Where did the idea come from that support for a second New Deal means support for Jim Crow?

11. It's not an actual idea, it's a huge misunderstanding of the point that is made that

the New Deal did indeed involve segregation in programs, and didn't include women and POC in many of the training for trades. To remind people of that when they wax nostalgic about previous eras where white men got the vast majority of any job assistance isn't equating "The New Deal" with "Jim Crow."

A "New New Deal" would have to significantly deal with a labor force that is much larger, much more diverse, and that would mean it would be more complicated. It's another way of saying that throwing around the term "New Deal" doesn't conjure up halcyon images of those WPA murals for everyone.

Same goes for the golden age of labor, when we had strong labor Unions. Pointing out that Unions in that era kept women and POC out of the best jobs, isn't saying that support for strengthening labor in 2017 means support for discriminatory practices.

I hope that clarifies things.
