African-Americans have faced disenfranchisement consistently since reconstruction. That is why they are poor. Being able to afford college is a privilege. Being able to pull yourself out of poverty is a privilege. The “American Dream” is that there is a fair meritocracy at play. We’re finally making moves towards that and those who benefit from it are pissed off. I don’t have hard laws to point towards, but laws are made based on culture. The US is in the midst of a cultural revolution. The majority is realizing that we should have a society that treats people fairly. That is pissing some people off.
