re: #89 HappyWarrior

And can I just say this enough of this bullshit about what the party was in the FDR days. FDR was head of a Democratic Party that didn’t take bold stops to prohibit lynching. I appreciate Roosevelt’s legacy especially on economics but let’s not rewrite history to ignore that FDR was fine with the Dixiecrats as long as they voted for his programs.

All of FDR’s economic programs to assist the WWC… the WWC were supportive of these programs ONLY ON THE CONDITION that blacks and hispanics couldn’t have access to any of the benefits.

That’s how poor white people became middle class, and poor non-whites were left behind.
