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

Or maybe not so much. The line of think that drives the division that benefits the oligarchy and oppresses people economically is rooted in slavery. Poor whites simulatneously held elevated and oppressed status. They were told then, as they are now, that people of color would take their jobs if slavery ended. The message that people of color will take what belongs to them sends the message that their rightful superior status is compromised. Not by wealthy white people, but by people of color. Say, blacks and whites come together. Is there really a belief that income inequality will be instantly eliminated? If everyone is doing okay financially does centuries worth of racial resentment disappear?

Ending social injustice does not end economic injustice any more than the reverse. They are intrinsically related, and if we abandon one for the other get neither. Neither the New Deal, nor the Civil Rights Act fixed everything. We're still having a backlash against both. But, there are white people who will accept being poor and treated like crap by other white people as long as they are viewed as superior to someone. That's how LGBT get into the mix. Notice how the strategy is to convince people that transsexuals cost more money. Attacking medicaid has always been about the money. White middle class people have practically been trained to believe that the majority of recipients are people of color. And, there is propaganda claiming that immigrants are eligible for social services.
