#1 The Democratic lawmakers said that Black veterans had limited access to GI benefits in the past because most state and local veterans administrations were largely run by white officials.

Anyone else see where this is going ?

I agree and support equal treatment.

I agree there has been serious PAST discrimination.

But isn't rewarding Grandchildren, just another form of Reparations.

IMPORTANT NOTE:
When congressional lawmakers began drafting the GI Bill in 1944, it was the Democrats that fought it tooth and nail.

Deeper research, despite many recent WOKE rewrites that have now tainted history, quickly show this was a nationwide practice 70-80 years ago.

NOT just the SOUTH.

A lot of violent discrimination was also in Northern States and Northern cities. eg. Chicagoan's hurling rocks at Black Service men and their families moving to housing developments.

#3 'tis another variant of 'reparations,' albeit a more documentable and less ridiculous one. But after this, the deluge.

#7 IMO all governments should abstain from $$ grants to 'higher' education. Provide free scholarships to vocational schools. Let the 'ELI' find their own money.

#8 Those returning Black WWII Vets who were not of middle class were working towards it...until The Great Society arrived, once again enslaving them.
