@eumiexx: the american education system is so cooked

Killer_Orca :

Truman tried giving us universal healthcare back in the 50’s and you won’t guess who blocked him from doing it

treindfleisch :

Look at what neighborhoods the interstate system went thru.

HandsomeVille :

The Homestead Act was a 1862 law signed by President Abraham Lincoln that gave 160 acres of free public land to citizens who agreed to farm and live on it for five years

old gravy :

Everything American is built around racism.

HerXcuse :

Slave owns literally got reparations once slavery was abolished… they literally got paid for losing their free labor ☠️wtf

.. :

How about other races who also didn’t get handouts but still work hard

Miss Judy :

Also: Highways were built to keep the blacks separated as well. And blacks couldn’t buy on the white “side of the tracks”. It’s all connected.

AL_Brown :

Take it a step further. Those property taxes funnel money into the schools which turn out better performing students and then streamline them into better colleges and then boom legacy admissions

774obispo :

They still receive soooo much money from the government

Jovialtraveller🇨🇦🇵🇱 :

This is the American legacy, which is always racism

Frank C :

Black veterans did not receive the GI Bill benefits either. The more you know…

⚛️C.I.A⚛️ :

Darth Sceptre :

Theyre still the #1 recipients, you just have to own a business and donate to the right congressman.

Demistress :

“When Affirmative Action was White” is a great book on this phenomenon 😭 like every accusation is literally a projection

sushiking064 :

MLK said this right before he was assassinated

Boaby :

welcome to the American dream

Mansas Kansas :

DEI was for them

treindfleisch :

Called “red lining”, pretty common knowledge these days

Tiffaney :

For everyone said we were lazy…

InfatuatedHeart :

She did some research 👍👍

AMARIE | WELCOME TO MY WORLD :

White American received reparations after slavery for loss of labor. Yet the slaves got nothing. And asking for reparations today is the end of the world

scarytoast5.0 :

I actually did learn this in school I wasn’t popular so I just paid attention 😪😪

Huitzilopochtli01 :

This girl just dropped facts

Ryne Kremer :

Wrote my senior thesis on redlining and its longitudinal impact. It has had a large influence on so many things we see today.

EnaturallyMe :

yes! they didn't teach us this. welfare was initially created for yts. everyone else had to advocate for civil rights to get a portion of the same 30 years later!
