Woodrow Wilson was hot trash, my friends.

Wilson's personal racism was a real thing. His success at pushing through major progressive reforms like the Estate & Income Taxes, anti-trust regulations & pro-labor policies were real, too.

I'm leery of certain people on the right, who are more interested in discrediting Wilson's progressivism, than confronting the pervasive racism in America at the time.

W.w was a POS. Got us in WW1, which we had no business in, set the stage for ww2 and gave us the federal reserve.

This is exactly what I mean. These things are not connected to the racism Jane Coaston was talking about. Also, blaming Wilson for WW2 is a wild stretch.

The idea that early 20th c. progressiveness is somehow disconnected from white supremacy is part of America’s problem of not coming to terms with our history of white supremacy. It’s always something that belongs to the other side

Because 20th Century conservatism supported getting rid of Jim Crow & passing Civil Rights? Nope, that ain't it.

So... Woodrow Wilson wasn’t a white supremacist because... conservatives are bad? Seems reasonable
