Probably. During the Great Depression, America was still segregated, and when jobs did become available, white people got first preference-- unless it was a menial, low-paying job that had historically gone to blacks, such as janitorial work. Some of the government programs during the Depression certainly helped white people more than black people, and in fact, some programs even excluded black people from applying. A number of advocates for black organizations protested to the Roosevelt administration, and by the mid-1930s, there were a few more programs that accepted blacks; throughout the rest of the decade, the number continued to slowly increase. But compared to what was available for white workers, blacks still found their opportunities limited.

Does Talking about depression only make it worse?

Sometimes it does make it worse, but it depends on the person, and what about depression you are talking about. If you are talking about things to make it better, to just to vent, it could be a good thing. But if you are talking about suicide and sadder things, it could make the person experiencing depression, to go to the lowest level of depression a person could go into, and that would make it very worse.
