When the "New Deal" was White Affirmative Action
Manage episode 341825550 series 2882904
Universalist social policies like Social Security and Unemployment Insurance are praised as key to eliminating racial inequity. However, Ira Katznelson's book, "When Affirmative Action was White", challenges this argument. He explainins how Northern Democrats conceding to Dixiecrat desires to exclusion of Blacks from critical support provision led to White benefiting more than Blacks, serving as a form of white Affirmative Action.
In the first of two conversations on the topic, we compare the history and impacts of the New Deal for White with the history and impact of Affirmative Action for minorities. This comparison reveals the New Deal's support of white communities was more impactful than affirmative action's support of minority communites, which is likely to be severely curtailed by a conservative Supreme Court.
