Not when FDR did great things for minorities, such as the equal opportunity employment act which forbid employers from not hiring people based on their race. This is a silly argument, both men were racist just like everyone else in their time, but to somehow claim that FDR was more racist when he actually did something good for black people while TR was busy discharging whole regiments of blacks from the army (Brownsfield) is out there. |
Hahaha. I'll take Brownsfield vs Japanese Internment Anyday.
I'll also take TRs Inviting the first black man to the whitehouse, being for universal sufferage, appointing people to the white house etc. Well above the equal oppurtunity employment act... which did nothing for people based on race because FDR did nothing to help black people get anything resembling equal education.
FEPC didn't really do anything TR already didn't... since TR already did have a standard of hiring people with no regards to race.
