The Biden administration is once again embroiled in allegations of racial discrimination, this time involving the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and a loan forgiveness program that reportedly excluded white farmers. A whistleblower has come forward, revealing that the Biden USDA, under Secretary Tom Vilsack, deliberately denied loan relief to white male farmers while guaranteeing assistance to all non-white applicants. This shocking revelation mirrors the infamous Pigford scandal of the Obama era, where billions were funneled to minority farmers—often fraudulently—while white farmers were left behind.
The whistleblower, who spoke anonymously to NewsNation’s Elizabeth Vargas Reports, stated:
“It was to pay off anyone who wasn’t a white male’s loan. That was the only qualification for this loan forgiveness…they [officials] were trying to keep this hushed because of the obvious implications of race-based loan forgiveness.”
This blatant racial discrimination has sparked outrage among farmers like James Dunlap, who told NewsNation:
“To me, it was just combating racism with more racism. I couldn’t believe it was happening in today’s age.”
The parallels to the Pigford scandal are undeniable. Under the Obama administration, then-USDA Secretary Tom Vilsack oversaw a massive payout to minority farmers—many of whom filed fraudulent claims—while ignoring the rights of white farmers. As the New York Times later admitted, the program was riddled with fraud, including claims from “nursery-school-age children” and urban residents who had never farmed. Now, Vilsack is back at the USDA, and history is repeating itself.
The liberal media, which largely ignored the Pigford scandal until it was too late, is once again silent. Where are the headlines condemning this racist policy? Where is the outrage from the same activists who claim to fight for “equity”? Instead, the Biden administration continues to push divisive, race-based policies while the press turns a blind eye.
Watch
President Donald Trump, in contrast, has always stood against such discriminatory practices. His administration prioritized merit-based policies that treated all Americans equally, regardless of race. While Biden and Vilsack revive the racial grievance industry, Trump’s legacy remains one of fairness and economic opportunity for all farmers.
