Me think the lady doth protest too much. We have the internet now you know.
Socialism is only for the right people, not all citizens.
Then you shouldn't have a problem finding proof of a claim YOU made. Typical lefty. Make a claim he refuses to back up.
And now you're reduced to slinging labels as per usual. Since you wish to hide from the truth, here's one to get you started. Now you can deny this as well on your road to obfuscation. If you had any curiosity rather than a mission of denial, you would do your own research and discover a not so rosey picture.
To say the there was no racial disparity in the ramifications and roll out of the GI Bill is simply patently false, but you cannot abide any query of the power structure. Such is the nature of american society. Horses to water, same phenomenon.
And you will now simply spin this into your being right about everything as well, as per usual. So this isn't really for you anyway, but the information is public for any who wish to understand this society better. Deny on my freind. I would suggest you stay tuned to your usual outlets of "information" rather than use this as a launching pad to research more for yourself; your meme will be threatened.
Sarah Turner and John Bound’s in depth analysis found the effects of the GI Bill to be racially unequal following World War II. The educational level completed by the veterans differed for black and white veterans, even though the bill technically provided the exact same aid to both races (Turner and Bound 2002). Turner and Bound argue that this disparity was completely based upon the location in which the veterans resided. In Turner and Bound’s research, they discovered that the accessibility of upper level education was much more constricted in the South than in the North. The colleges for black people were much less numerous than those for whites and the enrollment sizes were smaller in the South than in the North (Turner and Bound 2002, 7). Furthermore, admissions officers were much more likely to allow a black person into a traditionally white college in the Northern states than anywhere else. Harley L. Browning, Sally C. Lopreato, and Dudley L. Poston add to this argument and claim that, immediately after World War II, this inequality was also a result of different sets of societal norms in the different places where the veterans lived. They argue that when black veterans returned home, they were much less likely to try to leave the familiar socioeconomic class they had belonged to before the war. This was a lower class than most whites had been in pre-war. However, all of these historians only analyze the effects of the GI Bill immediately after World War II and fail to include evaluation of the time when Jim Crow did not play a major role in the South. In and of itself, the Bill was “race-neutral”; however, multiple external factors help explain why the benefits of the Bill were distributed unevenly among the races.
In addition to looking at the correlation between race, location, and levels of education of the veterans following World War II, I also analyze these trends in the time period following the Korean Conflict GI Bill in 1952 and the Post-Korean Conflict and Vietnam Era GI Bill in 1966. These two extensions provided similar benefits to the veterans of each respective war (Dortch 2016, 7). These later extensions occurred during the Cold War era, a tumultuous time period in American history with an extreme effect on the society and education system. During this time the government allocated funds to enhance both public and private educational opportunities, especially in science and math (Thelin, Edwards, and Moyen 2016). In addition, the Civil Rights movement in the 1960s broke down barriers for black people in higher education all across the country and most notably, in the South. However, there is very little literature discussing the distribution of the GI Bill during this time frame, so all analysis I have done is based upon the consideration of the census data and the information available about the effects of the Civil Rights movement and Cold War policies, rather than on historians’ studies of the bills.
