Representative James Clyburn (D-SC) claimed Friday on CNN’s “Inside Politics” that the country was in danger of Jim Crow laws returning because voters did not prioritize democracy.
Host Dana Bash said, “I want to switch gears to something that former President Obama said. He made I believe his first comments since the election. He said this last night. I want you to take a listen.”
Thursday in Chicago, former President Barack Obama said, “Talk of bridging our differences when the country and the world seemed so bitterly divided felt like an academic exercise, it felt farfetched, even naive. Especially since as far as they were concerned, the election proved that democracies pretty far down on people’s priority list.”
Bash said, “What do you make of the former president’s comments?”
Clyburn said, “Well, I think they ring true. Not that they should be true but they have demonstrated that that is the case. I you know, you know me very well, and you know that I spent a lot of time studying history. I’ve talked about this election, even going in the run up to the election from a historical standpoint. I seem to remember, as we were celebrating the 100th anniversary of this country’s existence, we had a presidential election in 1876 and you see what happened to democracy in that election, it led to Jim Crow. I’m the ninth African-American to serve in Congress from South Carolina the problem is that 95 years between number eight and number nine because democracy was driven so far down on people’s lists back in 1876. There’s a danger of that happening again.”

Hat-tip to another FReeper for posting that, I wish I could remember who.
In what big or medium sized city (even a lot of small ones) would this ever happen? They’re all run by Democrats.
Well, duh. DemonicRATS created Jim Crow laws, so as long as there are demonicRATS, there will be the possibility of Jim Crow laws returning.
What is this ‘democracy’ thing they all keep harping on?
Clyburn is one of the biggest race hustlers ever to come down the pike, which is saying a lot.
Clyburn is a damn fool. A majority of American people have awakened to their “Chicken Little” routine and ain’t buying it any more.
We have to keep Jim Snow to prevent Jim Crow. F these black supremacists.
Clyburn finds old Jim Crow card in attic chest replay in action.
Living rent free in the empty noggins of the left. NOT tired of winning yet!
Um - Jim Crow laws are “illegal” now.
How is voting going to change that?
With the Gaystapo around, it could be Jim Bl... never mind.
Ship to his beloved China, stinking traitor.
Jim Crow was a Democrat thing. So yes
Jim Crow laws were initiated and governed by RACIST DEMOCRATS, stupid. Look in the mirror for that problem.
Clyburn makes Jim Crow come to life.
The only times and places where “Jim Crow’ policies happen...
is when dumb people like Clyburn make Jim Crow alive and abundant. Jim Crow doesn’t happen with republicans,and is always present when democrats make it happen. Accusing others of what they do is precisely why Jim Crow voting still occurs.
Black leaders are the biggest reason that blacks remain ‘second class’ citizens. Get rid of the Cyburns, and blacks can become a lot more successful and less dependent on government.
Democrats coming back into power?
“I spent a lot of time studying history.”
For the next hundred years, the dems had the ‘Solid South’. Most of the votes against the Civil Rights Acts that ended dem rule came from democrats, your party Mr Clyburn, not mine.
I din’t watch the interview, did Dana Bash point these facts out to Rep. Clyburn?
Clyburn: All you negroes better get back on the DemonCrat Plantation !!
