Black farmers shut out of Trump White House farmers event: ‘Why can’t we be at the table?’

As President Trump hails his administration's efforts to support farmers amid rising costs, Black farmers facing foreclosure continue to get the cold shoulder.

President Donald Trump welcomed hundreds of farmers to the White House on Friday, in what the administration touted as a celebration of agriculture and American farm producers. On the South Lawn, decorated with a massive, obviously Trump-inspired gold tractor, the president hailed the event as the “single largest gathering of American farmers that the White House has ever seen.”

Noticeably missing from the crowd of farmers at the White House were the nation’s Black farmers, who have been repeatedly shut out of meetings and dialogue with the Trump administration, which has simultaneously eliminated several programs intended to address decades-long disparities impacting marginalized farmers at a time when many are facing foreclosures amid continued high costs in farm production, mortgages, and property taxes.

4. If there is a photo op,...

.... trDUMPie does not want Black people standing near him in the photograph. White racists need to not forget photos are indeed part of the historical record.

Besides his white supremacist voting block would not take too kindly to darker skinned folks around.

How pathetic.

5. Forcing black farmers into foreclosure so his buddies can buy it up cheap.

6. It'd be nice if the white farmers stood in unity with the black farmers.

It's like the MAGA who get upset that the deportations are hurting their businesses thinking it'd only hurt other people, not them. The white farmers should have learned by now that they're only one capricious decision away from being in the bullseye.

12. 'Unity'... 'thinking it'd only hurt other people, not them.'

8. There are white farmers and there are WHITE farmers, White farmers own a hundred or so acres and 200 head of cattle or

whatever.

WHITE farmers get $mega subsidies from the gub'mint. White farmers do not.


So were the farmers at the affair white farmers or WHITE farmers?
