PBS unbiased enough for for you. Note the part about the Democratic Party being the "White Man's Party." The Rise and Fall of Jim Crow. Jim Crow Stories . Democratic Party | PBS

Rep Power: 181 | | | For the record, I understand what the Democrats did in the South to prevent Blacks who supported Republicans to vote.
Like for example, MLK was a Republican. The people who MLK fought during the Civil Rights Movements were Democrats.
However, to sit there and say that it was all Democrats were racist is being plain ignorant.

I said ALL, you said Majority. Big difference. We're both right, so there's no need to try and act smug.

All the Jim Crow stuff was a dark mark on both this country and the Democratic party forever.
However, the same sort of tactics are being used today. Except by the GOP.
It's like Bizarro world the way the South has gone with Race and Political Parties.

My mistake if you didn't mean that.
Look at my post above though.

It's like Bizarro world the way the South has gone with Race and Political Parties. How is the GOP emplying these tactics? By ensuring that voting laws are followed? Why do you think they have to do that. If you don't know go to Chicago and ask.

However, if you look at all the links, it explains how it's preventing people from voting.
It will make sure supposedly that some people can't vote more then once, but plenty of innocent people will be unable to vote.

It will make sure supposedly that some people can't vote more then once, but plenty of innocent people will be unable to vote. Then those people have 60 days to establish voting credentials. That is more than enough time.
