The root cause is the racism.

Black people are poorer on average because of systemic racism, and they get shut out of benefits not specifically sectioned for them and them alone because of systemic racism.

Poor whites aren't poor because of literal centuries of being treated as literal farm animals, complete with actual husbandry programs when importation became illegal.

Poor whites aren't struggling to find affordable housing because of being specifically excluded from New Deal era housing loans.

Poor whites aren't facing all that on top of being disproportionately likely to just randomly get murdered by the fucking cops.

Poor Whites can afford to sit the fuck down and let the black folks have what was intended for them.
