their constitutional rights.

Kennedy promised he will 'get rid' of the people who watered down the provision in the USDA and 'get that money' for black farmers 'when I'm in the White House.' 'That $5 billion is not money, that is an entitlement,' he told Boyd Jr. 'It's money that was a loan that black farmers were entitled to way back when and was stolen from them through discrimination.' Kennedy has several programs attempting to outflank Biden from the left on reparations.

#1 The 'Inflation Reduction Act; (yes, poorly named) authorized $2 Billion or so for this same thing.

I'm not sure what the requirements are for applying but the law was based on people being discriminated against during execution of farm loan programs. So applicants probably have to show or maybe affirm under penalty of perjury, that they applied for a loan and were turned down.

If you guys got $1 billion each, that wouldn't be enough either, would it?
