re: #151 Belafon

Some of those greatest generation voted for these people. Quite a few of them, actually. The greatest generation denied just about everything they could to blacks, including GI Bill benefits to black soldiers returning from WW2.

Not to mention that in order to gain southern support for New Deal policies, farm workers and domestics were excluded from Social Security to ensure that darker-skinned people wouldn’t get any. And a mile long list of other deplorable acts.
