[div class="excerpt"]Kucinich Calls for Justice for Black Farmers

WASHINGTON - April 21 - Congressman Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) joined southern Black farmers and the Network of Black Farm Groups today to highlight the need for Congressional action to appropriate funds to pay a court settlement for racially discriminatory practices by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

After decades of racially discriminatory practices at the USDA, the government settled with Black farmers in 1999 in a case known as Pigford v. Glickman. President Obama has requested Congress provide $1.15 billion to pay the tens of thousands of claims, yet Congress missed a March 31, 2010 deadline to appropriate the funds.

Kucinich's statement follows:

blah, blah, blah

I no longer think he is serious or honest. Kucinich - showboating and grandstanding, picking and choosing safe causes, feel good causes, and not there when the chips are down.

Making a feel good speech every now and then is all he does. It is worse than nothing, it is insulting and counter-productive. The plight of Black farmers is not new, and we don't need Kucinich shooting off his mouth to show everyone he is "on the right side."

I don't want him on my side.

Kucinich supporter. But I was a fool. I no longer give any credence to any of his "causes". He is a liberal - nothing else - a toady, a shill, a one of them...

Of course I made the mistake of reading over at OET today. I never get angry at things on the boards, but I am tonight. That is the worst thing I have ever seen on any of the boards, and that is saying a lot.

We know them. They can never hide from us ever again...
