Many years ago my grandfather lost his farm to taxes his son went to the bank and paid the taxes and they gave it right back to him but of course this was just a place in West Virginia nothing some big chicken company would want but they gave it back to him which was nice
They were supposed to give all black people after slavery 40 acres and mule. Many to this day still wondering when the people will get that. Clearly they never wanted black peoples to own land much less any live stock . It’s ok if we are toiling their land, but never own it... no, no. That just won’t do. No land, no reparations...

My father had a chicken house built on the farm 43,000 capacity supposed I've been paid off in 10 years if they wanted your farm they cut back on your chickens everybody in my family had to have a job go to school and work the farm and work the chicken house to keep our farm that was 6 years we never made money off the chicken house but since we all work we were able to pay it to keep possession of it it took 23 years to pay this chicken house off and they talked to send them mortgage and everything we own the whole farm all the houses everything so if we lost we lost it all but we made it barely I just thank God.
No thank yourself in your family god put you there to protect and care for his garden thanks is not needed but to live a life without sin which you would not have
Boycott their products- don’t eat chicken if you don’t know for sure it’s not from them. Then send a letter to Tyson and Koch (preferably with signatures from other ppl u know who are willing to be part of the boycott) explaining why you won’t eat their products. Make it clear that you won’t buy from them until they solve these problems.
@@candicefrost4561 The problem is unless you have enough people commit and actually stop eating their products and that would have to amount to a sizable percentage of their quarterly earnings like over 10% to 25% and not only for 1 quarter but for 2 or 3 quarters ( 1 quarter is 3 months) so they would have to see sales have gone down by 10% or greater and continue to stay or have higher percent of sales being lost after 2nd and 3rd quarter before massive companies will do anything about it of course after first quarter the cost of chicken will then jump up by 10% to 25% the price it was because they have to make their share holders money or risk the shareholders pulling out which will be even worse when the business is being boycotted so the end result will be larger profit margins for these companies as when they raise the price after first quarter it will never go back down and after 1st if not the 2nd quarter anyone boycotting will have forgotten why they stopped buying that company's product because most people nowadays have memories like gold fish and if they cant get chicken from another supplier in the same store they do their shopping they wont go elsewhere to buy it and they will still buy that companies chicken even thou on the internet they scream and shout how they will never buy this companies products again

VICE did a good story a couple months back on black farmers and their lack of subsidies as well, its worth a watch.

Although racism is clearly to blame for his particular problems, the real issue is the fact that the US is dominated by monopolies which is what allows corporations to have power over smaller businesses. The evils of racism is primarily about exerting power over others. If you can't exert power over others nobody cares if you are racist. The US loves capitalism but has failed to solve capitalisms greatest failing which is monopolies (which eventually leads to fascism).
it's not an either or situation. That's like saying it's not racism it's sexism. No both can be true. These monopolies that you speak of aren't black owned and probably existed within or benefited from slavery and the genocide and treatment of black and indigenous people. 🤷🏾♀️ The real issue is racism and discrimination will never be addressed until power shifts to support and protect the oppressed
@@morethanyourbasics That is exactly what I said. It IS racism and it cannot be fixed without changing the power structure starting with breaking up monopolies which are a form of concentrated power structure.
In solid color states (red/blue) there is often a lack of oversight when it comes to relinquishing tax burdens on corporations... and regulatory capture takes hold
This is truly heartbreaking. I'm a 50 year old white man and it honestly embarrasses me when I hear stories like this. Its just a dam shame its allowed to even happen.

Wow! That's so sad. You can hear the pain in his voice. You can tell he's literally sacrificed a lot within his 20+ years as a farmer. But it comes to show you that no matter how hard you work, an employer will figure out a way to get rid of you and ruined your life.
I hope this farmer gets everything that he is owed and truly deserves! I also hope that this farmer has his day in court with Koch Foods over this, that’s the only way they listen!
Sadly he will not like many MANY other black farmers since 1910. And the man who assisted in this harsh take over and racial discrimination has been hired by Biden to continue these practices he carried out in Bush and Obama administration
i don't know about if there is any discrimination. However, i notice that many farmers had complain about these corporation cheat and taking advantage over them all both white and black farmers.
I hope that they are not owned by the infamous Koch brothers who spend billions buying politicians so they can run the country. Those guys literally are kochroaches and parasites

I worked n that industry, pig farms, chicken, cows, etc... one of the lowest and most degrading systems in US. 100% profit over people business. I hope he gets a Billion dollars!! The American food system and it's predatory companies stripped black land owners of farms, veggie and fruit crops. The govt, states, and counties were all in on the plan to strip wealth from black food growers, started first stripping private homes all over the South of fruit trees, and it went on and on from there with everything on your plate. I constantly felt guilty everytime I was selling products at those plants. Environmental abuse, employee abuse, growers abuse, and loose standards poisoning this country. God bless any black farmers that still exist!
He was all by himself… he didn’t have any other black farmers to help him which made him an even more of an easy target. This is sad. He’s lucky to be alive and not killed.
I'm sure they supply most supermarkets KFC and other fast food places. Worth asking or finding out, then can put pressure by social media and boycotts.
@@quantumsneak1773 I don't eat fast food & I frequent local butchers to avoid this exact problem. I haven't bought Tyson chicken in years but now I'm deliberately gonna avoid them.
I only get meat from a local meat delivery service. It costs more (which is fine because it encourages me to eat less meat anyway) but at least I can have some confidence that the workers and the animals and environment were at least treated humanely, and my money is going to people in my area.
They do it everyday everywhere then say we're lazy.. It's their way of trying to keep us down, I face this in wolverhampton England racists always try to find a way to keep us down backward people.
If he's cutting into profits then yes other will find a way to get him out. It's no different than a drug dealer wanting a different corner to make more money.
I feel for this guy, based on the story presented. However, I would appreciate a lawyer's perspective on the claim that he was required to perform upgrades that no one else was required to do. If it is true, then I eagerly await the court proceedings. However, I will withhold my alliance until I understand the overall context. Sometimes, this channel puts out stories in a very skewed way to support their narrative. IMO, this harms the overall cause because we all are affected when we pour our emotion and effort into examples where overall facts tell a different story. I stand against any and all types of discriminations. In particular, I believe that marginalized groups deserve special protections because of the residual impacts of systemic oppression. I just want my alliance to be spent on causes that are true. The fact that this story only presents this persons side implies that there may be a lack of corroboration.

FACTS bro, that's exactly where I heard about the plight of the black farmer. . . afterwords I researched this, it can be found on the internet and in countless TH-cam videos, this has been happening since the 1800's, RACIST are the only people in DENIAL, that's because they cannot silence the truth anymore 🤔
This is awful. I knew this was a serious issue, but it's so heartwrenching to see 1st hand accounts of this disgusting racism/racial disparity. I don't support Tyson, & will continue to boycott any corporations who act like this.
Thank you for all you have done sir. I hope this doesn't discourage you from pursuing anything. This isn't the end of your story, it's a seaqual. God is with thoes that are loyal so do your best.

If you want to make it in this country, do *NOT* follow the rules. Plain and simple. It’s actually embedded in the history books but people don’t read or comprehend well.
I'm not crazy? I feel bad for him but on the other hand I feel like I shouldn't expect anything else. Why couldnt he be his own brand? His own Tyson, Koch, and Butterball? Why sell out like that? Why not sell your meat in units juxtaposed to getting a long-term contract with them? Is it to be in proximity to them? Because they will not allow you to use their backs to surpass them. It is in history so it was inevitable. When will we learn? I feel bad for him but then again I dont. 400 years and no wisdom. Learn the pathology.
@@Christin-n2p Hey sista I feel you completely but also let’s not dog the man. It requires a lot of work but if I’m comprehending you right, he would need to go to his customer’s customers and sell directly to them. Better yet, and I think you’re saying this too, he would need to create his own path; realize that he has a product and figure out a way to sell it to customer’s at a better rate than the kochs and whichever family owns Tyson (I need to look that up btw). I think the problem is the competition has so much power through legislation and greasing the right people that it’s hard to go against them, however, it isn’t impossible. People move over here from the Middle East and set up halal stores and other people who want halal meat buy directly from them. They never even buy into the American poultry system. We should do the same. This brother here should be supplying all the locally black owned restaurants and food suppliers. Then spread out from there. Easier said than done of course and he’s already discouraged by what he’s been through.
Sister @@JudgeDredd_ that is exactly what I'm saying. Sure it wouldn’t be as easy as a long term contract with the big companies but look where that big company led him. He most likely would still have his farm though. Its easier said than done but not impossible.

So sad a friend of mine his dad put in 2 chicken houses. They tried to pull the upgrade thing on him. He wasn't under any contact and they kept saying that he wasn't going to get another flock if he didn't do the upgrades. He had a very good record for eggs produced and chicken survival. So he went to some different companies in the area. Then his old company came by 1 day telling him that his new flock was going to be a little later than usual because they wanted to give him time for the updates. He showed them the other companies time schedule for the cleanup and new flock with no updates

Same thing happens with white chicken growers . Perdue Farms is constantly making them do updates or no chicken deliveries .

It's not just chicken farms,all farms with contracts with big companies struggle or just lose their farms. Big companies should be running and investing in there own farms. Stop the big banks and big companies working together for their own bottom line. Federal regulators need to take note and make changes for farmers rights.
A Black farmer; I didn't know that they still existed as such. Not that Blacks would want to be farmers, but in this day of big business and control, they won't be ALLOWED.

Freaken bullshiat how the black guy got railroaded. Lots of Californian food chain stores and distribution companies would had loved to buy some of this black guy's chicken. In California; Foster Farm and Tyson chicken are the two biggest largest companies that many stores uses to buy fresh chicken. Sometimes they have a monopoly and up charge the price more than retail prices.
I know this guy personally but I delivered children feed to his farm myself and he was one of the few black farmer I met in the poultry industry..😢 I know he is telling the truth about being discriminated against. He inspired me to look into being a first time black business owner.
Very heartbreaking 💔wish he can be able to start his chicken farm again. He really did put his 100% dedication into it. We need more farmers that really care like him.
Tyson has so many farms its not even funny and they make millions but the people who raise them have to invest their whole lives just to have it tossed away because some guy decides to make a change
They say doing the same thing over and over while expecting a different result is a definition of insanity. Voting for the same self serving parasites every time is crazy. Get off your butts and run for office on a platform of scrapping party politics and replacing it with a viable form of government.
Building a business supplying firms think lowly of Black people is not recommended. I would suggest that the brother tries to slowly resuscitate his business but focus on supplying minority condumer groups. If you came to South Africa, or any other African country for that matter, you would do very well due to the strength of your country's currency.
The fact that the son had the money to buy the farm and they woukd not give it to him means someone targeted him to get possession of the farm.
Yep, they wanted his land.
Maybe Bill Gates bought that property, he is buying up all the farm land.
Many years ago my grandfather lost his farm to taxes his son went to the bank and paid the taxes and they gave it right back to him but of course this was just a place in West Virginia nothing some big chicken company would want but they gave it back to him which was nice

VICE did a good story a couple months back on black farmers and their lack of subsidies as well, its worth a watch. One of the worst parts of that piece was a black farmer calling up his local rep to get information on loan programs he could apply for and the rep straight up lying and telling him there was none available.

Although racism is clearly to blame for his particular problems, the real issue is the fact that the US is dominated by monopolies which is what allows corporations to have power over smaller businesses. The evils of racism is primarily about exerting power over others. If you can't exert power over others nobody cares if you are racist. The US loves capitalism but has failed to solve capitalisms greatest failing which is monopolies (which eventually leads to fascism).
it's not an either or situation. That's like saying it's not racism it's sexism. No both can be true. These monopolies that you speak of aren't black owned and probably existed within or benefited from slavery and the genocide and treatment of black and indigenous people. 🤷🏾♀️
The real issue is racism and discrimination will never be addressed until power shifts to support and protect the oppressed
psssht, you dont wanna talk sense around here, might have some kool aid bois in their feels 😂
@@morethanyourbasics That is exactly what I said. It IS racism and it cannot be fixed without changing the power structure starting with breaking up monopolies which are a form of concentrated power structure.

I feel for this guy, based on the story presented. However, I would appreciate a lawyer's perspective on the claim that he was required to perform upgrades that no one else was required to do. If it is true, then I eagerly await the court proceedings. However, I will withhold my alliance until I understand the overall context. Sometimes, this channel puts out stories in a very skewed way to support their narrative. IMO, this harms the overall cause because we all are affected when we pour our emotion and effort into examples where overall facts tell a different story. I stand against any and all types of discriminations. In particular, I believe that marginalized groups deserve special protections because of the residual impacts of systemic oppression. I just want my alliance to be spent on causes that are true.

Why not sell your meat in units juxtaposed to getting a long-term contract with them? Is it to be in proximity to them? Because they will not allow you to use their backs to surpass them.

@@Christin-n2p Hey sista I feel you completely but also let’s not dog the man. It requires a lot of work but if I’m comprehending you right, he would need to go to his customer’s customers and sell directly to them. Better yet, and I think you’re saying this too, he would need to create his own path; realize that he has a product and figure out a way to sell it to customer’s at a better rate than the kochs and whichever family owns Tyson (I need to look that up btw). I think the problem is the competition has so much power through legislation and greasing the right people that it’s hard to go against them, however, it isn’t impossible. People move over here from the Middle East and set up halal stores and other people who want halal meat buy directly from them. They never even buy into the American poultry system. We should do the same. This brother here should be supplying all the locally black owned restaurants and food suppliers. Then spread out from there.

So sad a friend of mine his dad put in 2 chicken houses. They tried to pull the upgrade thing on him. He wasn't under any contact and they kept saying that he wasn't going to get another flock if he didn't do the upgrades. He had a very good record for eggs produced and chicken survival. So he went to some different companies in the area. Then his old company came by 1 day telling him that his new flock was going to be a little later than usual because they wanted to give him time for the updates. He showed them the other companies time schedule for the cleanup and new flock with no updates

Where is AL Sharpton and Ben Crump. We as a people need to wake up and change our mindset. This is happening all the time and what do we do about. We can't cry about. We need to love each other and pull together.
@@vjmonae4 you simply cannot. A certain race loves to play victim.
I believe this man. He has been through it, lived it, he knows.
Big Chicken took his life away and then some !
The country that proclaims equality, doesn't.
The blacks in America prove one thing, black people have pure hearts. Till this day look how they still trying hard working Blk farming smh. Imagine what others are facing in other sectors.
yeah, like in the nba or nfl, imagine what pro sports would look like if blacks weren't stopped every step of the way
Why are they going after people who work honest long hard hours every day but celebrate people who purposely don't work and sit back and receive benifits.
I question this all the time
Because the government wants to kill small private owned businesses! They want to end the populations independence! If they can force the body of people to be dependent then they have accomplished their totalitarian dreams.
He said it it's because he is Black unfortunately in alot of America this is true...
PRAY FOR THEM AND BLESS THEM. They will Reap what They Sow; it is Written.
Its unfortunate but its probably a blessing in disguise. When a door closes another one opens. Hope he finds something better. Good luck on your new adventure. Stay positive!
True
Keep your head up.
he highlighting cocasian nuclear toxicity . they would outspend, fine , harrass until you disappear.
Same thing happens with white chicken growers . Perdue Farms is constantly making them do updates or no chicken deliveries . Some houses are completely torn down and replaced with updated houses or no chicken delivery . Some can't get a loan to do updates and loose their land just like that fella . Not taking away from his situation but it happens to both races . 🇺🇸
may FATEHER GOD bless this man with a 1000 time more of what he lost and be blessed to go globally and help other farmers in the mighty name of YAHUSHA amun.
It's not just chicken farms,all farms with contracts with big companies struggle or just lose their farms.
Big companies should be running and investing in there own farms.
Stop the big banks and big companies working together for their own bottom line.
Federal regulators need to take note and make changes for farmers rights.
A Black farmer; I didn't know that they still existed as such. Not that Blacks would want to be farmers, but in this day of big business and control, they won't be ALLOWED.
I knew black farmers were having a tough time in America in general but this was tough to watch. I hope others see this report.
His pain is palpable. The physical shackles of slavery may be gone but it still exist literally coupled with Jim Crow rules. They decimated him.
@HunterBidensCrackPipe Go smoke your pipe.
@Reinhard Rockwell Your brain needs to run.
Jim crow laws? I'm pretty sure those are outlawed now but the south being the south you're bound to find hard racism there, and snowflakes think using the N word is racist.
Im sorry bro for all your losses. I hope things get 100 times better for you and your family. Much love from miami
"Donald Trump chickened out." I had to laugh on that one. 🤣
He knew. But didn't want to lose the south vote by helping. Well he lost reelection anyways. Might have as well helped him out.
Best line
Trump did more for black people in his four years than anyone else has. Tell me, how much did Obama help, how much did Clinton help, how much did George Bush help? None, nada. Maybe if you plead your case a little more a little sooner you would have gotten more help. Honestly after watching this I’m still unsure how you were put out of business . And now you bring in the lIke’s of Booker and the other stooges. I don’t know if your case is going to get any better.
He is so lovely and has patience I could only dream off.
Awww bless this man's heart. This hurts to listen to his story 💔 I hope he can find his confidence again and continue to prosper
These corporates should be held accountable. Maybe they should only have selected customers as well.
All family owned farms are being targeted. It's just a matter of time.
Yeah it has nothing to do with him being black. Elites are buying up all smal, farms as we speak as they play us with race BS
@@dustinheath4407 So him being the only one who had to upgrade and not the white people isn't a racial thing? You're one of those people who preach racism isn't real and nothing bad happens to black people.
@@NightmareRose86 I would have to see the list of upgrades then inspect the other farms. From the video it looks like his houses were falling down and with no proof I just hear someone crying racism.
@@HLTrizzay He isn't there anymore that's why it looks that way. Of course you need all this proof when it comes to a black person but if it were someone white their word would be gospel. Whenever it comes to racism yall always need all this extra evidence and still would deny it.
Freaken bullshiat how the black guy got railroaded. Lots of Californian food chain stores and distribution companies would had loved to buy some of this black guy's chicken. In California; Foster Farm and Tyson chicken are the two biggest largest companies that many stores uses to buy fresh chicken. Sometimes they have a monopoly and up charge the price more than retail prices.
I know this guy personally but I delivered children feed to his farm myself and he was one of the few black farmer I met in the poultry industry..😢 I know he is telling the truth about being discriminated against. He inspired me to look into being a first time black business owner.
Very heartbreaking 💔wish he can be able to start his chicken farm again. He really did put his 100% dedication into it. We need more farmers that really care like him.
Tyson has so many farms its not even funny and they make millions but the people who raise them have to invest their whole lives just to have it tossed away because some guy decides to make a change
This was much bigger than a Tyson change.
I worked for that company for 5 years...I just resigned on the 1st of October...yes...what he's saying is true...very true.
I can’t stand prejudiced corporations.
This also happen in other countries, unfortunately. Sad truth. Even vegetable farmers does not escape from this racial discrimination.
As A White Man...I Am Embarrassed And Ashamed Of Our Race When Hearing Stories Like These.
This so sad, make me sick how treat people in our country. This has to stop. VOTE PEOPLE!!!!
Vote for who? When there is NO viable person to Vote for 👀
@@chrissyg55 I was going to say the same thing, but you beat me to it. I hope someone is helping him , because he deserves some help
They say doing the same thing over and over while expecting a different result is a definition of insanity.
Voting for the same self serving parasites every time is crazy.
Get off your butts and run for office on a platform of scrapping party politics and replacing it with a viable form of government.
@@hunglikeahamster Do that and you get censored. Or worse. They don't want people to take their power away.
Stop buying from these big corrupt companies and support local business. That's how we can change things!!!! Be picky on who you give your money to!!
All of the people on the comments buy from these big corrupt companies
Building a business supplying firms think lowly of Black people is not recommended. I would suggest that the brother tries to slowly resuscitate his business but focus on supplying minority condumer groups. If you came to South Africa, or any other African country for that matter, you would do very well due to the strength of your country's currency.
My heart breaks for you. Prayers are all I have to give and my prayers are going up for you.
