Lets see what laws/government programs helped whites? Lets see:
1830 Indian Removal Act, specifically meant for white people Indian removal
Early in the 19th century, while the rapidly-growing United States expanded into the lower South, white settlers faced what they considered an obstacle. This area was home to the Cherokee, Creek, Choctaw, Chicasaw and Seminole nations. These Indian nations, in the view of the settlers and many other white Americans, were standing in the way of progress. Eager for land to raise cotton, the settlers pressured the federal government to acquire Indian territory.
The Homestead Act of 1862
Blacks were in slavery so this act overwhelmingly benefited white people
The Wagner Act. Created at a time when blacks were by and large excluded from AFL and CIO, the largest labor unions in the country at that time.
When the FHA was formed in the 1930s as a New deal federal govt program, there was no provision in it to stop the practice of redlining, which in overwhelmingly benefited whites. Because of this *FEDERAL GOVT* program, most whites in the country became homeowners which imbued them with a certain amount of wealth because of the equity tied to home, so the myth that most whites owned their houses through hard work without govt help is BS
Redlining in Philadelphia
Another link below explaining better what I just said, a shame they never teach white people this in school nor black people:
RESIDENTIAL RACIAL SEGREGATION
B. The Role of Government in Creating Housing Segregation
The role of federal and state government in creating and maintaining residential racial segregation must be understood, without excuse, as a reality of American history. On the federal level, the United States government reinforced discriminatory norms through various public policies. The Federal Housing Administration (FHA) adopted the practice of "red-lining," a discriminatory rating system used by FHA to evaluate the risks associated with loans made to borrowers in specific urban neighborhoods.[14] The vast majority of the loans went to the two top categories of the rating system, the highest of which included areas that were "new, homogenous, and in demand in good times and bad."[15] The second highest category was comprised of mostly stable areas that were still desirable. The third category, and the level at which discriminatory "red-lining" began, consisted of working class neighborhoods near black residences that were "within such a low price or rent range as to attract an undesirable element."[16] Black areas were placed in the fourth cate gory. Mortgage funds were channeled away from fourth category African American neighborhoods and were typically redirected from communities that were located near a black settlement or an area expected to contain black residences in the future.[17] As a result of these policies, the vast majority of FHA mortgage loans went to borrowers in white middle-class neighborhoods, and very few were awarded to black neighborhoods in central cities.[18] Between 1930 and 1950, three out of five homes purchased in the United States were financed by FHA, yet less than two percent of the FHA loans were made to non-white home buyers.[19] The FHA thus became the first federal agency to openly counsel and support segregation.[20]
The FHA was operated in a racially discriminatory manner since its inception in 1937 and set itself up as the "protector of all white neighborhoods," using its field agents to "keep Negroes and other minorities from buying houses in white neighborhoods."[21] Evidence also indicates that the federal government used interstate highway and urban renewal programs to segregate those blacks that had previously lived in more racially diverse communities.[22] Conse quently, these schemes increased the concentration of poverty where it has festered ever since and has caused the federal government to be labeled as "most influential in creating and maintaining residential segregation."[23]
There you have it above, documented proof of whites benefiting from govt programs, need any more history lessons you rightwing retards? I bet some of you retards would like to believe that the homes on your grandparents, great-grandparents and for you old timer rightwing retards, parents, were the result of hard work without federal govt help, check your history, whites have an established history of benefiting from the federal govt.
Anything more recent?
Like AA or something?
