It was basically the notion that all Americans should receive equal treatment. Truman noted in a speech to the NAACP that "Every man should have the right to a decent home, the right to an education, the right to adequate medical care, the right to a worthwhile job, the right to an equal share in the making of public decisions through the ballot, and the right to a fair trial in a fair court."

Both the Housing Act of 1949 and the Social Security Act of 1950 are considered to be part of the "Fair Deal" policy. The fact that Social Security is included indicates that while the Fair Deal was certainly intended to address racial inequalities, the concept went beyond race to include other disenfranchised people (the elderly, for example).
