@SusanInFlorida [quote]Harry Truman - he brought a quick end to World War 2 in the pacific, with a bang.[/quote]
Although Truman had dabbled with being a KKK member when he was younger, he dropped it and when he became President he renounced FDR's KKK policies by ending segregation in the military forces, which FDR had enforced. His action led to the eventual ending of overt Jim Crow in America.

@Diotrephes i think if you look in the right archives, every president between George Washington and Joe Biden has a racist/sexist/religiously offensive documument.
Biden was once caught on a hot mic impersonating a hindu convenience store owner, i believe.

Of course they were, and are, all racists like we all are. After all, we are Americans and America is based on racism. But the problem with FDR was that he was even more racist than the foreign enemies he was fighting. Black people had fought in every war since the Revolutionary War. During WWI over 200,000 were sent to Europe but the White Supremacists use them as laborers until one of their commanders hooked them up with the French. https://www.defense.gov/News/News-Stories/Article/Article/1429624/african-american-troops-fought-to-fight-in-world-war-i/
During WWII the propaganda was how America was fighting to make the world safe for democracy but that BS excluded Black citizens. FDR could have change that but he was too much of a Jim Crow baby. Truman had far more integrity although he had dabbled with joining the KKK decades before.
As for Biden, he was a racist and still is but he has a far more integrated staff than any previous president. https://whorulesamerica.ucsc.edu/diversity/diversity_in_presidential_cabinets.html

@Diotrephes i think america - the way the founding fathers conceived of it - puts wealth accumlation at the forefront. not racism. only propertied men could vote. If you were landless, a woman, or an indentured servant, fuggedaboutit.
the racism part didn't really get rolling until waves of foreigners started arriving - irish, italians, chinese labor for the transcontinental railway, hispanic migrants. Black americans always got their share of abuse, even after embracing capitalism and christianity.
