DALLAS—More than 400 small farmers attended a February 8-10 conference here to discuss their fight for land and against racist discrimination by the U.S. government, banks, and big business. Most of the participants came from Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, Oklahoma, and Texas. The event was organized by the National Black Farmers Association (NBFA), and attracted some other farmers and supporters from Florida, Iowa, Kansas, and Virginia.
Several guests from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) addressed the conference. Dennis Pittman, representing Smithfield Foods, which operates the world's largest hog slaughterhouse in Tar Heel, North Carolina, also spoke. These individuals received a cool response from farmers subjected to years of abuse—from denied loan requests to stolen land.

Based on this article this is why we have so much discrimination on each other by stealing land and not help each other. A lot of country discriminate the U.S. for taking property. Its a very disrespectful thing to do to some one that has been doing all they can to keep there land and farms. These black farmers association is about fighting for there right by keeping there lands and not be taken by some one else. Everybody has there rights and support by others. Everybody should support each other but not discriminate each other.
