Wait until the New Deal romanticizers learn that the New Dealers were a fat stack of Yale/Harvard econ guys who poured enormous intellectual effort into a data based recovery program that adjusted over time in response to legal and political pressures.

FDR (and to a lesser extent LBJ) were the ones that convinced black voters to be democrats and move away from the party of Lincoln. There was racism in the new deal but it (and the great society) were successes that helped black americans.

Neoliberalism is all about the futility of government interventions so critiques of governmental interventions as racist (even when there is some truth in the critiques) feed this narrative of futility. Fixing and making more generous the welfare state is 100% doable and popular

I am a New Dealer. Without it, I would not have been born. The Depression hit my maternal grand parents hard. I will always mythologize Social Security and the WPA and I still get excited to see CCC structures in the National Parks.
