Contributing sentiments towards policy:

52% :Social Security is perhaps the signature policy of the New Deal era, but in deference to white Southerners, the program explicitly excluded farmworkers and domestic workers.
50% : As Katznelson explains, "These groups - constituting more than 60 percent of the black labor force in the 1930s and nearly 75 percent of those who were employed in the South - were excluded from the legislation that created modern unions, from laws that set minimum wages and regulated the hours of work, and from Social Security until the 1950s.
49% : In his book When Affirmative Action Was White, Ira Katznelson breaks down how "the South used its legislative powers to transfer its priorities about race to Washington.
47% : When it comes to the fifteenth amendment, however, the right to vote has necessitated further legislation to guarantee enforcement, and the opposition has been so intractable and longstanding that the Voting Rights Act has to be regularly renewed by Congress, necessitating negotiation and compromise with those who fear the power-shifting implications of letting everyone of all races actually cast ballots.
32% : This centuries-long, whites-first framework for immigration policy was most recently articulated by Donald John Trump - the man for whom 74 million Americans voted in 2020 - when he asked in 2018, "Why are we having all these people from shithole countries come here?"The sweeping social programs of the New Deal were the result of compromises with Confederate congressmen working to preserve white power.
