Many of us will have realised that racism in the United States is much worse than it is here, not that idiots like Femi and the Tottenham Turnip would accept that. Much has been written about the Jim Crow laws that were essentially an American version of Apartheid. The covering up of the Democrats part in all this has been a bloody miracle. The Republicans still get the blame. It all stems from LBJ in 1965 enacting laws that he claimed would keep the N-words voting Democrat for the next 200 years. Can the dark people really be that dim, it seems they can and many still are.
When the USA declared independence from us they already had slave states in the south. These states allowed slavery and it was almost exclusively Africans that were slaves. We eventually reach the American Civil War. This is often claimed to be about emancipating the slaves but that was really a by product. The real scrap was about whether a state could be allowed to secede from the Union.
The war was won by a Republican President, Abraham Lincoln. The Southern states were generally run by the Democrats. The victors imposed the Union Army on the south to emancipate the slaves. Once their job was done they withdrew and the Democrats set about their old tricks and one way or another created something like Apartheid in South Africa even to the extent of using basically the same justifications for their actions. To this day you can easily find tweets that want to reintroduce all this.
Anyone reading the Declaration of Independence will quickly read the “all men are created equal” statement and whether you like it or not, Africans are included in that definition of men. Whites mating with blacks produces babies and they are not sterile like mules. We are the same race.
So what happened after the initial euphoria at the end of the Civil War. This period was known as the Reconstruction Era. This was when the Yankee carpetbaggers went to the south and essentially ripped them off. In some places the whites were disenfranchised and the blacks were running things, imagine how that turned out.
Beginning in the 1870s state and local laws were enacted that were known under the collective name of the Jim Crow Laws. These laws were almost identical to the Apartheid laws enacted in South Africa. They were exclusively created by Democrats and ended up with African Americans being second class citizens. Even the Supreme Court up held these laws. This was also the time when the paramilitary wing of the Democrat Party was formed and it called itself the Ku Klux Klan. These laws lasted until 1965 and the anti-miscegenation laws until 1967 when they were overturned in the case of Loving v Virginia.
By 1900 more than 20 black Republican Senators had served in Congress. The Democrats did not elect a black Representative until 1935. While the Democrats were creating the KKK, the Republicans were electing black Congressmen.
Woodrow Wilson, a Democrat, re-enacted many segregation laws across many Federal Agencies. Democrat FDR refused to meet Jesse Owens who was a committed Republican. Adolf Hitler did greet Jesse in Berlin, this story has been turned on its head by the left. FDR also interned 120k Japanese Americans but then again, we interned all Germans including Jews. Democrats called white Republicans radicals and lynched them along with the blacks. How times change
In terms of community leaders we have two grifters, Al Sharpton who deffo needs a hard drive check and Jessie Jackson. Both of these are basically race baiters and a very good living they have both derived from it. Their messages do nothing to ease racial tensions, rather the opposite.
Since LBJ introduced the Welfare State in the mid sixties, the Democrats have claimed to be the party that supports the blacks while the Republicans are a bunch of racists. History disproves this. The Jim Crow laws ran for nearly a century, they were introduced by Democrats and enforced by Democrats. Today the sanctimonious Democrats would you have believe that all this was done by the Republicans. It is now sixty years since LBJ changed everything and the Democrats have been whitewashing over their history ever since. To the extent now that the Republicans get the blame for everything the Democrats did between 1870 and 1965.
The Republican Party was formed to oppose the Kansas-Nebraska Act which attempted to introduce slavery to American Territories, These Territories are now States but back then they were just Territories. During the Civil War Abraham Lincoln introduced the Emancipation Proclamation which freed black people during the civil war. Although the Civil War resulted in slaves being freed I want to emphasise that was not the cause of the War. It was purely about whether a state could secede from the Union, That the Yankee side won means that to this day, no state is allowed to secede from the Union though some argue otherwise. There is always a claim that Texas is different and is allowed to secede but it has yet to be tried.
I have been of the opinion throughout most of my life that we are much more tolerant than the Americans. This tolerance has been tested to the limit by the number of invaders who turn up on our shores and are treated like royalty in some ways. The gummint really needs to get a grip on this or we will head down the same road as the septics.
