White Tethers — The Real Welfare Class of American History

White Tethers — The Real Welfare Class of American History
https://youtu.be/_x_IvnXvB2M

🎥 DESCRIPTION

Every time Foundational Black Americans talk about reparations —
the same white tethers appear, shouting:

“No one alive today owned slaves!”
“Why should you get handouts?”
“Pull yourself up by your bootstraps!”

But history tells a different story.
Because the biggest handouts in American history — the land grants, loans, and bailouts — went not to the enslaved, but to white Americans and European immigrants.

This episode of Blacklogic dismantles the myth of the “self-made American” and exposes the long lineage of white welfare, from the Compensated Emancipation Act of 1862 to the Homestead Act, the New Deal, and the GI Bill — all of which built generational white wealth while locking Black America out.

We trace how these programs created the modern “White Tether”:
people who inherited government-funded privilege yet weaponize “bootstraps” rhetoric against the very lineage that built the nation’s wealth.

Through documented history, federal records, and peer-reviewed data, we reveal the real welfare class — and it isn’t us.
