You’re doing what racists do - lump all people together.Whites have received what you call AA from 1776.
The Naturalization Act of 1790 states: “any alien, being a free white person,” could apply for citizenship, so long as they lived in the United States for at least two years and in the state where the application was filed for at least one year. This law allowed “children of citizens of the United States that may be born … out of the limits of the United States shall be considered as natural-born citizens.”Affirmative Action for whites.
Slavery was AA for whites.
Dred Scott v. Sandford. “A black man has no rights a white man is bound to respect.” AA for whites.
Indian Removal policy. AA for whites.
Homestead ACT. AA for white.
Black codes. AA for whites
Jim Crow. AA for whites.
Plessy v. Feguson. AA for whites
Restrictive Covenants. AA for whites.

I can keep going.
Whites have gotten what you call AA since 1776. And you are a beneficiary of Affirmative action.
We have white individuals today. They did not receive AA since 1776 because they weren’t alive.
And before you start in with ”generational wealth,” what about MY family? Grandparents arrived in the early 20th century - impoverished, uneducated, unable to speak the language, and then raising their families in inner-city tenements. Yet one generation later, their kids were all college graduates, with homes in the suburbs.
Stop blaming racism for the poor choices of blacks who remain mired in racism. If you’re unwilling to tell them to follow the path of impoverished Jews who became successful in one generation, then tell them to follow the path of impoverished blacks who became successful.
Instead, you call them Uncle Toms because they show that with the right traits and choices, one can become successful despite racism. Kills your narrative that it’s all whitey’s fault.
