  1. If they actually believed a word of this shit then they would try to Jim Crow themselves.

  2. The only difference between a Republican or MAGA and the KKK is that there is no difference. They are exactly the same.

  4. > “You see, during Jim Crow, the Black family was together,”

    The irony.

    Yeah, you definitely would be at home with your family and not mc’ing klan rallies, fool.

  9. Tell that to the people of Black Wall Street in Tulsa c.1921.

  11. there will always be a black guy simping for the racists because that job always pays. “Screw everyone else, im getting my paycheck”

  13. “Sundown towns helped get families together in their home by nightfall too”

  14. Why is it always the reactions to the story that are reported? Why can’t we see endless articles about the action and statement? The reaction *isn’t* the story. The headline should be: *CONSERVATIVES PLAN TO REINTRODUCE JIM CROW LAWS!* And it should be reported over and over again until everyone is fully aware.

  15. > “During Jim Crow, more Black people were not just conservative — Black people have always been conservative-minded — but more Black people voted conservatively. And then H.E.W., Lyndon Johnson — you go down that road, and now we are where we are.”

    What on earth? This makes no sense unless there’s another definition of “conservative” that he’s using

  16. I used to ride around Louisiana with a marketing rep in the 2010s. We ate lunch at a local catfish restaurant. She casually mentioned it was the first time she ever walked through the front door. As a kid she ate there, but they only allowed black people to order takeout from a window in the back. Black people were not allowed inside the restaurant. 

    She’s not even that old. At the time — in the 2010s — she was in her 50s.

    I cannot pretend to understand the oppression and bigotry faced by black Americans during Jim Crow. But we are talking about a legal framework that made equal participation in society an impossibility and formalized oppression and discrimination. 

  19. Can we please all make sure to get out the vote for Joe Biden, MASSIVELY, so this orange shit gibbon never gets near the White House ever again?

  21. I believe it should be mandatory to have a person at every political gathering to act as a fact referee as it were. When someone spouts this garbage, this person can loudly take over the mics and throw a flag and set the record straight.

    I feel it’s needed since reporters can’t seem to ask these people the hard hitting questions. Like “Oh really? And we need to segregate water fountains, entrances to buildings, make it legal to lynch black people? All that JUST to force a “traditional” family unit?”

    I mean that is the story for me right now. Yea fuck this guy, but why are the press not asking him “what the hell are you talking about?!” “Do you know what Jim Crow is?!”

  22. Not all skin folk are kinfolk, and this ones definitely not kin

  23. I feel like the audacity of the lies coming from everyone on the Right has skyrocketed. They’re damn near saying the sky is green with a straight face and expecting us all to swallow it. 

  24. These lunatics are going to try to bring back slavery. There is no limit to their barbarism.
