we liven in a post racial society? really? funny... that doesn't seem to be the case when white supremacists march for the right to have statues to people who committed treason for the right to continue to own other human beings.
and when we have people on this board... in this day and age demanding we return to Jim Crow.
Do you have a credible reference for that?
Here is a confirmed "Uncle Tom" who parrots every sentiment that the average caucasion person does on this board. He is very popular with white nationalsts..
Jesse Lee Peterson Claims African Americans Were āBetter Offā Under Jim Crow | Right Wing Watch
to be fair, there are a lot of people who think that under Jim Crow, black people essentially had their own economy... their own businesses... their own banking system and that those things were lost when they were subsumed into white society.
Are they in part, correct? I don't know. It isn't my life experience to comment on.
Partially they are correct, but the fact is that during Jim Crow, there was separatism, but not EQUAL separatism.
The story in the link I posted quoted Petersen as stating:
"During Jim Crow, the black population was better off, because they did not have hatred in their hearts".
Speaking from experience, the black people who lived under that system were in fact very angry over the inequality of what was law during that era.
Were you there? What year were you born?
It doesn't matter.
