    Republicans Want To Go Back To Jim Crow

    "Republicans Want To Go Back To Jim Crow" was the title in RPC for Robert Reich's Biden's no LBJ but he must protect voting rights. What else is the presidency for?.

    I pick it out for a look at how illogical liberals can be.

    In 1963, when the newly sworn in Lyndon Baines Johnson was advised against using his limited political capital on the controversial issue of civil and voting rights for Black Americans, he responded: “Well, what the hell’s the presidency for?”

    The US is again approaching a crucial decision point on the most fundamental right of all in a democracy: the right to vote. The result will either be the biggest advance since LBJ’s landmark civil rights and voting rights acts of 1964 and 1965, or the biggest setback since the end of Reconstruction and start of Jim Crow in the 1870s....
    How convenient a short memory is to forget Jim Crow was created at the hands of Democrats. Why else would LBJ have risked political capital?

    And how convenient to repeat the real big lie that there was no election fraud. Denying voting fraud allows one to come up with imaginary racist reasons Republicans want to investigate and regulate voter fraud.

    How illogical can you get!

    The Republicans want equality but the Democrats still want to use skin color to create privileges for certain races. They have made the movement move in reverse. They have created resentment and worse between the races.

    It's not at all about creating special privileges for POC's, it's about institutionalizing the cheat. Dems couldn't care less about blacks and browns.

    It all started with Affirmative Action.

    First it was blacks.
    Then any minority.
    Then woman.
    Then men over 50.

    That leaves the new minority being discriminated against as white men under 50 and we better add, whom are legally in the country.

    That leaves this terrible majority of almost 19%! Huh?

    I get it, but it has never been a matter of Democrats actually caring about anyone. In fact, Democrat policies always have the opposite effect of their stated purpose.
