Zone1 Let's Discuss the word "Plantation"

[Delldude]

Why do whites like you invent definitions of racism?

In actuality it was racist southern dem's. Most Northern dem's held similar views toward southern blacks. Dem's controlled the south pretty much until the 60's. In fact civil rights legislation was heavily filibuster by the dem party, it took republican votes to pass it into law. God bless those white supremacists.

Clarence Thomas is another sellout.

LOL..........dude you are so predictable.

There is no democratic plantation.

By soliciting support and votes through entitlements, the democrat plantation came into being.....and after exploitation of the blacks, dems found a new face in town.......Latino's. For some reason, Latino's caught on to being exploited sooner, rather than later.
No worry.....we got some 15 million new faces to buy for votes now.

Republicans participated in Jim Crow.

Republicans had established a bi-racial coalition which helped many blacks into state and local offices. It wasn't republican governors who stood in the doors of schools preventing black children from entering. It wasn't republican governors who had state police beat on blacks and sick K9's on them.

Tell me, why do I like Michael Steele who is a black republican and never call him a bootlicker but I say that about Vernon Jones?

Steele doesn't care for Trump....

The Republicans in the North were racists also.

Members of today’s Republican Party tell a tale about republican support for the Civil Rights and Voting Rights act. They spin a fabulous story about a democratic filibuster and will say that by percentage more democrats opposed these bills than republicans.

As it pertains to the Civil Rights Act, 153 democrats and 139 republicans voted in favor of the legislation in the house. In the senate, forty-six democrats and twenty-seven republicans voted for the Civil Rights Act. In the house, 221 democrats voted for the Voting Rights Act, and 112 republicans did. In the senate, forty-seven democrats voted for the Voting Rights Act, and thirty republicans did.

Republican votes alone would not have passed any of these laws and more Democrats voted for them than did Republicans.It's time Republicans stopped lying about their party as it is constituted today.

On December 6, 2019, The House of Representatives passed H.R. 4, the Voting Rights Advancement Act of 2019, by a vote of 228-186. This bill was proposed to undo the damage caused by the Roberts Supreme Court 2013 decision. There were 187 Republicans in the House of Representatives in 2019. One Republican voted for this bill, Brian Fitzpatrick from Pennsylvania. In 2021, The John Lewis Voting Rights Act was opposed by every Republican in the senate. Senate Republicans wouldn’t even let the bill come to the floor for debate. They filibustered the John Lewis Voting Rights Act like Dixiecrats did the Voting Rights Actin 1965.

Josh Israel, Every Senate Republican just voted against voting rights — again, American Independent, January 20, 2022,

Every Senate Republican just voted against voting rights — again

Thanks to the filibuster rule, the GOP minority was able to block the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement and the Freedom to Vote Acts.

And what do you call the New Deal, Servicemens Readjustment Act and other government programs and policies that excluded blacks? Were they not enttlements for white votes? Democrats have not exploited us but you republicans are trying to by using the tactic you are using here by lying about your party's history on race.

Republicans had established a bi-racial coalition which helped many blacks into state and local offices. It wasn't republican governors who stood in the doors of schools preventing black children from entering. It wasn't republican governors who had state police beat on blacks and sick K9's on them.

Again, I know the history. Republicans did none of what you are claiming and Jim Crow existed in the north. There were race riots in the north by whites. And Boston was definetly not in the south.

Jim Crow in the North

A new history examines the struggle to integrate above the Mason-Dixon Line.

When you hear the word plantation, what does it mean to you?
What images come to mind?
Does the word have any racist connotation to you?

I've seen several people on the forum use plantation in very racist ways. Maybe they think people don't notice it or that they think they're being cute or maybe they're going for brownie points and high fives from the racists that frequent this part of the forum. Whatever their reason, I seriously doubt they realize how uneducated and ignorant they make themselves out to be.

Here are some commonly used terms that actually have racist origins

The aftermath of George Floyd’s death has sparked a cultural awakening around the nation along with re-examining the use of commonly used words and phrases.

Clarence Thomas is another sellout. Burt sonce he tries to kill anything thst helps blacks, you love him.

Say it...We all know you want to....Why has such a bomb-throwing alligator mouth gone so bashful on us all of a sudden?

 

[Delldude]

The Republicans in the North were racists also.

Maybe....but the brunt of anti-black racism came from within the democrat party, both north and south.

No, it was bipartsan. That's why blacks left the Republican Party.

The New York Times is a very poor source for information, even less so behind a paywall. Are you actually paying to read the New York Times or are you doing a google search to try and confirm a political opinion not based on fact.

No offense, but using information behind a paywall makes it look like you have no idea what you are talking about and may be parroting something you heard that you obviously can not articulate.

When I hear the word PLANTation, the immediate obvious comes to my logical, common sense mind. Somebody PLANTED something.

Racism, just about ceased to exist in the USA in the 1970's. Certainly pockets of racism, existed. But it was gone from mainstream USA.

Now, to stay in power, to keep African Americans inline, Democrats and the Democrat controlled schools, news media, and politicians, all go to extreme bounds to attach racism to things where there is none.

Plantation, another part of our history the Democrats wish to destroy, so they can say, "Look, we are protecting you ignorant heathens".

After all these years, Democrats still work hard, to be the Masters of the Slaves.

That's why blacks left the Republican Party.

Every southern black republican left to go back to the democrats?

You do know US Grant won the presidential election due to 700,000 black votes don't you?
