2. Title 3 of the GI Bill kept black people and black veterans from getting mortgages on homes as said in the text, “left black veterans to tangle with white officials at their local Veterans Administration as well as with the same banks that had, for years, refused to grant mortgages to blacks.” This left white people with the better homes and black people to go to the cheapest parts of America. Another reason black people were left for nothing is that the National Association of Real Estate Board said that ” “a Realtor should never be instrumental in introducing into a neighborhood … any race or nationality, or any individuals whose presence will clearly be detrimental to property values.” So all of the good neighborhoods that already had white people in them could not be sold to other races.

3.Based on what we read, we know that white privilege has been relevant since the beginning; this is what I believe the comparison of Obama’s and Bush’s is suggesting. No matter how much the Obama children accomplish, it will only be because of how hard they worked, whereas with the Bush children, they have had so much privilege in their lives and their parents have had the same amount that they could work way less hard and end up with more accomplishments.

The inevitability of that needs to happen may scare the ones who uphold white supremacy. It’s threatening to our school systems because white people will finally learn and understand what they have done and been apart of, in order to learn and grow. It is not threatening to those who understand and feel for what has happened through white supremacy.
