Minimum wage is not listed in the powers enumerated to the congress. Some would argue that prevents Congress from passing any law on those issues at all per the 10th amendment. I'm not sure I necessarily buy that, but I do think that most states, even the red ones can be trusted to pass a minimum wage law--since just about everyone supports raising it from time to time.

The most segregated cities at the time period indicated, and even today, are New York City, Chicago, Boston and Los Angeles. Tell me which red states are those cities located in?

For all the noise about how bad the South was during the Civil Rights Era, the North is the one that had the Race Riots, the Black Panthers and all other manner of problems and violence.
