That is an ignorant statement. Jim Crow was a huge improvement over slavery. Blacks had the freedom to travel, the freedom to pick their own careers, the freedom to own land, free speech, freedom from arbitrary punishment, freedom to be educated, hundreds of thousands of blacks moved to the northern cities and vastly improved their lives becoming middle and even upper class. There has been a constant improvement in the lives of blacks since 1865 and only someone as racist and bigoted as you refuses to see it. Was Jim Crow perfect? Of course not, hatreds die hard. Is today's society perfect? Of course not, there are still bigots on both sides of the color divide. But things are getting better every year despite the actions of blacks like you and whites like the KKK. You want perfection right now; it's not going to happen, and your hateful rhetoric impedes progress and prolongs the bigotry. If history has shown us anything, it's that hate begets hate.
