If No One Today Owned Slaves...

[IM2]

Republicans were complicit in slavery and Jim Crow. It was a Democrat that ended Jim Crow and the very same year Johnson signed our second Emancipation Proclamation, Republicans nominated a presidential candidate that opposed the Civil Rights Act. Now is the time for you Republicans to STFU with your lies.

Lets never forget. Dems are the party of slavery and segregation.

What exactly has the GOP done "against blacks" in the last 30 years? Be specific and bring credible links to make your case.

I understand that the Alabama GOP is today trying to disenfranchise black voters with its corrupt gerrymandering exercise.

This in direct opposition to the Supreme court.

In Georgia Gov Kemp passed racist legisation to enable him tp remove recently elected DAs.

They are using this to persecute Fani Willis..

Of course I know very little about US racist politics.

Perhaps posters have other examples ?

Let's never forget the GOP is the party of MAGA. Enough written right there.

That was 170 years ago. Almost all whites were segregationists.

MAGA is alive today.

How Alabama is defying the supreme court to discriminate against Black voters

In June, the US supreme court upheld a decision ordering Alabama to redraw its congressional map – but state Republicans ignored the mandate

I understand perfectly.

deprive (someone) of the right to vote.
"the law disenfranchised some 3,000 voters on the basis of a residence qualification"

Where is your link showing that "the Alabama GOP is today trying to disenfranchise black voters with its corrupt gerrymandering exercise"?

Thanks for the link.
I noticed it didn't contain the word "disenfranchise".
Were you lying? Confused?

You must be pretty shocked to see this racist behaviour so long after Republicans fought to emancipate black people.

No, I'm not shocked to see racist leftist whining.

Didn't the US Supreme Court overrule this? Aren't they Republicans? I can assure you that a Democratic supreme court would NEVER break rank from the Democratic Party's wishes.

Redistricting experts said it was one of the most brazen acts of defiance of a federal court order they had ever seen.

“It’s so disingenuous,” said Jonathan Cervas, a professor at Carnegie Mellon University who specializes in redistricting. “It speaks of 1950s America and not 2023 America. And it gets me very heated.”

Alabama Republicans have come up with a smattering of rationales to try and justify their new map. In court filings, they argue that two counties along the Gulf coast, Mobile and Baldwin counties form a “community of interest” that must be kept together in any plan because they share economic, tourism and transportation interests, among others.

Demographically, the counties are very different – Mobile county is 37% Black while Baldwin county is 8.4% Black and 85% white. Cervas said the state’s justification for keeping the two counties together was pretextual.

Pretty much depraved behaviour.

/——/ Horseshyt. Stop trying to rewrite history. Republicans broke the democRATs filibuster to pass the CRA and VRA led by Al Gore’s daddy.
Goldwater’s position was we didn’t need a special law for Blacks because every American was already protected by the Constitution. But, I’m guessing you already knew that.

And the GOP are ignoring the court.
