Missed It By That Much
Just caught a minute of a kids' show on Amelia Earhardt on PBS where the young narrator noted that Eleanor Roosevelt once took a plane ride with Amelia and was so excited she wanted to get a pilot's license. But FDR vetoed it, claiming he couldn't afford to lose the First Lady in a plane crash. To think America could have been that close to shedding itself of one of its greatest embarrassments - now, we can only dream of what might have been.

Huh? What's so bad about Eleanor Roosevelt?
This is a paleo-conservative blog.
Does he have to start from square one?
she liked negros.
she liked negros.
Doubtful.
I do notice, however, that many liberals like to use "negros" as a reason for implementing all sorts of bad policies that will give them jobs and power for decades to come.
daveg - you got my back - thx dude.
As far as whether Eleanor did or did not 'like negros', if she did I'm sure it was from a safe distance or in a safe zone (like here servants). But however much she did like blacks, I'm sure that paled in comparison to how much she must have liked Amelia Earhardt.
Ziel:
Did the show specifically say that Eleanor flew with Amelia or that she "gave her a ride"?
With what we now know about both, I'm thinking the latter is more plausible.
