Here is another article how the government sponsored racism.
And deprived minorities of their land.
This is why I do not trust the government or government programs

Black land ownership peaked in 1910, when 218,000 African-American farmers had an ownership stake in 15 million acres of land.
By 1992, those numbers had dwindled to 2.3 million acres held by 18,000 black farmers.
In 1920, one of out seven US farms were black-run; by 1992, African-Americans operated one out of 100 farms.
The USDA isn’t to blame for all of that decline, but the agency created by President Lincoln in 1862 as the "people’s department" did little to stem the tide—and in many cases, made the situation worse.
Now, this article is written from a liberal point of view and blaming of Republicans.
Which I do not understand as the racism continued under both Republican and Democrat administrations.
However, the overall point is not lost.
The owning of private property is the cornerstone of our nation.
Having grown up around black farmers/ranchers, I can tell you that their viewpoint on life is totally different than other friends I had who grew up in the city, usually raised by grandparents.
That independence is what we lost when the government sponsored racism against black farmers/ranchers.
