![]() ![]() So, yippity-yi-yo, off to another right-wing rodeo we go! You’d think this ridiculous racial bigotry would be laughed out of court, but the case has gone to a hyperpartisan, right-wing judge who has backed such Republican legal ploys in the past. Indeed, Stephen wrote Sid’s plaintive legal plea to provide “racial justice” for rich and powerful White ranchers like him, and just days before filing the suit, Stephen set up a political front group called America First Legal to push the case. He’s a former Donald Trump political operative, an anti-immigrant extremist and a fanatical promoter of White nationalism - one who specializes in frivolous lawsuits. That distinction goes to another Miller, one named Stephen. However, he’s not the actual “thinker” behind this screwball legal claim. But, as a real cowboy once told me, “It ain’t the hat it’s the head.” And right there is Miller’s problem - he’s got a thousand-dollar hat on a 10-cent head. ![]() That’s what passes for logic when you’re wearing a $1,000 hat like the one Sid struts around in. ![]() So, Sid, a former rodeo performer who owns a Texas ranch, is braying and snorting through his big white cowboy hat that the way to stop racial discrimination is to let White discriminator bigots also get anti-discrimination money from the feds. Yes, Sid asserts that the program - which directs some long-overdue loan relief to Black, Latino, Native American and other food producers who’ve been routinely and grossly discriminated against for generations by agricultural lenders - now demands that privileged Whites like him get an equal piece of the money. ![]() Sid Miller is his name, and he proudly went to federal court in April in an effort to stop a new government aid program that he considered discriminatory against a particular disadvantaged group of agriculture producers - namely, his group: White farmers and ranchers! You’d think this claim brought by bigots would be laughed out of court, but the case has gone to a hyperpartisan, right-wing judge.Īmazingly, the agricultural commissioner of Texas is the one top official in my state willing to take a bold stand against racial discrimination. ![]()
