the validity of state election results, and to determine the winner of the 2020 presidential election, Sen. Ted Cruz pointed to the example of 1877, when a deadlocked Electoral College resulted in just such an arrangement. The example is more telling than Cruz likely intended.
In reality, Hayes’ hands were tied. There was no appetite in the North for a protracted occupation more than 10 years after the war had ended. The Army was a shadow of its former self. Still, the abandonment of Black Southerners slowly opened the door for the creation of the Jim Crow South: where only one political party governed; where only white people — and only some white people, for poll taxes and literacy tests disenfranchised many poor white citizens — voted; and where violence prevailed.
The Great Migration of African Americans to Northern and Western states, which began during World War I and lasted roughly half a century, gradually led to the enfranchisement of large numbers of Black citizens. While they faced a gauntlet of Jim Crow practices in the North, ranging from discrimination in housing and education to employment and policing, people of color were, for the most part, able to exercise the franchise. Not so their Southern cousins.
A pro-Trump mob breaks into the U.S. Capitol on January 06, 2021 in Washington. | Win McNamee/Getty Images— that our country has always respected democratic processes and election outcomes — one has to erase the first eight decades of the American experiment, when most African Americans were held as property and very few free Black people in the North were permitted to vote.
Strictly speaking, in recent decades Republican hardliners have proven just as unwilling to concede the legitimacy of white Democratic officeholders — Bill Clinton, Joe Biden, Gretchen Whitmer, Roy Cooper, Tony Evers — as Black officeholders like Barack Obama. But the coalitions that those white Democrats lead, like the coalitions led by white Republicans in the Reconstruction-era South, are diverse.
And yet for several decades, this narrative has been flipped on it's head. Are you living in the 1970s or are you just trying to get clicks by spreading inflammatory hatred instead of promoting communion, togetherness and peace? It's one of the two, guys. PART OF THE PROBLEM!
Fascism is a form of far-right, authoritarian, ultranationalism characterized by dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition and strong regimentation of society and of the economy. Intolerance and the glorification of violence is central.
Finally, some fakenews writing with some flair, but still fake. The crowd to whom Josh Hawley raised his fist (of support) was and is a majority of protestors, not 'insurrectionists'. Lest your constitutionally-truncated writers forget, protest of goverment is protected.
Politico and most of the Left has no self-awareness. They are blinded by hate they don't even realize they are adding fuel to the polarization with their double standards and overt agenda.
Garbage ! Partisan politics as usual to exploit diversity of population for political advantage !
Race, gender, power, class: pick your grievance, put saddle on it and ride it all the way to Capitol Hill.
TRUTH
the minority you describe is enshrined in the constitution itself. when the writers of it talked about protecting minorities they weren't talking about brown people or immigrants. They were talking about rich people.
jlewis237 North and South *American* history. We have not reckoned with this truth. The history of our continents has been one of white terrorism from the first rape of a Native girl by Columbus to today.
' spirit ' or ' soul ' of the USA ? The soul was sold from birth: Thomas Jefferson was indeed the main writer of the Declaration of Independence of July 4, 1776 and its initial text 'condemned the slavery of the African populations' and this clause was struck by Congress.
Yes, it is so we are. But it is not acceptable, to ALL decent people.
Stop saying bullshit! Have you ever been in Africa? Do you know how it rules there? It’s violance, starvation and dictatorship all over there
So true but Stacey Abrams and the people of 'GEORGIA ' showed walrus Mitch McConnell and Lady 👩 Lindsey Graham who will be in the Senate and who will control it and they voted Rev.Warnock and John Ossff in to show them and the dirty rat 🐀 Trump
MINORITY RULE OVER THE MAJORITY(think of RHODESIA&SOUTH AFRICA..)in 20-40 yrs from now there will no longer be the WASP MAJORITY..just an informed minority that will not abide by discrimination&oppression&segregation..
America is a capitalist dictatorship Trump supporter are not your enemies The financial world is
WRONG right off the bat. In the 1700s whites were over 80% of the population hardly a small minority. Even today white non hispanic hovers around 60%. It makes sense that the majority of those in power would be white. Just like african nations power is held by black ppl Wakeup
That’s the history of the Americas since the Spanish and Portuguese first arrived. The Bolivar revolutions in the Spanish colonies attempted to tackle that, but ultimately just involved a load of Spaniards then calling themselves Aztecs but continuing things on as normal
Dumb
Its always been this way ever since the slave owners did not get their expected compensation for losing their slaves. Literally, that's what is underneath this. The generational resentment for having their property taken away without compensation....how putrid is that?
If only you would explain in a bite sized manner how that - rich - minority - from their authoritarian mentality - has deliberately worsened everyone’s local conditions, white and any other colour, to maintain power over anyone and anything.
Mainstream media’s demonisation and negative stereotypes of black people has been going on for decades and continues to get worse with added social media. Welcome to the world of black and brown people!
Correction. White men not white people. In general white men have controlled everything.
It’s ok to be White
EXACTLY.......... GREED WHITE POWER ANYTHING ELSE?
Now that minority is called Republicans.
wow you fuckers would make this about race. And it's not sharing power if one party controls the entire media and three branches of government.
