This is a shame. Can we please echo this. These Black farmers have been under attack.

Get out. Black Colorado ranchers face domestic terrorism by local whites who they say are trying to steal their land - Ark Republic
A Black couple rebuilt their lives after losing everything in a hurricane. They never thought they’d be thrown into a fight for their ranch and possibly their lives in a predominantly white and hostile Colorado county.

Colorado has a long history of the KKK and anti-black activity in the state. SMH.

This is reprehensible. Where’s the ACLU & the NAACP? It’s 2023! These people shouldn’t have to worry about this nonsense. Sometimes it’s embarrassing to be an American. ☮️😔

The Colorado NAACP is involved. Many of us out here have been pressuring the Governor and local FBI to investigate. If others can keep up the pressure and get the media to take it national, that would be good. Local media JUST picked it up when we started tagging them. 🙄

The governor of Colorado does not have an account on Spoutible, but you can tweet to him on Twitter.

This is terrible. The hate and cruelty is awful.

El Paso County, CO is home to Colorado Springs. Home to many white, fascist, fake Christian groups.

Is there any tangible assistance we can offer these farmers at this time? Echoes are nice but action is always better, I say.

There was a go fund me set up to improve security and cover legal fees. It may be linked in the article above.

I've made the comparison between this and what extremist settlers in Israel are doing to Palestinian farmers and bedouins - employing these same kind of tactics to drive them from their land, and establish illegal outposts to take over them. This is disgraceful.

Thanks for sharing that. I didn’t know the same thing was happening to Palestinians.

I've made that comparison too, it does not make you a popular person when you voice that. However, it is true, Whether people like hearing it or not. People don't fight for 60 years because they like it, They fight for 60 years because they've been wronged.

There are so many places in this country that are just hopeless, filled with racists. Disgusting, but it's rural Colorado, places like this elect people like lil' Bobo.

In response to George Carlin Was Right.
While this area is NOT Bobo country, it is still far right extremist. I had to drive through there several times last fall and it was pretty gross to see what billboards and signs they proudly displayed.

This story deserves so much more attention and public support, this should not be happening in the 21st century in America. The legacy of racism is alive and well and eating us alive

"Denver7 requested records, reports, and interviews from the El Paso County Sheriff's Office on Thursday, Feb. 9. They did not immediately respond to the interview request but sent a quote for thousands of dollars to gain access to the records."
Another segment is on Denver7 now as we speak...
