Is it true that African-Americans were treated as second-class citizens during the Jim Crow era of the South?

That was the point of Jim Crow.
You know, the whole segregation thing probably would have gone down a lot easier if they didn't insist on giving naggers the shittiest everything just for the sake of southerner egos.
Everyone was a second class citizen in the South. Certain are more likely to complain than others.
How do you these weren’t appropriate measures given the context?
>Everyone was a second class citizen in the South.
LAWL
>Everyone was a second class citizen in the South
Yeah maybe in the 1800's. The Jim Crow era was obviously about keeping blacks as close to slaves as they used to be. Just because some guys in DC sign a piece of paper, doesn't mean anyone changes their mind.
What could make intentionally providing worse *everything* to the citizenry an appropriate measure?
The treating of blacks as second-class citizens was the point. "Separate but Equal" was a fig leaf and everyone knew it.
Yeah from the 1870s until c. 1968
In theory according to Plessy v Ferguson (1896) segregation was only allowed if equal facilities were provided. In practice this was almost never the case.
Also AAs were regularly handed out much harsher punishments in court than was the case for white defendents (ie. Black George Stinney was executed for a murder based on sketchy evidence whilst White J.W. Milam and Roy Bryant were acquitted for the murder of Emmett Till, only for them to confess to having committed the murder after the trial due to being protected from double jeopardy).
OP, you’re asking a board that’s 50% /misc/ junior with somehow even more stupidity and fragility.
You aren’t going to get that many honest answers. It only took 9 posts for someone to mention JOOOZ and “b-but whites had it worse!”
>implying OP isn't acting stupid and trying to stir something up
Whatever they did back then was more harmonious than what came afterwards that's for sure.
It wasn't.
Well look at the picture they're all well dressed...
Most major race riots happened after Jim Crow. Even a lot of race riots that happened before and during that time were in the north.
The worst race riots (likely hundreds of deaths) were between 1877 and the 1920s.
No.
History revisionists like to claim black people were lynched because they were black when that's never the case, if a black person got lynched, he always had to have done something to have that happened to him.
The KKK weren't formed to "terrorize" black people either. They were a vigilante group with the aim of making sure former slaves followed the law, because most former slaves didn't follow the law when they were released.
Yes there was segregation, yes it was illegal for black men to be with white women. That didn't come from hate though. People were just trying to preserve what was valuable to them. That's all.
>History revisionists like to claim black people were lynched because they were black
They were usually **accused** of something, but were never brought to trial or were abducted from jail before legal proceedings began. Really a lot of them had just gotten on someone's bad side or had violated the code of race relations.
I'm sure many who were lynched truly deserved it. I'm sure others were falsely accused. What is the ratio of false accusations to true accusations of heinous crimes? My gut tells me about 1:3. So 75% of those who were lynched probably deserved it. Unfortunate that many innocents died but we can't reiterate every ancient injustice.
Your racist gut isn't a source.
>They were a vigilante group with the aim of making sure former slaves followed the law, because most former slaves didn't follow the law when they were released.
They pretty much harassed and targeted everyone lol. LULZ contrarianism is fun and all but there's limit.
>I'm sure many who were lynched truly deserved it
Even that can be fucked up because lynchings completely bypass the legal procedures to hand out a ruling and make it a total wild west. Being a theif doesn't mean getting burnt to a crisp or tossed out of town on a rail tarred and feathered is good.
>Well it certainly catering to black people I don't understand.
It really isn't contrary to the spergs on this site lol.
>muh lost cause
doesn't matter, its all been memory holed.
he who controls the present, controls the past
Reconstruction showed us that certain parts of the southern population could not be trusted with the franchise, and their actions in their newly freed state showed us that they needed a firm hand if they were to remain in America.
Source?
>they needed a firm hand if they were to remain in America.
So why not let them leave America like they wanted? Yankees like to talk a lot of shit but you’re the ones who lost over 360,000 men to keep us in the Union
Racism really is the lifeblood of the US, you guys will never be able to live without it.
As opposed to everywhere else in the world where all the races live in harmony with each other and sing kumbaya
I watched a video by a black guy that said america wasn't built for us.
Well it certainly catering to black people I don't understand. He was right about leaving america though but for the wrong reason. He thought reparations and go live somewhere else with the money I think.
>Well it certainly catering to black people I don't understand.
No it's not.
>Inb4 media
Who cares.
Well I know for a fact many do in fact get section 8 and food stamps and probably some disability etc... Atleast black moms. So you can't say American society doesn't cater to black women atleast.
Social security I mean not disability. Well they come from the same pot.
>Well I know for a fact many do in fact get section 8 and food stamps and probably some disability etc..
No that's Whites, Spics and Asians and mainly immigrants of all races. Fuck off.
Picrel was when I was mogging some zoomalian on some other media and I learn something very interesting.
Brah that's like saying women get catered to because there's women's washrooms
>No it's not.
It is though. The GAE is always invoking minority groups to get its politics through, it's part of the entire moral blackmail of the technocratic apparatus.
Who?
Also they can always just say no.
Anon, you realize being the face of minorities across the country, then refusing to represent their interests does the opposite of cater to them, right? It just nullifies their voice.
>then refusing to represent their interests does the opposite of cater to them, right?
Depends on what you think their interests are. The Democratic Party has a patronage relationship with blacks that involves trading affirmative action and welfare checks for their votes every election.
>blacks that involves trading affirmative action and welfare checks
Both parties do it you moron. Hell in regards to welfare it's been constantly stripped tl under both parties for decades. How the fuck do you not know that?
>Hell in regards to welfare it's been constantly stripped tl under both parties for decades.
And yet blacks keep voting for the Democrats at a rate of 90/10.
>The Democratic Party has a patronage relationship with blacks that involves trading affirmative action and welfare checks for their votes every election.
So, leverage of porkbarrel politics in a hostage arrangement with a minority group so they can maintain their day-to-day sustenance? Yeah, that's abuse, anon. Compare that with the investment in foreign industry and education immigrants receive.
you cannot remove human nature with legislation. Jim Crow has been gone for nearly 60 years yet:
>blacks still have highest poverty and worst QoL index of any major demographic
>most blacks are effectively wards of the state via welfare or being hired through affirmative action quotas
>blacks are the largest victim of black crime
>blacks comprise 60% of the prison population in the United States
>police are much less likely to take action on behalf of black crime victims
>neighborhoods and schools in most places are de facto if not de jure segregated
>black schools remain extremely underfunded and more than 75% of students do not graduate
All you did was admit Whites were part of that human error moreso than Blacks.
I can say that one race is the problem here and it's not whites. But you already knew that, LBJfag. Now kindly toodle off and make another butthurt thread about the Tulsa riots.
>I can say that one race is the problem here and it's not whites.
How do you look at that and conclude it's the blacks' fault? Real question.
I think he's arguing the same point as you here.
Well yeah it takes years to reverse such long running policies.
>Saying the average black politician is getting paid or paying for retarded to riot isn't exactly right.
I never said that either. I'm saying minorities are always used as a token form of moral blackmail by certain subsets of the elite because of their naturally inequitable position in society. A minority group that lives in a state with a majority ethnicity, almost always comes out worse statistically even when the inequity is minor, which means the minority can always be used as a moral bludgeoning tool to change a policy by someone within the elite.
There's also a compounding issue these days in that we are overeducating a horde of people in liberal arts subjects that the power hierarchies of the bureaucracy and markets can't absorb; these people become radicals who torch literal cities as a threat in order to get a job and the status they think they deserve; QED Black Lives Matter.
>You can call it abuse as much as you like, but client-patronage networks is the backbone of the US political system.
It sounds like we're in agreement.
>Minorities are dumb because they're being exploited by the prevalent power structures
>Because they're essentially losing to the same power that has a de facto grip on the rest of the planet
>Dumb
>Yes, it takes a fairly self aware population to not get grifted into burning down cities every few years.
Anon, well over half of the participants were white or some sort of white-variant, and the entire point was that the government hijacked an ethnic protest to make it a pressure-release mechanism for their economic troubles. The majority of blacks were not involved.
>Minorities are not self aware, largely. And that has a lot to do with their inherent low intelligence
I'm actually amazed at the power of cognitive dissonance, that it can produce this. Dialogue truly is a meme.
Not him, but political terrorism isn't on par with street crime.
It's not a strawman. It's the logical conclusion of the graph: that the impact of people on the economy is just a matter of subtracting "welfare" expenditures from income tax revenue. Apparently the economy didn't exist until 1913, and income tax revenue represents your role in the economy.
If you wanted to see crime statistics and their burden on the economy instead, you could have just asked.
In America? On the national scale I doubt it does much. Can make or break municipalities though.
Go ahead and provide evidence that street crime is racially motivated then.
the point of jim crow was to give white immigrants and former white slaves rights while taking the right of the ruling black class it was the direct result of reconstruction
