What American President has done the most to undermine Black progress post the Civil War?

Woodrow Wilson had a red carpet screening of Birth Of A Nation at the white house

What's the price

It’s hard to chose between Johnson and Reagan. Johnson didn’t believe in reconstruction and undermined it from the start. It’s hard to conceptualize how much of damage he did.


Reagan was the culmination of the southern strategy and set the foundation to justify all our current racist policies.


While no POTUS has been a great champion, FDR doesn’t belong on this list, imo

Gotta go with reagon because I witness what he did

 

[staticshock]

Surprised none of these smart dumb negros said Obama

 

[T’Challa’s Heir]

If the question is done the most undermine, it’s gotta be one either Johnson or Hayes. They functionally eliminated black progress. The Reagans, Nixons, and Wilson’s don’t get a chance to if Johnson and Hayes hadn’t effectively extended slavery another 60 years.

Andrew Johnson by far. If he wasn't so forgiving of Confeds and resistant to the radical Republicans of the time things would be alot different today. A lot of the bullshyt institutional racism could've been removed, newly freed people would've had their rights protected and there would have been no need for a Civil Rights Movement in the 1960's

Lyndon Johnson got all that credit but it was Kennedy plan in his second term to get things even Eisenhower wanted done. Smartest thing Kennedy had going for him was the one person who was in the senate with him and had the power to stop (and did) any real civil rights legislation under Eisenhower was his VP by choice his real VP was his brother.

Lyndon B. Johnson without question....his relationship with dr king changed our community forever

the grassroots endorsed black leader, as well as the many black organizations throughout the country died right here, we handed the keys to our community over to these devils and they've had it ever since

Fdr. All the wealth disparity of blacks can be traced back to all the welfare provided by the new deal to whites and denied to blacks.

This book covers it.

LBJ just did a lite version of what FDR did... that legislation helped white folk more than anyone.

 

[Easy-E]

Anyone not saying Johnson don't know history.

He basically made it that no recovery was offered right after slavery.

That CAC was saying "get over it" a couple months after the Emancipation Proclamation.

They handed everything the guy who along with Strom Thurmon killed any sort of real civil rights bill in the 50's
