I promise you, this country would've been had universal healthcare, college, and chilcare if White people were the only ones who had access to it. How do I know? How do you think Social Security and the GI BILL were passed after WWII?

Read about the Social Security Act of 1935 that systemically excluded Black farm and domestic workers from collecting social security. It excluded over 65% of the entire Black American population.

Read about how Rep John Rankin from Mississippi made sure Black GIs had to deal with White racist government officials to access educational benefits while their White counterparts faced no barrier.

The GI BILL led to an economic boom for White America and enlarged the wealth gap between them & Black Americans.

Both are examples of socialized programs for Whites. This is why I believe most Republicans who claim to be against socialism aren't. They just don't want Black folks to have the same opportunities they've had.

Very few economic conservatives exist in today's GOP. Socialism is just another way of saying the n-word. Call it what it is.

Any historians on my TL? I'm going off my memory. I learned all this stuff in sixth grade. My 6th grade teacher Ms. Rosa Colon made me read books when I told her I loved history and politics.

Welfare only became bad when Black people had access to it. Prior to that, it was exclusively to help those poor White folks.
Think about the racist whole welfare queen myth, even though most people on welfare have always been white.

Now put it together with the Republican's obsession to "end socialism" by reducing the national debt & Grover Norquist's idea to drown the government in a bathtub during the 80s & 90s.

RP anti-socialism rants have always been about limiting Black access to social programs.
