Proud Liberal
Yes, indeed....
...the Railway Labor Act was amended in 1934. It forced employers to negotiate wieth certified union representatives, but, of course, nearly all railroad unions banned black membership.
And here is the best part: when blacks tried to form their own unions, the National Railroad Adjustment Board ruled that they couldn't represent the blacks, and only the white unions had a monopoly.
Even the Supreme Court piled on in 'Brotherhood of Railway and Steamship Clerks vs UTSEA,' ruling that no judicial review was possible.
So what's your main point regarding FDR?
1. This, from chapter two of "Demonic," by Coulter:
The mob characteristic most gustily exhibited by liberals is the tendency to worship and idolize their political leaders. Le Bon explained that mobs can only grasp the very simple and very exaggerated. Their chosen images must be absolute and uncompromising As Le Bon says, the primitive black-and-white emotions of a crowd slip easily into infatuation for an individual. Liberals worship so many political deities that they must refer to them by initials, just to save time- FDR, JFK, RFK, MLK, LBJ, and O.J. Ever hear a conservative get weepy about RWR or refer to something as hokey as Camelot? Passionate adoration are the primitive emotions of a mob, sentiments generally associated with women, children, and savages, according to Le Bon.

2. "So what's your main point regarding FDR?"
That he doesn't deserve to be idolized.
Thanks for your answer. I guess Coulter missed all of the idolatry and deification of Ronald Reagan by so-called conservatives and the conservative talking heads. The same can be demonstrated regarding Palin as well. It's sort of like the pot calling the kettle black.
