Okay. Got the video to work.
First, Colleges:
In Texas, we have a top 10% rule which requires all Texas public universities to automatically accept any applicant who is in the top 10% of his/her Texas high school graduating class (except for the fucking longhorns because they are a bunch of racist Klanhorn assholes who lobbied the legislature to let them raise it to 7% for them only). It bypasses and supersedes standardized testing and any legacy points.
That policy has had the effect of increasing the opportunities for blacks and hispanics while being race neutral, and the response has been very positive for all involved. A&M is practically busting at the seams, especially with hispanic students, and no race-based policy was implemented. It has been exceptionally positive for Texas high schools with a majority of black students. Nearly a full 10% of the students from those schools are black students and they are automatically admitted.
I would argue that this race-neutral policy has been more effective than race-based affirmative action. Many non-white kids who would not otherwise be excited with their limited options, now have their pick. And there's no resentment by white kids. They have the sense of being treated fairly too, which I believe improves race relations.
But regarding the HUD and other white-only lending practices, that did give white folk a clear advantage. No question about it.
Those advantages didn't find there way to me, unfortunately.

I am the son of two Vietnam veterans who both came from shit and who left me with ZERO inheritance (aka shit). The only thing they left me was membership in USAA, which I am happy to have, but the old man was forcefully drafted into a bullshit war and was never treated for the PTSD he was gifted as result. He spent the rest of his life being a bat-shit crazy government-hating, tax-protesting conspiracy nut who was chronically unemployed.

I could tell some stories about it that would blow your mind.
But, all that white affirmative action is the result of government overreach and a lack of self-reliance on the part of white folks. I would argue that, throughout history, white folks have turned to government to solve all their problems more than any other racial group. Even now, hordes of white folks from all walks instinctively turn to government as a solution to any problem, big or small. And it drives me insane!!!
White folks be like "To Government":
Unfortunately, I am not sure how to correct those prior government-implemented and funded white advantages, particularly when a majority of white folks (like me) didn't get any of those government goodies. I'm kinda pissed about it. I want my white AAction, dammit
What are some of the suggested solutions?
