Fifties were a better time. We need to return to a better Democratic Party.

279. Wow.

Cheese Sandwich is one of Bernie's biggest troopers here. If he (I can't see from his profile if it's he or she so I apologize if I got that wrong) is dressing you down for this, you've really gone over the edge. This thread and your myriad attempts to justify it reek of white privilege so clearly snowy is a great name for you.

And not for nothing, one of the great areas of disagreement I have with Bernie is that racism comes from economic injustice. They are two different things and the former impacts the latter as much as the other way around. How accurately can we assess the so called economic golden years of the 1950's without also assessing the fact that it came on the backs of oppressed minorities? You may also want to check just how much that prosperity was the product of war. I don't want economic justice for one group at the expense of the social justice of others and I am hardly what anyone I know what call a social justice warrior but your post really set me off. This belief that Bernie and others push that a stronger economic balance will fix other social ills falls flat just on your example of the 1950's. Whites had plenty.

And finally, anyone who things money fixes racial issues needs to google the time Orprah tried to buy that purse in Switzerland. She is one of the wealthiest women in the world and almost certainly the wealthiest black woman. It didn't stop her from being treated like crap.
