Social Security was written to deliberately exclude the fields millions of Black people worked in at the time. Medicare not being racialized was part of what made it so difficult to pass.
Yep. Yet I still got "This is How We Do It", which I think shows the spread between "really popular" and "it's goddammed everywhere make it stop already".
See, I know "This is How We Do It" but had never heard this before. Yes, seriously. That wouldn't be unusual except for the fact that mid-90s was my peak radio-listening time.
So wait, it wasn't in his personal file but it was in a general chex offenders registry?
I don't think this guy came from a crazy conservative background, though.

Why do I suspect that yesterday morning you would have said "Cavs in 6"?

Hey now, don't let too many others muscle in on this gig.
Free food - the best kind of food.
To be fair, I've known white folks whose skin changes that much after repeated tanning - had one guy go from fairly pale to darker than his Indian friend after a summer as a lifeguard.
