Most whites can trace their families to some time around 1900s when many immigrants from Germany, Scandinavia, Russia, Poland, Italy, etc came to the states. Most of these people settled into big cities and worked in factories in shitty conditions. During that time, people weren't moving to the west for free land but rather staying in the cities because that's were the industrial jobs were. What you're talking about is probably some time between 1800-1900.

So no, most whites can't trace their wealth to land given to their great grandfathers because most whites today are not of anglo saxon decent who have 200 years of settlement history here.

TIL immigrants have never had sex with non-immigrants.

I learned something interesting. Most white families can trace their familial wealth back to being given land for free in the 1800's, and frequently minorities were excluded from these programs.

Who knew that which races had access to homesteads would be such an important factor in race relations today.

I wish my high school history teachers had framed things this way when teaching, instead of just mentioning homesteads and going on to the next fact. It would have made me value history a lot earlier and given context to why things are the way they are today.

most white families have a land rich ancestor at the same rate as Lizzy Warren's maybe indian blood.

We have a working process, seems you dont know well how it works here.
How about bad landlords ? Thus they know the risk.



It's not easy. We better simply jump on the social reason of why there's so much tenants, social fracture, and shitty cherry pick up of youtube examples.
