Damn, Steve King. Just when I think I can't be any more disgusted with your existence on this earth...
A very, VERY urban Senator? Why don't you just can him a nigger and get it over with? And your slavery reparations bullshit is just soooo wrong:On Monday night, he suggested that President Obama, as a senator, may have been prejudiced to help the black farmers."Figure this out, Madame Speaker: We have a very, very urban Senator, Barack Obama, who has decided he's going to run for president, and what does he do?" King said. "He introduces legislation to create a whole new Pigford claim."He then said the claims -- which stem from discrimination against black farmers in the 1980s and 1990s -- are "slavery reparations.""We've got to stand up at some point and say, 'We are not gonna pay slavery reparations in the United States Congress,'" he said.
Man, if there's a hell...King's argument is that the bulk of the Pigford II claims are fraudulent because there are fewer black farmers than claimants — a flimsy argument when you consider that many African-Americans lost their farms over the past few decades due, in part, to USDA discrimination that denied them loans — which is the point of the settlement program.
