Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio)Ā said a lot of wild thingsĀ during his Sunday morning media blitz. But one of his comments has received far less attention than the others: Vance described a federal program that hasĀ distributedĀ nearly $2 billion to mostly Black farmers who experienced discrimination as ādisgraceful,ā suggesting that it is racist against white people.
And now, the head of the largest group of Black farmers across the country is condemning Vanceās assertions.
āHe owes us an apology,āĀ John Boyd, Jr., founder and president of the National Black Farmers Association, told me. The remarks, Boyd added, were ādisgraceful, deplorable, dumb, degrading, and disrespectful to the nationās Black farmers, the oldest occupation in history for Black people.ā
I thought they may have meant Friday. Or any of the other five days since. Yāknow, a Sunday barnstorm of Meet the Twaddle is customary, but - what, do they tape it a day ahead? Why would they write an article so late about it?
You just normally see an article about a Sunday press appearance earlier than Saturday. And for whatever reason, probably in large part because I make efforts to avoid that 1950ās excruciatingly overwrought political theatre brought to us by the makers of Parliament cigarettes, I didnāt see anything else about his predictably awful interviews.
Sorry to bother you.
Holy shit dude. For the last time, the article is about the founder of the National Black Farmer Associationās comments regarding what JD Vance said. Thatās why it was written on Friday. Vanceās comments were from Sunday. Then the NBFAās founder spoke out about it days later. I literally cannot dumb this down for you any more than I already have.
