During the "Good Ole Days", many people of all colors were happy and living the American Dream. Except for those that were harassed by the Democrats.

Black Wall Street

The best description of Black Wallstreet, or Little Africa as it was also known, would be liken it to a mini-Beverly Hills. It was the golden door of the Black community during the early 1900s, and it proved that African Americans had successful infrastructure. That's what Black Wallstreet was all about.
The dollar circulated 36 to 100 times, sometimes taking a year for currency to leave the community. Now in 1995, a dollar leaves the Black community in 15-minutes. As far as resources, there were Ph.D.'s residing in Little Africa, Black attorneys and doctors. One doctor was Dr. Berry who owned the bus system. His average income was $500 a day, a hefty pocket change in 1910.
During that era, physicians owned medical schools. There were also pawn shops everywhere, brothels, jewelry stores, 21 churches, 21 restaurants and two movie theaters. It was a time when the entire state of Oklahoma had only two airports, yet six Blacks owned their own planes. It was a very fascinating community.

On Black Wallstreet, a lot of global business was conducted. The community flourished from the early 1900s until June 1, 1921. That's when the largest massacre of non-military Americans in the history of this country took place, and it was lead by the Ku Klux Klan. Imagine walking out of your front door and seeing 1,500 homes being burned.

Here Are Just 10 of the Many Minority-Owned Businesses Destroyed in the Riots | Brad Polumbo

amed free-market economist Thomas Sowell once said that property rights “belong legally to individuals, but their real function is social, to benefit vast numbers of people who do not themselves exercise these rights.” Nobel laureate economist and philosopher Friedrich Hayek made a similar point, remarking that “The system of private property is the most important guarantee of freedom, not only for those who own property, but scarcely less for those who do not.”

When property rights are insecure or routinely violated—widespread looting and arson are prime examples—the very foundation of a community’s economy is undermined. Investors understandably balk at the uncertainty and forego investing there, while entrepreneurs cannot launch new enterprises or even continue current ones without the knowledge that they will be secure in their property. As a result, job opportunities and income streams dry up. This is why securing property rights is perhaps the government’s most basic function and responsibility.

Nothing has changed with the Democrat party, they must subjugate blacks and other minorities to keep them on the dole, not self sufficient because those that do become happy and prosperous, dont need an overbearing government to take care of them. Every time the blacks get set to have the American dream, the Democrats rise up and burn the system down.

The Democrats??? Laughable. Why don't you say "Every time the blacks get set to have the American dream, White Christian Conservatives rise up and burn the system down". That is at least as accurate.

Being the utter dunce that he is, the OP fails to understand that the group he's talking about were the conservatives of their time.

The more self-professed Christian they were, the more racist and bigoted they were.

No different than today.

The DemoKKKrat party is the most racist organization in the history of America.

 

[BULLDOG]

Sure, a very large part of the population was very happy to not be allowed to use most water fountains, or enter most nice restaurants. Sitting on the back of the bus because everyone thought you were less human was lots of fun. Nobody would ever bother to want equal rights unless those mean old Democrats convinced them they had equal rights.

The DemoKKKrat party is the most racist organization in the history of America.

It was Southerners that were the most racist group in the history of America. They were disavowed by the majority of Democrats during the Civil Rights era.

Yep....after the 1964 Civil RIghts Act signed by a Democrat President, the White Christian Con-servatives bailed to the GOP.

Your math skills need some work. The numbers below are for those who voted against the Civil Rights Act of 1964:

Southern Democrats: 91%​

Southern Republicans: 100%​

You're being rude here. People are busy rewriting history to suit their ideology and you are interfering with actual facts.

I didn't vote for him. What's your point? (tho that certainly would attract Republicans.)

 

[Pellinore]

Anyone who thinks that the Democratic Party of 1921 has the same ideals as the Democratic Party of 2023, simply does not know how political parties work.

 

[Mushroom]

The Democrats??? Laughable. Why don't you say "Every time the blacks get set to have the American dream, White Christian Conservatives rise up and burn the system down".

And until the late 1960s, which party was the party of "White Christian Conservatives"?

Big hint, it was not the Republicans.

 

[Mushroom]

The more self-professed Christian they were, the more racist and bigoted they were.

And the irony of that statement is that it is extremely bigoted.

Maybe you should ponder this. The most active and well known leader of the movement was a Baptist minister. I guess that means he was a bigot also.
