From the KKK's heyday during the 1920s and 1930s, its alignment in the 1970s and 1980s with a growing crop of neo-Nazis and other cultists, and its emergence in the 1990s on the fringe of the "right-to-life" movement, Florida Klansmen have waged a constant war against progressive society.

From the 1880s into the 1960s, a majority of American states enforced segregation through "Jim Crow" laws (so called after a black character in minstrel shows). From Delaware to California, and from North Dakota to Texas, many states (and cities, too) could impose legal punishments on people for consorting with members of another race. The most common types of laws forbade intermarriage and ordered business owners and public institutions to keep their black and white clientele separated. http://academic.udayton.edu/race/02rights/jcrow02.htm

The Bush family has historically opposed civil rights and sided with southern Democrats known as Dixiecrats. 1964 the Bush opposed the Civil rights act and have continued their family values to this day.
Co-incidence??? Jim Crow states are now Bush "red" states

Which American nation? Menelmacari America, New York and New Jersey, California and Alaska or do you mean the United States of America that ceased to exist ages ago? Seems some populations are under the impression that the so called USA still exists.

Also... who is the Bush family and why should the world care about their alleged racism? If they're citizens of your nation, just execute them. Don't bitch at us about them.

OOC: I think the n00b got a bit confused by the clearly marked IC only sign on the main page. I do enjoy making fun of them for their stupidity though.

It was an honest mistake. This does go in General though.

Belongs in General. Also, don't make fun of him/her/it, they are clearly new here. They just don't know any better yet.

Now what really bugs me is when someone knowingly spams the forum, but that's beside the point...

OOC: You need to post an "OOC:" tag... People are getting confused by you!

This belongs in General.

That's not really relevant to modern politics, but it's true. The democratic party completly abandoned its racist supporters in the civil rights era. The Republican party was only too happy to pick them back up.
When it was the party of Lincoln Republicans were opposed to feudalism.
When it became the party of Nixon they were opposed to democracy.

Well of course, the South is the South, and probably always will be the asshole of the nation. The Democrat to Dixiecrat to Republican switchover happened during the civil rights movement. The KKK remains a fringe extremist side of the right, just as the SUV-torching hippies remain a fringe extremist side of the left.

As you can see, the difference between the 1860 and 2000 election:

The two sides switched, yet the liberals remained in the North, and the conservatives remained in the South.

Interesting history.
