Actually the Democrats enacted laws saying mulattos and anyone with any African ancestry was black and second class citizen without full rights and all people, including whites, had to comply by force of law.
It was another big government operation.
True Democrats in Federal law and State law even in Local statutes..
ARE POISONOUS... Toxic.. stupid and moronic..
BUT on most days are also treasonous..
That said; John Boehner and Mitch McConnell... ARE WORSE..
AND on a future day of justice WILL BE HUNG..
