In this eye-opening video, Attorney Augustus Corbett of the Defiant Lawyers unpacks the controversial comments by JD Vance, Donald Trump’s vice presidential pick. Corbett argues that Vance’s remarks echo white supremacist views and distort the purpose of a $2 billion settlement for Black farmers. This settlement addresses decades of discrimination by the USDA, which led to a staggering decline in Black-owned farms.
Corbett clarifies that the settlement is a necessary step toward justice, not reverse discrimination. He delves into how the 14th Amendment aims to protect marginalized groups, yet its intent is being twisted to claim discrimination against whites. Highlighting the USDA’s history of bias, Corbett stresses that this payout is just a fraction of the damages suffered.
Corbett challenges the rationale behind Black support for a political ticket seen as upholding white supremacy and hindering reparative justice. He highlights the danger in misusing legal protections against those they were meant to assist. Join us for a compelling discussion on the intersection of law, history, and social justice.
