After reading that entry, it seems like this is in fact NOT TRUE.

African Americans and the G.I. Bill

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

African American veterans benefited less than others from the G.I. Bill.

The G.I. Bill aimed to help American World War II veterans adjust to civilian life by providing them with benefits including low-cost mortgages, low-interest loans and financial support. African Americans did not benefit from nearly as much as White Americans. Historian Ira Katznelson argues that "the law was deliberately designed to accommodate Jim Crow".[1] Of the first 67,000 mortgages insured by the G.I. Bill, fewer than 100 were taken out by non-whites.[2]

Additionally, banks and mortgage agencies refused loans to blacks, making the G.I. Bill even less effective for blacks.[3] Once they returned from the war, blacks faced discrimination and poverty, which represented a barrier to harnessing the benefits of the G.I. Bill, because labor and income were immediately needed at home.

Most southern universities principals refused to admit blacks until the Civil Rights revolution. Segregation was legally mandated in that region. Colleges accepting blacks in the South initially numbered 100. Those institutions were of lower quality, with 28 of them classified as sub-baccalaureate. Only seven states offered postbaccalaureate training, while no accredited engineering or doctoral programs were available for blacks. These institutions were all smaller than white or nonsegregated universities, often facing a lack of resources.[4]

By 1946, only one fifth of the 100,000 blacks who had applied for educational benefits had been registered in college.[5] Furthermore, historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) came under increased pressure as rising enrollments and strained resources forced them to turn away an estimated 20,000 veterans. HBCUs were already the poorest colleges. HBCU resources were stretched even thinner when veterans’ demands necessitated an expansion in the curriculum beyond the traditional "preach and teach" course of study.[3]

Though blacks encountered many obstacles in their pursuit of G.I. benefits, the bill greatly expanded the population of African Americans attending college and graduate school. In 1940, enrollment at Black colleges was 1.08% of total U.S. college enrollment. By 1950 it had increased to 3.6%. However, these gains were limited almost exclusively to Northern states, and the educational and economic gap between white and black nationally, widened under the effects of the G.I. Bill.[6] With 79 percent of the black population living in southern states, educational gains were limited to a small part of black America.[3]

i think we'd have to look into it more closely but i susopect that the mechanisms of the GI bill hinged on the performance in good faith of certain third parties like banks which were not rgulated closely to be in compliance and as a consequence the benefits were not equally disbursed.

It's a legitimate beef, even if blacks were not in fact EXPRESSLY excluded.

So in other words the entire premise of your thread, that "blacks werent allowed to participate in the GI bill" is incorrect.

They were 100% allowed to participate in the GI bill as the policy tool that it was and at best (to your point), might have "benefited less than others" per the wiki entry.

Agreed. Even if its not "true" in any meaningful sense, it seems like its "right" to SPACEPORN so we should all consider it true.

Fair point. It could have been true anyway so at least it's fostered an important conversation here.
