This Evenings Lesson:
The Handouts From The Government Whites Have Recieved In The 20th Century That these Idiots Didn't See Because They Were Playing With Toys.
These policiees impact us today. Blacks were pretty much excluded from these programs because of compromises made between northern republicans and dixiecrats.
America has a history of providing whites with the necessary assistance programs in order to help them prosper. This nation was built by such programs. Whites gladly talk about how they made it and it is based on those programs. The so called MAGA was an appeal for a return to the time where America funded white progress only. The whining began when other races were allowed to get the same assistance. Once that happened suddenly government was too big, too intrusive and that our tax money should not go to such programs because they foster dependency.
Whites in America have benefitted from a series of consistent affirmative action programs starting on July 4th, 1776. Yet many whites have not seen it that way. It is difficult to review the history of this country and not come to that conclusion, but that is all part of the madness. When all the laws provide for your advancement based on race from the beginning of this country, there is no sane argument to be made by whites about the unfairness of considering race as a qualification for anything. It is just that simple.
The National Housing Act was a law passed by Congress and signed by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1934. This law created the Federal Housing Administration or the FHA. The National Housing Act is the probably the policy that has provided the greatest impact on individual wealth accumulation in modern America. Unfortunately, the formation of the FHA and its guaranteed loan program only worked to increase white advantage. This law expanded the power of the federal government which helped it monitor the American economy. Many of today’s republicans complaining about how government expansion is wrong, benefitted by this government expansion. I say this because the FHA able to create a guaranteed home loan program whereby potential home buyers could get bank loans guaranteed against default by the government. But the government had standards and most of those standards were based on racist beliefs.
Between 1934 and 1968, the FHA implemented and put into practice a policy thiat still negatively impacts communities today. It began by publishing The Underwriting Manual setting the guidelines real estate agents used to assess the value and creditworthiness of different homes and neighborhoods. This manual promoted racist real estate practices by defending racially restrictive covenants and segregated communities. Due to this manual, the FHA was able to establish a neighborhood grading system based purely on false racist perceptions.
Redlining was the name of that grading system. Redlining has been well documented so there is no need for me to go into a long analysis of the policy. What I will say is that redlining was based on a premise of neighborhood decline caused by blacks that has never been proven. To this day blacks are accused of depreciating neighborhood values still without proof. Growing up in a small town, the black neighborhood I grew up in was considered a ghetto when it wasn’t even close. Furthermore, the biggest eyesore in our community was a house owned by whites. If there had been COVID19 masks in the 70’s we would have been required to wear them if we were going to pass by that house. My point here is the FHA was a government agency whose policies specifically provided whites with increased opportunities to increase wealth through home ownership.
The Social Security Act of 1935 created the Social Security program, unemployment insurance administered by the states and assistance to single mothers with children. Today most Americans love the program. However, when the act was signed, the law was structured to exclude occupations that were mainly occupied by blacks. When President Roosevelt signed the law, 65 percent of blacks in America were ineligible. So for years a majority of blacks were excluded from social security savings and could not get unemployment.
The Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 created the minimum wage and time and a half overtime pay for working over forty hours a week. Child labor was eliminated by this act. All these were good things but… This is the trouble with so many things in the history of America. There is always a but. Being imperfect, we all have buts and not just the ones we sit on. Yet in some cases the word but comes before critical facts that change how we see things. In every law that was passed as part of The New Deal, Roosevelt had to make a compromise with southern representatives in order to get the votes he needed. In the case of the FLSA, he decided that industries where the majority of workers were black would be excluded from the regulations. Because of this, blacks were paid less than the minimum wage.
Earlier I mentioned that our society has allowed low lifes into our national discourse on race. These liars and disingenuous opinion makers have sold many in modern white America a race baited tale of opportunity lost and failure of black Americans that when examined against the facts, fails every fact check known to humanity. In the history of this country, I as a layman ordinary average joe can point to 3 specific instances where whatever government was in power, whether colonial or constitutional republic, provided direct economic stimulus or assistance primarily to whites. Headrights, The Homestead Acts, and the Servicemen’s Readjustment Act.
On June 22, 1944 President Roosevelt signed the Servicemen’s Readjustment Act, better known as the G.I. Bill. This law provided benefits for veterans returning from the second World War. Funds were paid for college tuition, low-cost home loans, and unemployment insurance. As in every other program during this time southern congressmen fought passage of these laws unless there were provisions that limited access to blacks. The G.I Bill was no different.
Democratic congressmen in the south fought against provisions of the GI Bill out of fear that returning black veterans might be able to use public support for their war effort to eradicate the southern “social order.” Southern Democrats using the same tactics they used to make certain other policies in the New Deal helped as few black people as possible, wanted benefits to be administered by the states. Mississippi Congressman John Rankin was the ringleader in that regard. He and other Southern Democrats knew doing that would allow southern states to do what each state had been doing since the Civil Rights Cases. That would be states implementing policies full of loopholes and restrictions that would be enforced on blacks but not whites thereby ensuring the GI Bill would primarily benefit whites. Congress gave southern Democrats what they wanted.
The reality of the G.I. Bill is that black veterans were sabotaged at nearly every opportunity. Due to the racism in society that overflowed into the military, blacks were disproportionately dishonorably discharged. Dishonorable discharge disqualified veterans from benefits, so that stopped some black veterans. Acts by white terrorists were committed against black veterans. There were black veterans who survived war, came home, tried to use the benefits they so rightfully earned and ended up getting lynched. Due to segregation black veterans could often not access the same classes or training as their white counterparts. When the VA wasn’t trying to send black veterans to vocational schools, it was sending the large majority of them to black colleges that had been underfunded since the 1890 Morrill Act and the Plessy decision.
Northern universities were slow to admit blacks. “In 1947, some 70,000 African American veterans were unable to obtain admission to crowded, under-resourced black colleges. The University of Pennsylvania—one of the least-discriminatory schools at the time—enrolled only 40 African American students in its 1946 student body of 9,000.” Southern universities? Forget about it. “After World War II, blacks wanting to attend college in the South were restricted to about 100 public and private schools, few of which offered education beyond the baccalaureate and more than a quarter of which were junior colleges, with the highest degree below the B.A.”
De Jure is a latin term that basically means, “according to the law.” This is an important definition to understand because during the 20th century numerous programs and policies were designed that provided race-based advantages for whites by the every level of government in the United States. The policies excluded all who were not white, most excluded all who were not white and male. These were programs that provided benefits to a specific group and that group was whites. No one complained about how government became too large and intrusive during these years. When we talk about government dependency the argument by whites in this regard is based upon a dependence lasting almost two- and one-half centuries.
Americans of all races far greater than I have made mention of the programs this government provided for whites that excluded all others from the same benefits specifically during the 20th century. They have detailed how public policy created the negative situations in many non white communities and have adversely affected blacks and other people of color over the course of the past century.
So the one liners you white idiots repeat all the time is a sign of your retardation. Get rid of your delusion.

"I’m careful not to attribute any particular resistance or slight or opposition to race. But what I do believe is that if somebody didn’t have a problem with their daddy being employed by the federal government, and didn’t have a problem with the Tennessee Valley Authority electrifying certain communities, and didn’t have a problem with the interstate highway system being built, and didn’t have a problem with the GI Bill, and didn’t have a problem with the [Federal Housing Administration] subsidizing the suburbanization of America, and that all helped you build wealth and create a middle class — and then suddenly as soon as African Americans or Latinos are interested in availing themselves of those same mechanisms as ladders into the middle class, you now have a violent opposition to them — then I think you at least have to ask yourself the question of how consistent you are, and what’s different, and what’s changed."

“I'm the beneficiary of the biggest affirmative action program in American history: A free education, a loan for a house. But black veterans didn't get it. We got made middle class by our government program.”
