folks black and white was a racist oligarch, there's nothing left to say..

Roosevelt's executive order was created to ban "discrimination" in the federal gov.. While establishing the FEPC to enforce it..

Roosevelt signed legislation "desegregating" the armed forces, his intention was obvious. You're choosing to ignore the fact that we were in the middle of WW2, and the military refused to comply.. To expect Roosevelt to personally insure that all three depts. of military comply while in the middle a world wide war is beyond naive... FDR wasn't perfect, internment was a mistake but what Roosevelt accomplished in terms of lifting of all races people out of poverty was unprecedented...

The only thing to "get" is it's easy to ignore the facts and vilify anyone... I could do the same thing with Gandhi or MLK question their motives, focus on their weaknesses but why? What would be the point other than trying to discredit their accomplishments.. What a fucking waste of my time and yours...

Holder was married to the banking industry. Not a fan, but I'm sure Wall Street loves the guy...
