(6,891 posts)did it for the land and resources. They didn't come thousands of dangerous miles just to take from POC becasue they were POC. That is indefensible factually. I would very much like for you to provide some evidence to support your allegation that the social services network is biased in favor of poor, rural whites, unless you mean that because most poor people are white that somehow that biases the system in their favor. Indentured servitude wasn't created to benefit poor whites, neither was slavery or any of the other evils you mention. Literacy and aptitude tests were used extensively to keep Eastern Europeans from immigrating to the US as well as keeping blacks from voting. I cannot really grasp your insistence that being dirt poor means you're oppressed if you're black and privileged if your white. Have a nice day. It has been an interesting discussion.
