I didn't know that about the GI Bill:
How the GI Bill's Promise Was Denied to a Million Black WWII Veterans | HISTORY
The sweeping bill following World War II promised prosperity to veterans. So why didn’t Black Americans benefit?
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...
...Veterans who did qualify could not find facilities that delivered on the bill’s promise. Black veterans in a vocational training program at a segregated high school in Indianapolis were unable to participate in activities related to plumbing, electricity and printing because adequate equipment was only available to white students.
Simple intimidation kept others from enjoying GI Bill benefits. In 1947, for example, a crowd hurled rocks at Black veterans as they moved into a Chicago housing development. Thousands of Black veterans were attacked in the years following World War II and some were singled out and lynched.
Do you sweep your apartment upon returning to see if anyone has been in it, Marco? Do you look behind the toilet and under the couch to see if drugs have been planted there?

I didn't know that about the GI Bill:
Though the bill helped white Americans prosper and accumulate wealth in the postwar years, it didn’t deliver on that promise for veterans of color. In fact, the wide disparity in the bill’s implementation ended up helping drive growing gaps in wealth, education and civil rights between white and Black Americans.How the GI Bill's Promise Was Denied to a Million Black WWII Veterans | HISTORY

Fear of Black Advancement
When lawmakers began drafting the GI Bill in 1944, some Southern Democrats feared that returning Black veterans would use public sympathy for veterans to advocate against Jim Crow laws. To make sure the GI Bill largely benefited white people, the southern Democrats drew on tactics they had previously used to ensure that the New Deal helped as few Black people as possible.

Marco the Brazilian proves he can read English at the 4th grade level and knows how to cut'n'paste. Kudos, Marco!
Soooo....you don't check? Interesting, Marco.
Who has keys to your apartment? The manager? "Friends"? The owner? A $5000 bribe goes a long ways in Brazil, especially something as simple as hiding a small package in the top of a closet or cut a small hole in the fabric on the back of a couch.

What exactly Anna Connelly's credentials?
She's smarter and more talented than a MAGA loser and drunk will ever be. Sad.
Feel free to rebut any point made in the video.
You do know that parties switched sides on that issue back in the early 60s, right?
No, he doesn't. Marco is a Brazilian who only knows about the US from Fox News and JPP.

And? Lots of what you call "magas" state documented facts all the time and you don't listen why should I listen to this rando? This is what I mean with you people, make a reasoned argument for why I should listen to this leftist nitwit. Can you do that? My money is not on Yes
