The expansion of our individual rights, the ongoing improvement of "our human condition."

Each and every one of us has an intrinsic value - not determined by the state or a corporation.

The Dixiecrats and other bigots really hated Truman for doing this. It's very interesting seeing their arguments against integration back then: it would be demoralizing to troops, disruptive to missions, weakens our military, costs too much, America isn't ready, bigger problems to deal with, black people have different health care needs, etc.

It disrespects the deeply held beliefs of racist assholes.

It's the same arguments used now.

The only difference was some idiotic nazi bs like black people have poor night vision or some such nonsense. Or that the enemy would infiltrate their spies pretending to be Minority-Americans.

Maybe ISIS is sending over transgender double agents?
