The Lily white movement

[IM2]

The lily-white movement was an anti-civil-rights movement within the Republican Party in the United States in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The movement was a response to the political and socioeconomic gains made by African-Americans following the Civil War and the Thirteenth Amendment to the Constitution, which eliminated slavery. Black leaders gained increasing influence in the party by organizing blacks as an important voting bloc. Conservative white groups attempted to eliminate this influence and recover white voters who had defected to the Democratic Party.

The term lily-white movement is generally attributed to Texas Republican leader Norris Wright Cuney who used the term in an 1888 Republican convention to describe efforts by white conservatives to oust blacks from positions of Texas party leadership and incite riots to divide the party. The term came to be used nationally to describe this ongoing movement as it further developed in the early 20th century. Localized movements began immediately after the war but by the beginning of the 20th century the effort had become national.

According to author and professor Michael K. Fauntroy,

The lily white movement is one of the darkest and underexamined eras of US Republicanism.

—Michael K. Fauntroy, The Huffington Post
This movement is largely credited with driving blacks out of the Republican party during the early 20th century, setting the stage for their eventual support of the Democrats.

You republicans have lied long enough. You might be the party of Lincoln but then again here's Lincoln:

Doesn't stop people from equating the Dems with the KKK. Hypocrisy much?

Taken as a whole, Blacks STILL aren't the intellectual equals to Asians and Whites, which is why they are STILL politically and socially not at the same level as Whites in the US and elsewhere. Need an example? Africa, whose countries are politically and socially below the level of Whites and Asians.

We should be judged as individuals. Since you apparently don't think so, it calls into question your intelligence.

It's a thread about groups, not individuals. Now go change your diaper.

Lincoln's greatest achievement was halted by a southern Democrat. Had he not been assasinated; the US today would be a far better place...

Even when handed the reigns of a first world nation... They drove South Africa into third world status, in 3 years. Three. Fucking. Years...

ummmm this is 2017, not 1865

How would they know? They're still fighting the civil war.

 

[beagle9]

ummmm this is 2017, not 1865

. This IM2 wishes it was 1865, because in his mind he's still fighting in the civil war. Now why does he do this one wonders ? It's because he wants power, fame, and wealth instead of being an average citizen with every other average citizen be it black or white in this country. Many angles people use to gain easy money and power these day's, and the past is being used by people like him to do just that, and he's trying to use it on the members here as a trial run to see if he's good at it or not. I think he's got a long way to go. LOL

. Kidding me right ? He must have the mindset of that female Rachel Dolzal that wanted to be black, so she changed her color to become the leader of an NAACP chapter.

It's a thread about groups, not individuals. Now go change your diaper.

Not much for PERSONAL responsibility, are you? BTW, the group in question was Republicans and how they conspired to oust blacks from places in the party and government.

Lincoln's greatest achievement was halted by a southern Democrat. Had he not been assassinated; the US today would be a far better place.

Lincoln's achievement was substantially halted by the corrupt bargain the Republicans made in order to win the election of 1876. Can't pin it all on the Dems. Except for the Cleveland's two terms they held the presidency from 1869 to 1912 and did nothing to end Jim Crow.

OK, you're NOT the OP, so your comment is a lie and irrelevant. I'll say what I please.

So then you don't dispute what I actually said. Good for you.

Politically and socially all peoples must be like you?
What politics must they adopt? Socially, what must they be like?
