Holy fk. Prove my point. They didn’t apply because of mean ole guberment. What an excuse. And excuse is all you gotI just gave you an example.Who put them on that island? You ain’t man enough to answerystemic racism has led to a class of folks marooned on an island of poverty and isolation
“For example, many African American World War II veterans did not apply for government-guaranteed mortgages for suburban purchases because they knew that the Veterans Administration would reject them on account of their race, so applications were pointless. Those veterans then did not gain wealth from home equity appreciation as did white veterans, and their descendants could then not inherit that wealth as did white veterans’ descendants. With less inherited wealth, African Americans today are generally less able than their white peers to afford to attend good colleges.”
