White progressives’ racial myopia: Why their colorblindness fails minorities — and the left

[TheKentuckian]

38. Reaganomics and deregulation aren't good policy because they happened after the civil rights act

Do people seriously believe that these policies only come with loss of access for minorities or some such thing.

I'm not getting this seeming suggestion that say if Glass-Stegall were in place black folks would be worse off.

I don't recall any calls for sockhops, switchblade knives, bobbiesox, crooners, a war in Korea, the Cold War.

I figure one can love the Marx Brothers films and not be plotting to bring back Jim Crow.

There is simply no campaign on how awesome things were in the 50's but rather one to attempt to turn the most disenfranchised from the policies and politicians most likely to give them a hand up out of the worst of the shit rather than to keep piling on driving us deeper into the muck.

My grandfather loved his pension, Social Security, VA, and FDR. I think his deal was desirable and good policy too so I'll continue to believe in retaining the good while casting out the bad from any time.

If you don't think our best today are going to get rolleyeyes and be graded on a curve based on the context of our time then I think you are probably delusional

I defy you to tell me how real people's lives, minorities and women especially aren't better off with the policies progressives/liberals/D.F.H. champion than the "centrist" bullshit policies.
