Dear Senate, Please Fix This Hot Mess

Here we go again with this same stupid, dumb, low-level, crazy, twisted, racist hot mess. This is one of those games by our U.S. government that seems to me like a form of discrimination on case that is supposed to RESOLVE a past discriminatory measure.

In short, over a decade ago, a case was settled out of court for minority farmers (mostly black) who have been denied farm loans based on their skin color. Each of the farmers who filed claims were supposed to have received their monies based on the settlement back in 1999. However, as CNN.com reports, many of them filed their claims too late and did not receive their piece of the settlement. Too bad, right?

Well, folks, this is where it gets interesting and where I got mad. This video and corresponding article has more details.
