Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller has sued the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), claiming it discriminates against white farmers.

The USDA sends certain aid money to “socially disadvantaged” farmers and ranchers, defining the term “socially disadvantaged” to include African-Americans, American Indians, Alaskan Natives, Asians, Hispanics, and Pacific Islanders. In his eleven-page lawsuit, Miller argues that this interpretation leaves out white farmers.

“Equal rights under law is the cornerstone of American constitutional jurisprudence: the principle that all citizens, regardless of status, wealth, race, color, religion, or creed, have the same rights and are entitled to the same standard of justice,” the lawsuit reads.

“Yet, today, the Department of Agriculture lurches America dangerously backward, reversing the clock on American progress, and violating our most sacred and revered principles by actively and invidiously discriminating against American citizens solely based upon their race. This is illegal, it is unconstitutional, it is wrong, and it must stop.”-- excerpt, rest at link above --
