Imagine you’re 45yrs. And never experienced Jim Crow, arguing about how things were under it, with a man who lived through it.

[@kbpeters4246]

YES! Byron Donalds should never mentioned Jim Crow. He should have stated that families were stronger from 1890 to 1950 and despite open racism and widespread poverty, strong black families used to be the norm. But the mention of Jim Crow was outrageous. White supremacists and the Far Right along with QAnon and all the other weirdos have and will excuse, defend and dismiss the tragedies of Jim Crow. Donalds’ mention and connecting strong families with Jim Crow era is going to be used to further write off the harsh history of that period. This is extremely worrisome when more and more school districts (especially in the South) are curtailing their history curriculum and eliminating their Civil Rights programs. We got young generations who don’t know about that time period. Who don’t appreciate the struggles and now hear from people like Donalds talking as if it was some kind of golden period of black families.

Go listen to Byron Donald's own words and you will see that he speaks the truth. During the Jim Crow era, there was more of a nuclear family for all Races. Why use the term Jim Crow? Because clearly in the Jim Crow era, that was a low for racism in America, and yet black families stayed together without the help of white men. Then unfortunately white men started interjecting their progressivism, and all Races started to lose the nuclear family, not just black families. Unfortunately though, the white progressivism disproportionately affected the black families more for the worse.

The ignorance of it all is what bothers me. He doesn't understand how black people lived during that time. He doesn't even realize that Jim Crow began in the 1870s. He doesn't know that black men had to leave home and work away from the family to send money home and that black women had to work in white people's homes to make extra money. To him in the 30s-50s they had the black Brady Bunch going on and that's not true. Al Sharpton is right the divorce rate rose throughout all America and not just in the black community. Did he not pay attention that the conservative criticism of blacks in the 1960s is the same thing he is spewing now? Jim Brown was on a talk show in the 1960s listening to this same crap coming from a Conservative Democrat.

[@mdiond70]

What you don't understand is that Qualified Immunity only covers an officer's actions in performance of official duty. The organization is still open to suit by any party involved. If an officer acts outside of his officail duties, they can be sued personally. Ex., if a department does not allow vehicle pursuits for a stolen car, no exceptions, and an officer pursues a stolen car, and someone is injured/ killed, the police department can be sued, also, the officer can be sued, because they acted outside of their mandated duties. Look at the many frivolous lawsuits that occur. Why would you want to open yourself up to that just because you did your job?
