Jim Crow is busy, busy, busy

 Don Surber

"When Democrats took charge of the South after Reconstruction, they made racial discrimination the law of their part of the land. They passed Jim Crow laws to keep the black man down. 

"Jim Crow died in 1964. LBJ killed him with the help of 27 of the 33 Republican senators who voted to end a filibuster by 22 Democrat senators from the South and Bob Byrd.

"30 years after passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 -- after the last white supremacist died -- Republicans began the long slog to political dominance. The South prospered.

"Unable to win an election on merit in the South, Democrats used the covid 19 crisis to replace the ballot box with the mailbox and stole Georgia's election.

"Republicans got smart and reformed the election law. 

"Democrats denounced it as JIM CROW because somehow black people who have a photo ID to drive a car, buy a beer, or get a pack of smokes do not have such identification when it comes to voting." . . .
