My recent piece highlighting just a few of the oddities among Pigford 2 claims seems to have immediately struck a nerve with some people. Both the article and I are being discussed on a forum called My Settlement Claims. Here’s one comment:
My opinion only: From what I have read and researched; Lee Stranahan is a freelance writer, A NOBODY who wants recognition or attention. I noticed this is not his first nor last story he plans to bash. He needs to kick up some dust and continue to keep his name circulating in the media….that is how he makes his living. He is man version of “Wendy Williams” although I like Wendy; however; she talked her way to a talk show. Anywhoo, this case is closing and the fat lady is about to sing. Thanks Paula for the info…#waitingpatiently
I’m always a nobody when they can’t refute the facts.
And the settlement may be closed, but the story is far from over. If anyone who committed fraud in Pigford thinks cashing those checks will never come to back to them, good luck with that. The lawyers and the politicians who set this up are the people I think need to be brought to justice but it’s a safe bet they are going to throw the people who lied to get a $50,000 check under the bus faster than you can say Monica.
Once participant doesn’t understand the word ‘tease’ has more than one meaning. And he’s a racist.
Hello everyone, allow me 2 introduce the word (teased) to you. The definition of teased-To make fun of; mock playfully. Pigford 2 article is nothing more, than a white right wing nut, making fun of the pigford settlement. He clearly stated that it’s a teased article.Quote…..I teased a number of things last night on Twitter, so I decided to put all the teases here in one place for reference. unquote.So, the article is not true, it’s only a teased article. It never seem to amaze me, how low the white man will go, to keep the black man down. Who would be stupid enough to file 22 claims with the same address? Dam, I think I’ll go over on this white boy Twitter page & give him a piece of my mind.
I was using the word ‘tease’ in the sense of a movie teaser; the definition of “a short introductory advertisement for a product, esp. one that does not mention thename of the thing being advertised.”
In other words, I obviously have names to go with all these addresses and other information. I just haven’t mentioned them. Yet.
And of COURSE this bozo didn’t say anything in my Twitter timeline. I’ll debate anybody. They never want to talk about it.
This forum writer gets it, however:
That’s nothing more than reverse racism! White right wing nut?!!! He is not trying to hold the black man down! Meanwhile while you attack him saying he is a racist, you fail to see the forest beyond a few trees! These multiple claims at one location and others at addresses that don’t exist, he never said it was just black people trying to get an easy paycheck, he is exposing a corruption here! The very corruption that every discriminated black farmer who is a claimant as well as those in the first Pigford are having you just settlement money stolen, siphoned right under your noses by the people who are supposed to be your advocates! I hate seeing that some old timer who has lost everything he toiled over to obtain in his life only get a mere $50k check while his lawyers who did nothing more than push pencils making sure their ends got covered first rake in hundreds of millions! That’s the fraud!
Here’s a few more examples, in case you missed them on Twitter today.

The truly awful scandal in this is the farmers, black farmers who had a right to this money for justifiable claims are still fighting for a fair settlement while the money that was supposed to go to them is instead being siphoned off by massive fraud and government waste. The scammers are out in force while the black Farmers who should have that money do without. Yes, lee, I believe to when this breaks that the Obama Administration will do what it always does, make someone else a scapegoat and toss them under the bus!
