The Insidious Way Whites Have Been Racist While Not Mentioning Race

[jotathought]

My cause? No, get off your white ass and end white racism. It is YOUR cause. And until you do, you will be shown how whites have practiced racism and how they practice it in the same way today..

Yawn

Republicans back then were for reparations. So why is it that Democrats are the main ones trying to support reparations now?

/——/ Because back then the freed slaves and the slave owners were still alive. You had your victims and perpetrators readily available. Not so much today.
The democRATs are just pandering to the Black voter block offering money from people who never held slaves to people never held in slavery.
That’s why.

Yes Ted Cruz is indeed a racist.

Any thoughts on DEI hiring practices not hiring whites, the disabled, or certain religions?

Fighting racism is a noble cause IF you can recognize it.

IM2 sees racism where it is. You pretend there is no racism where there is.

Speaking of yourself in the third person doesn't make you sound intelligent; in fact, it does the opposite. You might as well use Yoda speak.

Jim Crow laws were racist laws, but, most of the laws that were part of Jim Crow did not expicitly mention race.

The Black Codes and Jim Crow Laws​

One of the first reactions against Reconstruction was to deprive African-American men of their voting rights. While the 14th and 15th Amendments prevented state legislatures from directly making it illegal to vote, they devised a number of indirect measures to disenfranchise Black men. The grandfather clause said that a man could only vote if his ancestor had been a voter before 1867—but the ancestors of most African-Americans citizens had been enslaved and constitutionally ineligible to vote. Another discriminatory tactic was the literacy test, applied by a white county clerk. These clerks gave Black voters extremely difficult legal documents to read as a test, while white men received an easy text.

The Black Codes and Jim Crow Laws

After the United States Civil War, state governments that had been part of the Confederacy tried to limit the voting rights of Black citizens and prevent contact between Black and white citizens in public places.

Like today, the language in many of the laws appear to be race neutral, but the application of the laws by whites who were in power was done in a manner that enforced racist beliefs.

Then there are the one who are blatantly racist: your fellow DemoKKKrats.

It's a shame that lock step black democrats swallow their pride while they allow plantation democrats to portray them as an inferior race that is unable to obtain something as basic as a photo I.D. in the 21st century.

Funny how you don't say shit about the thousands of anti black pure racist threads or posts in this forum.

Then feel free to take threads like this to those areas of the forums. This is about history, not pushing biased political garbage.
