That's incorrect. The majority of SCOTUS justices voting in the affirmative for separate but equal were Republican. But like pknopp said, todays Republican Party is responsible for trying to go back to Jim Crow.It's a fact of Life.. they wrote them, they enforced them and they loved them..
Now they're to chickenshit to admit it..

"The Democratic Party played a central role in creating and implementing Jim Crow laws in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. These were state and local statutes that enforced racial segregation and disenfranchised Black Americans, primarily in the Southern United States, following the end of Reconstruction.
Historical Context
After the Civil War (1861–1865) and during the Reconstruction era (1865–1877), federal policies aimed to protect the civil rights of newly freed Black people, including voting rights and integration. However, as federal troops withdrew from the South—accelerated by the Compromise of 1877—white Southern Democrats, often referred to as "Redeemers," regained control of state legislatures through a combination of violence, voter intimidation, and electoral fraud. Paramilitary groups like the Ku Klux Klan, White League, and Red Shirts, aligned with Democratic interests, suppressed Black voters and Republican opposition.Once in power, these Democratic-led governments passed Jim Crow laws starting in the 1870s and 1880s, mandating separation in public facilities, schools, transportation, and more. The term "Jim Crow" originated from earlier minstrel shows but became synonymous with this system of legalized discrimination. The U.S. Supreme Court's 1896 decision in Plessy v. Ferguson upheld these laws under the "separate but equal" doctrine, further entrenching them.
The Democratic Party in the South positioned itself as the defender of white supremacy, while the Republican Party was associated with abolition and civil rights. Northern Democrats often did not challenge Southern policies, allowing the party's Southern bloc to dominate and block anti-lynching and civil rights legislation in Congress for decades."

How is that supposed to deny black people from voting? I seem to remember a certain primary election in 2024, where a certain party dumped 14 million Democrat's votes in the sewer, because that certain party didn't believe Democrats were smart enough to elect their own presidential candidate.
How was that any different from the way the Democrat Party operated in the late 19th and early 20th century?

By requiring a photo ID to register and vote? You probably believe that black folks are too poor or too stupid to know how to obtain a photo ID card, right?
Your soft bigotry of low expectations is duly noticed, racist bigot.
That's some real bullshit right there.

The bullshit is that Democrats are opposed to the idea of requiring a valid photo ID in order to vote, and somehow equate that with "Jim Crow Laws."
Meanwhile, much of the rest of the world disagrees with them...

You believe proving your citizenship when you register to vote is akin to a Jim Crow law? How's that?
They're such total frauds.

So what has you upset today?
Why Saying “Democrats Started Jim Crow” Misses the Point
1. Political parties didn’t always stand for the same things.In the 1800s and early 1900s, the Democratic Party was the one supported by most white Southerners—especially those who wanted to keep Black Americans from having rights. The Republican Party was actually the party of Abraham Lincoln and abolition. Lincoln ended slavery so it stands to reason that most people of African descent originally voted Republican.
2. Yes, Southern Democrats passed Jim Crow laws. That part is true.
Jim Crow laws forced segregation and blocked Black people from voting. The people who passed those laws were mostly white Southern Democrats at the time.
3. But around the 1940s–1960s, the parties started to switch.
As Democrats in the North began supporting civil rights, and Southern Democrats like Lyndon B. Johnson pushed through the Civil Rights Act and Voting Rights Act, many racist white voters left the Democratic Party.
4. Those voters moved to the Republican Party.
Over the next few decades, Southern states flipped. The Republican Party welcomed many of the voters who had once been “Dixiecrats” (Southern segregationist Democrats).
5. Today’s Democratic Party is not the party of Jim Crow.
The people, policies, and priorities are different. Saying “Democrats started Jim Crow” without this context is like quoting a 100-year-old newspaper and pretending it reflects today’s headlines.
In other words, just in case you missed it, the kind of people who instituted Jim Crow and the Black Codes as Democrats switched parties and fight for the same things as before, against equal rights for Black people, except now they do it as Republicans.
As they say, an elephant can’t change its spots—
but it can try to camouflage its nature by becoming an ass.
Wait… I mean a donkey.
Sorry—leopard. I meant switching political parties...

The old "liberal switcheroo" never happened. It's about as phony as men becoming women.

Who owns those 'Black Codes' in the Northern states before the war? States like Connecticut, Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, and New York?
The picture is getting clearer. The North's problem with slavery, save for a few insane abolitionist's, was not so much against 'slavery', as it was against blacks.
The North was willing to endure slavery by the Missouri Compromise because it kept the blacks down South. They were willing to endure the 'Underground Railroad' because it sent the blacks to Canada. Make sure you don't stop off in any of those northern states with black codes.
Those Northern Black Codes were the Yankee Jim Crow laws, passed long before the South passed any Jim Crow laws.
