When
Andrew Breitbart posted the video of
Shirley Sherrod at an
NAACP toshow proof of racism within that organization, he had no idea of the firestorm that was going to occur. The first blow was the USDA's firing of Ms. Sherrod. Then there were cries that Breibart was trying to undermine "
Pigford". Up to this point, Mr. Breitbart had not heard of Pigford, nor had very many Americans. What has come out about Pigford since that time is evidence of reparations to blacks through the back door. Reparations, which could cost U.S. taxpayers Trillions of dollars. This article by "Abraxas" at the blog
Uncoverage is well researched and should be read by every American to understand the fraud that is being done to the taxpayers of this country.

| Farmers protest for reparations, February 15, 2010 |
On December 12, 1996, a handful of black farmers, led by John Boyd (founder of the “
National Black Farmers Association”) gathered on the frozen grass of Lafayette Park across from the White House to protest what they claimed was widespread racial discrimination by the USDA against black farmers. This protest prompted President Clinton to pressure then Secretary of Agriculture
Dan Glickman to investigate if these claims were true.
Glickman promptly suspended all government farm foreclosures pending the outcome of a ‘listening tour’ the following month (January 1997) in which Civil Rights Actions Teams (“CRAT”) traveled across the country gathering information on whether the black farmers’ claims were true. While the investigation discovered that only 205 claims (two-tenths of one percent) out of a total of 116,261 loans and crop payments issued by the USDA’s Farm Service Agency had triggered complaints by black farmers, the 120-page report (“Civil Rights at the United States Department of Agriculture”) stated there was widespread discrimination against black farmers.
