       It was anti-democratic action which end "Black" and "White"
       Identity Politics
       --- Quote ---
       > African American voters overwhelmingly supported Franklin
       Roosevelt’s four presidential campaigns in 1932, 1936, 1940, and
       1944, but for other contests, as many Blacks identified as
       Republican as Democrat. Then, in 1948, disgusted with Democrat
       Harry Truman’s order to desegregate the U.S. Army and the
       Democratic Party’s support for anti–Jim Crow laws, thirty-five
       delegates from the Deep South walked out of the Democratic
       National Convention and formed the States’ Rights Democratic
       Party (Dixiecrats). Black voters flocked to the Democratic
       Party. To be clear, Black people didn’t switch parties. Their
       votes had always been split between the two political factions;
       they just stopped voting for Republicans. Indeed, they had a
       trick for the racist Republicans’ collective ass.
       >
       > But, as Saint Jerome said in the Bible, “White people gon’
       white.”* For the most part, Southern whites kept voting for
       Democrats and Republicans couldn’t get a foothold in the South.
       Republican Dwight Eisenhower won everywhere but the “Solid
       South” in 1952 and 1956. Then, in September 1957, Eisenhower
       sent federal troops into Arkansas to enforce the desegregation
       of Little Rock Central High School. In 1963, John F. Kennedy, a
       Democrat, broke with the party ideology and used Eisenhower’s
       playbook to send in the white storm troopers—the Alabama
       National Guard —to force desegregation at the University of
       Alabama. Then came the breaking point that would basically
       change the party affiliation of Southern voters. Shortly before
       the election of 1964, Democrat Lyndon B. Johnson signed the
       Civil Rights Act.
       >
       > Aside from Jimmy Carter in 1976, the Solid South would never
       vote for a Democratic president again.
       >
       > Those good ol’ Republicans who never read a white lie they
       didn’t like would like you to believe that Republicans supported
       the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Democrats opposed it, which is
       only partially true. To understand the change in both parties’
       ideology, all one has to do is count the votes.9

       It was democratic system that preserve and justified "Black" and
       "White" Identity Politics
       --- Quote ---
       > Two years after the passage of the Civil Rights Act—barely a
       year after the passage of the landmark Voting Rights Act—54
       percent of white Americans said they thought the civil rights
       marches were “not justified,” according to an August 1966 Harris
       poll.1 In October, 85 percent of whites responded that the
       “demonstrations by negroes on civil rights” hurt the
       “advancement of negro rights.”2 By June 1969, only 32 percent of
       respondents felt Black protesters were “trying to be helpful.”3
       Because of the civil rights movement, the country finally began
       to address the disparities, inequality, and terrorism that were
       the by-product of a quadruple century of racial oppression. But
       when all was said and done, the majority of white people in
       America had reached one conclusion:
       >
       > Something was wrong with Black people.
       >
       > And to fix America’s racial problem, all this country needed
       to do was to fix Black people. To address the drugs, crime, and
       poverty caused by wealth disparities, unequal employment, and
       lack of community resources,they decided to police, arrest, and
       imprison the people who were subjected to redlining,
       segregation, and systemic discrimination. While the whitewashing
       of history has led us to believe that, at the time, we simply
       didn’t understand that mass incarceration does not stop crime,
       we always knew it wouldn’t work. Black people knew that America
       needed an economic solution to address racial inequities.
       Criminologists and sociologists knew that crime is a
       socioeconomic phenomenon. We have always known that arresting
       drug dealers and drug users doesn’t affect the proliferation of
       drugs.

       Through my own experience, it often feels like "black"
       Americans, specifically wealthy "black" Americans, are in
       desperate search of someone outside of the bull-shyte identity
       the "black" community has bought into to come along and tell
       them that they are actually correct in struggling against
       "white" identity? Beyond the obvious sad and pathetic nature of
       such a worldview, I do find it's most wealthy "black"
       LAZY-BRAINED rappers who have realized the cash-cow that feeds
       their wealth is about to die because they are too dumb to keep
       it alive, fall into this category of degenerate moronic
       westerner who cannot think for themselves to save their own good
       graces the most? It often feels like the degenerate "black"
       western rappers realized they are dumb-fuck degenerates too
       late? Had these degenerate wankers actually used two brain cells
       to think they would have realized they will lose everything
       they've ever earned if they stay the present course of dumb-fuck
       westerner!? Why not be real from day one, other <s>rappers</s>
       HIP-HOP ARTISTS seem to get it, why are rappers like Snoop Dogg,
       Eminem, Dr. Dre, Tupac, etc., such degenerate imbeciles? These
       people chose their path, did they not?
       I also find it amazing how so many of these U.S. "blacks" will
       scurry out of the wood-work like roaches when you supposedly
       care about "black"-Americans, yet when you reveal that you're a
       scared immigrant who does not feel safe in the U.S. because of
       how U.S. citizens have started treating their guests, these
       fraudulent U.S. western RAPPERS do not have shit to say, nor
       will they defend you!
       I think, if Hitler was right in thinking only the negro can save
       America, then America is fucked and these people are destined to
       lose all of their wealth eventually, sooner rather than later!
