(10,942 posts)FDR turned a blind eye to southern racism because he needed the votes of dixiecrats to enact his policies. Does that fact disqualify what FDR accomplished? The world is not black and white like many of your ilk innocently believe, there is plenty of gray, as a matter of fact, there is all gray. Progress never happens along a straight line, good ole boy from Texas can get more impactive civil rights legislation passed than any so-called liberal before him. Yet, "true" progressive, democrat, paragons of all good, god's agents on earth insist that only their way works, when mounds of evidence show that more moderate, but focused and persistent efforts have accomplished more in five short years than the "true" crowd accomplished in many decades. Post on, with many links, in the end it's only meaningful to the amen choir that pops up cheering such rather meaningless prose.
