Today, the phrase “40 acres and a mule” represents the broken promises the U.S. government has made to Black American farmers, contributing to a vast racial wealth gap. CBS Reports explores the ways in which Black Americans are trying to reclaim their land, connect to their ancestry, and generate wealth that can be passed on for generations to come.

Our family friends refused to sell a 20 Acre section of their land in SC to a local paper mill. They went to do the annual land check to find that the timber was illegally stolen off that same 20 acres they refused to sell! Local police did nothing. They've since started moving onto the land and securing the property.

@ian_ford Год назад

It was so prevalent it was a way of life. When Blacks owned too much you didn't pay them for it...just steal it. When they grew too fast, destroy their towns and bury the evidence under highways. When 1.2M Black soldiers returned from WW2, nearly all were denied access to wealth generating mechanisms such as G.I.Bills to purchase land, homes, a car, education, property, start a business. So the great "Golden Era" of American middle class prosperity commenced with Blacks being left in the rearview mirror under a shoud of legal discrimination. And further cementing Blacks as the permanent underclass of America.

All black people should be buying some land even if it's only 5 to 10 acres of FARMLAND! Even if you never live on it or use it yourself. Get it in your families, teach your children to value owning land because the prices will only keep going up. The man in this story can thank his grandparents for buying the land that he now lives on and farms. Even if you only use it to grow food for your own family. You are making your children independent of those who wish to keep them dependent on them for food. Grow your own food! Learn how to build your own houses! Stop spending your money on things like automobiles just cause you want to look like you got something and you aint got nothing.

My family had about 400 acres in East Texas, at one point. My great grandfather or his dad, had the idea to purchase a bunch of and in a rural area that nobody really visits to this day! Over time parts of the land was sold, and we currently have about 150-175 acres still. People have tried, for decades left and right to get that land from us, not to mention its sitting on oil and a small lake. The last offer I can remember a random businessman offering was what basically broke down to less than $100/acre. Mind you this was in 2021..he tried to throw a large number out like we wouldn't do the math lol. At this point, we honestly just want to hold on to it for the family sake, but the older generation who actually grew up there are tired of taking care of it. We currently are planning on ways to take over control, but it's just a tough situation for everyone.

My great grandparents were farmers in NC. It’s kind of cool that their occupation was listed on my grandmother’s original birth certificate. When my great grandfather died, my great grandmother passed away not long after, leaving my grandmother and her siblings alone. The county made up a bogus story that my great grandmother died of some kind of “fever” and that they needed to burn down the farm. This was their way of stealing our family’s land from children, literally. My grandmother packed up her siblings and what they could fit in suitcases and headed north to NJ. It is my goal to track down that land and buy it back. So much has been taken from us. Our history, language, family, culture, lives, and land… it’s gross how white Americans have convinced themselves that all is well and equal. They are, by and large, completely delusional.

@tombowen7631 Год назад

Keep in mind that your land seizure was executed by men belonging to the Democratic Party.

@cmapit3220 Год назад

Sue for it back. If the county took it without proper cause and chain of title, you can sue for that land. Because even IF they truly needed to burn the land, the heirs were owed compensation and I doubt they received that. Consult a civil rights attorney who specializes in land rights and real estate. God bless you in your endeavors 🙏🏽.

For example, you have a doctor, contractor, dentist, in your family and you all benefit! Share property and cars and other stuff, soon those folks are all millionaires! Pakistanis and Asian family's do it, also through Family and the church Nigerians Christian's especially are prosperous.

My black American brothers and sisters, please continue to fight for what belongs to you and don't give up. That was what your strong and very intelliget ancestors did to be able to keep their farms, lands, and able to pass them on to you. White supremacists do not give in from stealing and taking your farms, lands, and many of your properties so, please do not stop fighting for what belong to you. Descendants of slaves no matter where they may be, they will always be my brothers and sisters.

Unrealized or unacknowledged, really. 60 years of affirmative action and receiving welfare checks, free housing, tax credits, scholarships, grants, loans and preferential treatment wasn't a bonus. It also amounts to a lot more than 40 acres and a mule.

@@8646aaronDude stopping ignorantly speaking from a white + biases AF perspective. And simply realized how that wasn't Reparations. And how all this is connected to why unrepentant America is currently falling off + under the judgment of God. Which will only get worse due to folks such as yourself & others. Also note how it's God himself who is in disagreement with all the crap you have said. Also note how you most likely don't even care to understand things. Such as reparations is simply a part of the proper biblical atonement making process. As well as you really do actually Reap what you Sow. It's not just a catchy sounding bible verse. Also note how America (The foundational root core itself rooted in systematic racism + more.). Has not Reaped what it has Sow. Hence why it's currently falling off & under the judgment of God now. You can still play dumb or act brand new yet now you cannot say you didn't unsugar coatedly know or that no one told you the unsugar coated truth concerning this matter

Congratulations to the members of the 19 families. That beautiful. I wish you the best. I will say that letting the oppressor know that you are aware that you're being mistreated is a necessary step for several reasons. Legally, "silence is acquiescence." They'll say that it must not have been THAT bad. The word 'begging' is a dog whistle and is used to shut down the demands of the injured party aka the plaintiff who is seeking redress in the form of monetary payment from a defendant.

Getting a loan was an extremely difficult decision for black people. They were denied and if given the loan interest rate was extremely high.

@truthiscensored Год назад

True. I'm not a farmer, but last year I applied for 2 small personal loans with almost Excellent credit scores (770, 767, 745) and got denied both times AND they dropped my credit scores by almost 100 points! They don't give loans the black folks

I agree, everyone should know the history of the Democratic party regarding their slaves and the Civil War that ensued because Democrats wouldn't give up their slaves. Don't forget either how Republicans pushed Democrats out of the way to pass the Civil Rights Act of 1967. Damn Democrats.

You need money to make money also money is resource because if you have land who is going to have tools to pay for the equipments, who is going to have to pay the workers, and other things. It just land who are you going to do with that. Money alone will help you get far in life.

Thing is unrepentant America is literally currently falling off + under the judgment of God. Which will only sadly get worse and not better. Long story short give me the $$$/resources or reparations. Which is actually simply a part of the proper biblical atonement making process. So I can exit out of under the judgment of God America. And simply build elsewhere such as Africa for example
