05 28 25 Welfare Was Created for White People
A lot of folks think welfare was designed to help "the poor"—but it was carefully crafted to help white people first, most, and longest.

From the GI Bill to New Deal programs, early U.S. social safety nets explicitly excluded Black Americans through loopholes, job category exclusions, and outright racism. When Black and brown people finally gained access, that’s when public support started to vanish.

This isn’t an opinion—it’s policy history. And we need to say it out loud.
