The slave owners didn't develop racism because they hated black people - they wanted free labor.
Today we blame the poor.
We don't want kids catching on

@Roundandroundwego The slave owners considered black people as less than human.

Yes, they desired free labor, but let us not forget who they selected for use.
@JSul3 my teachers at prep school said only one percent of humanity can live good lives and the rest aren't even really self aware. That's the same school Trump got expelled from.

But the slavers were such nice and wonderful Christians.

@Patriot96 You are holding on to that 'party identity' with all your might..
"Liberals" freed the slaves. "Conservatives" owned slaves, created the KKK..etc.
BTW, many of the Founding Fathers owned slaves too! What "party affiliation" were they!?

You ignore the fact that there were liberals, moderates, and conservatives within the parties.

Freeing the slaves was most certainly an example of liberal thinking....and Lincoln, who was no abolitionist, and his major concern was saving the Union at all costs, had his "come to Jesus" moment and signed the Emancipation Proclamation.

How did Reconstruction go? It was a total disaster. Here came the Jim Crow laws. Why? Because the truth was, those in the North really didn't give a damn about blacks having any rights. Some of the most racist cities can be found in the Northern states, even today.

When the Civil Rights Act was signed, the 'conservative' Democrats joined the Republican party. Then came the Southern Strategy by Nixon and the south has been "red territory" for the most part ever since. The Republicans in those southern states cared so much for blacks getting their rights, that they continued to display the "stars and bars" of the Confederacy on their state flags for decades.

The Republicans in those southern states care about the blacks so much, that the states remain the poorest and least educated of our country, needing funding from the blue states.

The Republicans care so much about blacks that they do everything they can to restrict their access to the ballot box. Why is that?

You NEVER see any voter registration drives in minority neighborhoods by the Republican party, touting the great things offered by their party platform.
Why is that?

The Democrats party, with all of its flaws...and they have many....strive for equality and freedom.

The backbone of the Democratic party are black women.

Today, the Republican party is dead. It is now 100% the Party of Trump, where no voice of dissent is allowed, and those who do not bow down and pledge total loyalty to Dear Felon Leader, are quickly dispatched.

Today the GOP now stands for "Guardians of the Pedophiles" for their failure to release the entire FBI/DOJ Epstein files, and take the necessary action to charge and prosecute those responsible.

I suggest you go to a dictionary and read the definitions of liberal and conservative. Then do a simple web search on "What are the most conservative nations in the world?" and enjoy reading the results.

Mexico ended slavery decades before America did and they did it simply by saying that it's over. BTW, slavery is still legal in America.

Maga is white supremacy at its core.
