Title: The Black Farmers Plight


1
  • The Black Farmers Plight
  • Black farmers have been the backbone of
    this country since our sojourn here to the
    Americas. We have built this nation using the
    agricultural knowledge of our ancestors, while
    suffering under the tyranny of our oppressors.
    We were stripped of our land through deceitful
    means, by force, and through tax laws. We
    endured through many trials and much suffering.
    Even to this very day we are suffering under the
    foot of the USDA who--with major chemical
    companies--are trying to control the worlds food
    supply. Enough is Enough!.

  • Africas Plight
  • Due to colonialism, greed, and economic
    dependency, the indigenous peoples of Africa have
    suffered starvation and economic hardship. The
    World Bank and International Monetary Fund have
    crushed many Sub-Saharan African nations
    economies while most of the descendants of
    European colonialists continue to own majority of
    the productive and arable land in those nations.
    Those white farmers grow and sell their produce
    on the commodity market while the indigenous
    people starve. To add injury to insult, the G-8
    countries with chemical companies have bombarded
    the continent with genetically-modified seeds
    that are sterileproducing only one crop. This
    makes the African nations dependant on those
    chemical companies for seeds each year.

  • Black farmers are still fighting for their rights
    and their land.
  • USDA have made it difficult with discriminatory
    loan practices, unequal access to subsidies, and
    other unconstitutional practices. The main
    problem for farmers is lack of money. WE HAVE
    THE SOLUTION!

  • Our company is presently in negotiations
    with the governments of The African Union to
    trade non-genetically altered seeds from the US
    to the African Union. There is a high demand for
    these seeds, and we are going through the
    difficult process of verifying that every seed
    that we sell are non-genetically altered. We are
    negotiating an initial 200 million investment
    from The African Union in order to help all
    participating farmers and cooperatives to get
    back up to standard and to help produce the
    crops needed to produce the various seeds
    demanded by these nations. We also realize that
    there are efforts to mix the genetically-altered
    seeds with non-genetically altered seeds by the
    chemical companies and the US government, so
    expediency is important . All that we are asking
    from you is information needed ,so that we can
    show the details of the purpose and location of
    where the initial investment will be used .
