We push back on the FDR was great and the 1950's were filled with awesome memes for a reason.

We for the most part were denied the ability to prosper due to Federally Mandated regulations in everything from where we were allowed to live to the penal interest rates and even what jobs were allowed to earn Social Security.

I can't believe I had to type that in this Group.

This is just known in this little corner of DU. And as an side - sundown integration and the raping of slaves could really screw up a slavery based reparation program.
