  • During the Great Depression, unemployment among African-Americans was twice that of whites - mostly due to segregation. One rare opportunity came on the Pullman sleeper trains, where most of the porters were black.

      It’s sole purpose was to reduce unemployment. You’re a teacher - you should know how to look up unemployment rates from 1933-1945, right?

      Maybe if the whole truth was talked about in regards to most of this some people may not react to it. Are you aware that the KKK was set up by the democrats who also opposed the abolition of slavery, were against the civil rights movement of the 1950s and even voted against the civil rights act of 1964.

      That is just pure nonsense at best. There was democrat senators in the 1960s who voted against the civil rights act and were still democratic senators up until 2010. Robert Byrd was the former head of the KKK and was a democrat right up to 2010..
      David Duke the current head of the KKK was previously a democrat and even ran for office as a democrat. The switch you are referring never actually happened.

    Things are getting better, but still have a long way to go. I have been fighting the racism in America since the mid-70s. Things have greatly improved since then, but it seems my generation needs to die off before equality has a real chance. Most people in my generation (I am 59) are great people, but enough are still caught in ignorance and bigotry that more progress will be too slow. In twenty years or so, most of us will be gone and hopefully things will be much better. There will always be bigotry, but I believe in the next few generations to step up and make us all proud. Happy New Years to all! Make 2018 a great year. 2017 has been a year of hatred and bigotry. I like to call 2017 the year of the orangutan.

If you decide to leave the hood and make your life better your an UNCLE TOM and a traitor to your color of skin. Just enough to survive like health care, wic, ebt,according to the masters (DEMOCRATS). Learn some historical truth or continue voting in your masters.

      Poverty is absolutely a thing that is factored over generations.
      And the invisible defacto semi-apartheid system in the "north states" has been just as harmful towards people of color as the segregation system of the south was!
      But you know, cognitive dissonance is a strong force and people will fight viciously to protect it - so when presented with simple historical facts, they will feel a deep need to lash out to protect the narrative they feel confortable with!
      The most "soft" of them will go, "that was then, it doesn't matter now" - and the more radical their cognitive dissonance is, the more strongly they will react and it becomes more like, "it was and is their own fault", or "they are born lazy" etc....

      The New Deal did NOT cause the depression. Before FDr took office I believe, the unemployment was at 25%. You mention the stock market crash. The stock market crash was a result and ultimately led to the depression and was the start of it. It was because of conservative economic policies in the 1920's which helped cause such problems. The Revenue Act of 1932 came well after the 1929 stock market crash and well into the depression.
