The G.I. Bill, was a law that provided a range of benefits for returning World War II veterans (commonly referred to as G.I.s). Benefits included low-cost mortgages, low-interest loans to start a business, cash payments of tuition and living expenses to attend university, high school or vocational education, as well as one year of unemployment compensation. It was available to every veteran who had been on active duty during the war years for at least ninety days and had not been dishonorably discharged; combat was not required. By 1956, roughly 2.2 million veterans had used the G.I. Bill education benefits in order to attend colleges or universities, and an additional 5.6 million used these benefits for some kind of training program.
Guess who those funds were given to and who was left out?
Most of the black men who applied for that bill ended up in high rise apartment projects.

The problem here is the glorifying of the ghetto lifestyle amongst black americans (even spreading so far to the UK and Canada and even the Caribbean, I'm Jamaican so I've witnessed it) and being so far stuck in the past you have to bring up old stale receipts just to defend your weak claims.
