A century ago today our first ]"Progressive" President segregated the Federal government, firing blacks by the drove. Our current Progressives run the most racialist administration since....well since the first Progressive Administration - different winners and losers, the same obscene racist impulse. When you worship the state you use it to discriminate in ways that are useful to you or please you. Only a minimalist state can minimize prejudice. Markets can't afford to be prejudiced.

PROGRESSIVE RACISM: On this day in 1913, Democratic President Woodrow Wilson segregated the Civil Service. “Prior to the segregation of the civil service in 1913, appointments had been made solely on merit as indicated by the candidate’s performance on the civil-service examination. Thereafter, racial discrimination became the norm. Photographs came to be required at the time of application, and African-Americans knew they would not be hired. The existing work force was segregated. Many African-Americans were dismissed.”
