He tried race based aid and got sued into shutting it down by white farmers. Blame them, not Biden. https://www.reuters.com/world/us/biden-debt-relief-plan-disappoints-black-farmers-avoiding-race-2022-08-17/

However even the less likely to be sued by racist farmers program still helps black farmers

"Farmers of color potentially stand the most to gain from the IRA program since they represent nearly a third of those behind on payments for FSA loans, according to a review of agency data obtained by Reuters through the Freedom of Information Act.

More than 11,100 farmers were 90 or more days behind on payments to FSA as of May 31, the data shows.

Farmers of color are overrepresented in that group. More than 31% of those behind on payments are racial minorities or multi-racial, though they make up about 16% of USDA loans distributed in 2020, 2021, and 2022, according to the data.

A Biden administration effort to provide debt relief to farmers of color as part of the American Rescue Plan Act, framed as repair for past USDA discrimination, is currently stalled in court after white farmers argued it was discriminatory. "

And if reporting what he's doing to help Americans is patting himself on the back then should he just not say anything about what he's doing? When you tell your friends you've accomplished something is that you overdoing it patting yourself on the back? He's trying to fix problems, it's actually good thing he's telling people what he's doing so we can actually have some transparency as to what the hell our taxpayer dollars are going for. If that's too much for you I'm sorry.

Jesus Christ we have assholes like DeSantis crowing about how he kidnapped people and you want to bitch about an announcement from the White House about a program to help farmers and rural Americans? Really? Come on!
