The Jim Crow Era | A Stain on America's Past

[@gopibble]

Thank you for this concise doc. As a 54 yr old white Texan, it should come as no surprise that none of this was covered in my Texas or World History classes in the ‘80s. Sadly, 35 years later there is still a fight to keep this history out of our public school curriculum .

Not only American history but world history is apparently skewed in Red States in particular bc what happened in Germany with the Nazi’s and Hitler exterminating anyone they pleased is minimized. He did not only exterminate Jews.. he exterminated anyone who happened to be in a relationship with a Jew and any children he could!! Why else do you think that non-Jews stood up to him?! And helped to trick him. Also Russians invasion of Hungary to save them from the Nazi’s turned into their wanting to occupy and control Hungary with Communist Dictatorship which got the Hungarians together to kick Russia out of Hungary using their own war tanks!! Eventually Russia planted s Communist leader.. Orban In retaliation for losing. Many pieces of history are being hidden from Americans and all. It must be transparent or we will continue to repeat the failures of the past.. evil is counting on it!! Vote Blue wave 🌊

In 1943, when my Dad was in the Army Air Force, his life was saved by his army buddies by whisking him off a Biloxi Mississippi bus. He had offered his seat to a pregnant black woman. His buddies educated him on southern prejudice, surprising and saddening him deeply. The why I'll never understand. I'm thankful as an American veteran that we can look through history and learn of Frederick Douglass, Claudette Colvin and Rosa Parks, Harriet Tubman, and Homer Plessy, The 7th regiment, Dr. King. So many, so great, so terribly overlooked and underappreciated. There were and still are so many to look up to. Inventors, Statesmen, doctors, and, basically, our every field of life have been enriched with powerful, meaningful brothers and sisters. I'm also proud of the abolutiomist of the past and to those who continue to stand shoulder to shoulder in concert to end the stuggle of each fighting Americans who suffer(ed) tragically at the hands of those who violently oppose(ed) equality. May prejudice finally die a tired and deserved death never to be reborn.

I disagree with the logic that such knowledge will make white students feel hurt and ashamed. Sure, there will be some, but overall, it will teach that the mistakes of the past can't be hidden or repected.

[@williamcole5701]

@@user-ub7bk3sj2r of course I’m ashamed of my country’s past history and the mistakes its made. Especially as it relates to Native Americans and the slave trade. I’m also ashamed of this country’s lack of action in terms of dealing with the continued racism and institutional racism. But back to your question. I don’t think knowledge of the country’s history will make white students feel shame. All countries have something in their past they’d rather not remember. But openly discussing it in our classrooms will help deal with the past ever repeating itself. Today’s right wing media has created a false narrative that whites of today are to blame for institutional racism and the actions of past generations. I disagree with them wholeheartedly. We’re only responsible for our actions. But ignoring the past is an action that we’re responsible for. Germany had serious discussions with following generations after WWII and the role their country played in it. It led to greater healing and an inability to ignore what had been done. In America right wingers act as if it was America ended slavery following the civil war. Slavery had been on the way out all over Europe. America fought a civil war in order to keep slavery. Thankfully the south lost. But I digress. These are all discussions that should be held in classrooms across America. I find my country did me a disservice by not teaching this country’s true history with all its warts and blemishes. The version I received had been watered down and white washed with decades of institutional gaslighting. I feel my lack of nuance and a diverse perspective underprepared me for life as an adult. Thankfully, when I entered the military I was introduced to an entirely new world filled with people from all over the country with dozens of cultures and ethnic backgrounds. It’s an interesting question. No one has ever asked me that before. I’ve tried to gain more knowledge on the topic after seeing my biracial nephews growing up in white America. I’d seen how blatantly and openly racist people could be firsthand. So I attack all forms of it head on when I see it. Take care.

[@donaldbingham8990]

I found this to be interesting. I grew up in a suburb of Houston, TX in the 1940's and 50's. This was before the Civil Rights act of 1964. The school district that I was in was segregated as were all the neighborhoods in the area. As a result I was 10 years old before I ever even saw a black person. I was in high school from 1958 - 1961. This was a period when the seeds of racial unrest had begun to stir. The school district thought it was important to show us that they were providing equal or better education to the black community that was in the district so they bussed to a new high school that they had built for the black students. That was a very effective move as we were convinced that the black students were treated very well. After graduation I joined the navy and served on a nuclear ballistic missile submarine. We had a crew of between 90 to 125 and in that crew there was one black sailor, a chief petty officer with nuclear power training. After the Navy I got married and worked for a few years at an oil refinery as an operator in various units. There no black operators that I was aware of. The only jobs that back men had were labor jobs of cleaning and filling tank cars and trucks. I started college in 1969 at the University of Texas at Austin. I do not remember ever seeing a black student at that college, Darryl Royal was the football coach and they would not let him recruit any black players until some years later. Since this was still a time of change in race relations I was fortunate that the English department made us read a number of books about race topics in the literature classes. Some of the ones that I remember were several of James Baldwin's short stories and articles, These works and others opened my eyes to some aspects of what it was like to be black in the US. After college I got a job as an electrical engineer a large computer manufacturer. In addition to my engineering assignment I was tasked to mentor a new black engineer to help him learn how to deal with everyday interactions with the mostly white members of the engineering department. I was a new engineer but I was older and had experience in working in industry and the military and that is why I was given that assignment, I relate this because it ties in with the story about Homer Plessy. Even in the 1970's the education including higher education opportunities available to persons of color were not really equal to that available to blacks. I would have been really helpful if our school district had put some of the works I read in college in 1969. Instead of teaching us how and why the education system was failing black people they chose to teach us that there was not really a problem. That was a disservice to their students. It became clear to me that just building a new school building did not do anything to address the real issues of lack of job opportunities due to lingering discrimination and the lack of motivation caused by that for the students and teachers. Fifty years later some progress has been made but I fear that Trump and his MAGA movement will set that back 50 years or more.

[@LYBism]

Hello, what suburb of Houston did you grow up in and what school did you attend? I was born and raised in Houston; I still live here. I was born in 1969. I remember learning Black History, and I mean REAL Black History, as early as the 2nd and 3rd grades. I was eight years-old when ROOTS first aired, and I watched it EVERY SINGLE DAY. I can't remember when I first saw the AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF MISS JANE PITTMAN (it was some time between the 2nd and 4th grades) but those two movies really helped to shape my interest in Black history, as well as my awareness of racism. I was still a LITTLE naïve, though, as I didn't realize just how racist Texas is with its Good Ol' Boy attitude and system until I was fully grown. I didn't face a lot of in-your-face racism. My experiences were subtle and very few, at least as far as I'm aware of, so I was unaware of the way others saw Texas. Interestingly enough, I was also fully grown when I realized just how racist Louisiana is. Boy, was that a shock! I can't stand Abbott and his ever-so-eager attitude intention to do away with Black history. He and many Whites speak of critical race theory as if it's something bad. In my opinion, what CRT teaches is the causes, effects and continuing aftermath of racism. How dare Whites say they don't want their kids to feel badly about being White and for being on the RIGHT side of history (and that's not Blacks' intention AT ALL), but I can't help but to sarcastically ask, "Oh, but it's OK for OUR kids to feel badly about being Black and for being on the WRONG side of history, right?"

[@MGTOWPaladin]

@@B_Bodziak Tell that to Abraham Lincoln. In case you have never heard of him, he was an Illinois lawyer who served in the US House of Representatives and as the Union's 16th president. Lincoln's 19 April, 1861 Proclamation for Naval Blockades of Southern Ports: "Whereas an insurrection against the Government of the United States has broken out in the States of South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Florida, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Texas, and the laws of the United States for the COLLECTION OF THE REVENUE (TAX MONEY) cannot be effectually executed therein comformably to that provision of the Constitution which requires DUTIES (TAX MONEY) to be uniform throughout the United States:..." So, you're claiming a federal document, a proclamation by Lincoln, is a "work of fiction?" Actually, his Emancipation Proclamation is a "work of fiction" as it violates the US Constitution. Now, your job, if you decide to accept it, is *"PROVE ME WRONG!"* from Princeton.edu Abraham Lincoln's *Invention of Presidential War Powers:* Facing the unprecedented crisis of civil war in 1861, President Abraham Lincoln invoked *his* (not the Constitution's) "war power" as commander-in-chief to "take any measure which may best subdue the enemy." *DEFYING the Chief Justice of the United States,* he (Lincoln unconstitutionally) suspended the writ of habeas corpus by presidential decree. He also declared martial law, authorized the trial of civilians by military courts, (created illegal income tax on August 1861) and proclaimed the emancipation of (only specific) slaves--all on the grounds that *"I may in an emergency do things on military grounds which cannot be done CONSTITUTIONALLY by Congress.* Your turn! Good luck! Oh, just in case..... Lincoln illegally declared emancipation in the following locations in his Proclamation: "Arkansas, Texas, Louisiana, *(EXCEPT* the Parishes of St. Bernard, Plaquemines, Jefferson, St. John, St. Charles, St. James Ascension, Assumption, Terrebonne, Lafourche, St. Mary, St. Martin, and Orleans, including the City of New Orleans) Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, and Virginia, *(EXCEPT* the forty-eight counties designated as West Virginia, and also the counties of Berkley, Accomac, Northampton, Elizabeth City, York, Princess Ann, and Norfolk, including the cities of Norfolk and Portsmouth), and which *EXCEPTED* parts, are for the present, left precisely as if this0 proclamation were not issued." NOTE: Does Lincoln release any of the estimated 1 million slaves still held in the Union States? *NO!* Does he release any slaves in the Union Territories? *NO!* Does he release any slaves held in Indian reservations or territories? *NO!* Did he release any slaves in the Southern Border States? *NO!* Does he release any slaves in West Virginia? *NO!* Does he release any slaves in the Confederate State of Tennessee? *NO!* Does he release slaves in select counties/parishes of the Confederate States of Virginia and Louisiana? *NO!*

Evil at its worst. Right now today in 2024, a number of Southern Sates along with some of its elected Republican politicians on the local, state and federal level are working hard to bring back the Jim Crow era again through devious means when ever it can politically and through either enacting laws, not enforcing laws, legislating new laws, electing and confirming conservative judges on the local, state and federal level. All to control people of color in general and black Americans in particular. IMO!! But it will fail in the long run.

Emma, the Democrats were the slave owners before the civil war. The Democrats were the ones who implemented Jim Crow laws against the black population as well as being the party that enforced segregation in public schools throughout the 50's and 60's. Joe Biden was still supporting segregation in the 70's and 80's. It wasn't Republican law makers who were blocking the doors of schools in order to keep the black students out. It wasn't Republicans unleashing dogs on the civil rights protestors as they marched on the streets. It was Democrat leaders doing that. Republicans didn't embrace the racism of the Democrat Party back in the 50's, nor have they done so to this day. The Democrats pathetic and shameful racist history is owned totally and completely by them and them alone. In 1957 the Republican Party had drafted the Civil Rights Act legistlation and brought it to the floor of Congress to be voted on. But the current Speaker of the House, Lyndon Bane Johnson, wouldn't bring it up for a vote because he knew if it passed, the Democrat Party would never win another national election. Johnson blocked it from even being discussed until he became Vice President to President Kennedy in 1961. Kennedy wasn't interested in passing the Civil Rights Act, so nothing came of it until after his death. But during the 50's and 60's it was the Democrat Party leaders in the south who were enforcing the Jim Crow laws, filling the ranks of the KKK as it Lynched blacks and their white Republican allies. In 1964 3 men, who had traveled to Mississippi to register African Americans to vote went missing. Investigation was launched an uncovered that they had been murdered by members of the KKK, with support of local police, and their bodies buried in an earthen dam. No Republicans participated in this crime. Saying the Republican and Democrat Party switched ideologies in the 50's and 60's is just the Democrats revising history to cover up their shameful racist past. President Johnson didn't care about the well being of African Americans, he was still calling them the N-word. His only concern was how the Democrats could keep control of the government. Democrats had a super majority advantage in 1964, yet still couldn't get enough votes from their own party to pass the Civil Rights Act. Without support from the Republican Party, the bill would've failed to become law. Knowledge is only valuable if it is based on the truth.
