You're here...so yes.
Also education benefits.
While the GI Bill’s language did not specifically exclude African-American veterans from its benefits, it was structured in a way that ultimately shut doors for the 1.2 million Black veterans who had bravely served their country during World War II, in segregated ranks.

That's not the GI bill.

I was mocking you, Julie. The GI bill did NOT discriminate against minorities. It was assistance for education and buying property, and any GI was eligible. Blacks were under-represented in its beneficiaries because they have traditionally lagged in education and (not coincidentally) occupational achievement. If you couldn't pass the admissions test, you didn't get into college (at least not back then when admissions were merit based) and you didn't get GI educational benefits. Same with a home loan - if you couldn't pass the solvency test to qualify for a mortgage, you didn't get GI Bill mortgage assistance. This is simply CRT radical Marxists revising history - "unequal outcomes is evidence of (systemic) racism." That is, of course, complete rat sh*t...
For chrissakes...here is what I posted.
Don't know about racist, but there is this important fact about the guy who signed the GI bill...
Truman signed Executive Order 9981 on July 26, 1948, calling for the desegregation of the U.S. Armed Forces, he repudiated 170 years of officially sanctioned discrimination. ... It became a crucial step toward inspiring other parts of American society to accept desegregation
Where did I say it was the GI bill?
What you're describing is the systemic racism that made black vets unable to use the GI bill benefits.
Unequal schooling -> black vets being unprepared to use GI bill for college.
Black vets were unable to use the GI bill for home loans. They were stopped by banks, by redlining, by systemic racism in the system. Home ownership was the main way whites were able to accumulate wealth. That was denied blacks leading to the inequity we see to this day.
More reasons why we need to teach our children the history of race.
I agree. It should be taught in K-12 grades. The history being taught now is false.
Thank you.
They could barely handle Black History Month. I believe they felt oppressed by it. LOL
They have their marching orders to resist an accurate history of race being taught to our kids. Just watch FoxNews and other rightwing stations.....or listen to that gawdawful AM talk radio. The brainwashing is ignorant and disgusting.

Truman didn't sign the GI bill.
