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

79. You mean economic justice for white working class men.

Because when it happens to them, then EVERYBODY thinks there's a problem.

Is that what you mean?

Or are you saying that keeping health care specific to women, or adding LGBTQs as a class of people protected from workplace harassment can't be established without a specific guaranteed $15 minimum wage at the same time?

Tell me that these men would have totes gotten economic justice waiting around for whatever the term "economic justice" means to straight white men, who were in the golden age of labor, and had "economic justice" as defined by those who say unions were the source of economic justice.

As long as social issues drive economic issues, we will not wait for so-called economic justice for white straight men as some sort of green light.


If women, gays and people of color are legally discriminated against, there is no economic justice forthcoming, even if there is a strong labor movement for white men. The crap that the only universal issues are those that affect white straight men needs to be called out for what it is.
