During the Great Depression, was life better or worse for African Americans than it was for the lower class?

During the Great Depression, life was worse for African American than it was for the lower class.

Explanation:

The Great Depression was the worst economic downturn in the history of the United States. Its start was signaled by the stock market crash that led to a panicked selling of assets. Followed by deflation in commodity and asset prices and a lowering in demand and credit, it generated a process that resulted in severe unemployment (13 million people by 1932). For African Americans, that time was even harder than it was for white people. They were the first ones to lose their jobs - and at a higher rate, due to pervasive racism -, and received less aid from public assistance programs than white people did. As a matter of fact, even some charitable organizations would not serve African Americans in their soup kitchens.

trade regulation is a field of law, often bracketed with antitrust (as in the phrase “antitrust and trade regulation law”), including government regulation of unfair methods of competition and unfair or deceptive business acts or practices. antitrust law is often considered a subset of trade regulation law. franchise and distribution law, consumer protection law, and advertising law are sometimes considered parts of trade regulation law.

in general the theory of economics says that the more open to trade a country is the better   the result for the same country and the whole economies.

in real life countries impose taxes, quotas, etc which is not so good for the economies.

this kind of commercial war between the usa and china is slowing down the growth of the whole world so we can say that it is a draw back of trade regulations. and the free trade agreements are benefits of trade regulations.
