Wasn’t the whole Jim Crow thing a Democrat thing at the time?
Yes. The GOP briefly flirted with segregationalists in the South during the civil rights era, and although it quickly rejected them afterwards, this is the reason that black politics gives for not embracing the GOP. Forget every doggone thing that happened, or at least was tried, by the GOP from Abraham Lincoln till now... oh, no!
Well, we know the Democrats didn't want to free the slaves. The KKK was just an arm of the DEM party. Pretty much every racist event is caused by DEMS. Take the ZIMMERMAN/MARTIN incident.
YES! Democrats are the ones who instituted JIM CROW laws!!! But, the plantation holders don’t want their slaves to know the truth.
