Why do black people hold to the Idea to slavery so strongly but?

Slavery ended 150 years ago, but the Jim Crow laws that were legally established to continue to keep blacks in their "place" kinda sorta ended just 40-something years ago. But the same institutional racism so very clearly exists today. That may be why the topic of slavery still agitates our emotions today. BUT lets get back to your real question...

I remember reading that the original Democrats (who were the original racists and who were pro-slavery) switched to the Republican party at some point in the 20th century...while the original Republicans switched to the Democratic party. I think that it was right after the civil rights movement. The Democrats today are NOT the Democrats that were pro-slaver and pro-Jim Crow.

Democrats in Lincoln's time was nearly the complete opposite of the democratic party today. The ideologies of the parties changed, but name remained the same. The Republican party tends to be full of white people who are exclusive in nature. They idealize a time when America was "pure", and they almost never speak to issues that effect the African American, Asian American, Latin American, and Indian American communities.

Also, the reason why a lot of black people still bring up slavery is because discrimination still exists in American society... it's just a lot more subtle than it was decades ago. I really wish you could spend a day in an African American's shoes to be able to notice the subtle discriminatory treatments they receive. It all adds up and has a profound psychological impact.

1. Black people don't think about slavery nearly as much as white people do.

2. It wasn't "long time ago."

3. Today's Democratic party was not the same was the democratic party of the civil rights era.

true democrats were the ones that fought to keep slaves and the party that gave blacks rights under certain stipulations that they profited from to this very day; whats not true is that ALL black people are democrats or support democrats.

plus blacks aren't still hung up on slavery. thats what you bring up when race is discussed .

As you are able to tell by utilizing analyzing the different solutions right here, maximum folk disagree as a results of fact they have incorrect suggestions or misunderstandings of what those ideals are. that's unhappy, what number 0.5-actual or maybe thoroughly untrue statements have been given in answser to this question. I certainly have yet to locate every physique who isn't spriritually lifeless and close-minded, who has ever discovered what Mormons truly have faith (and additionally you will not locate that out by utilizing talking to an ex-mormon or an anti-mormon; all they be conscious of approximately is hate), and then has opened his or her coronary heart to God and has earnestly prayed, devoid of their coming to the understanding that that's actual. as quickly as the Holy Ghost has testified that to you, there is not any reason to doubt, no depend what venom human beings could spew approximately it. definite, not each and every thing taught contained in the Mormon church is got here upon contained in the Bible. yet Mormons have faith in modern-day prophets. And the Bible is crammed with examples of prophets giving the folk new instructions. do not condemn something in simple terms as a results of fact previous prophets have not pronounced it. Why might Moses have been given the ten commandments, if God by no skill gave us something new? Why might Jesus have taught us the style of super style of recent issues, if God by no skill gave us something new? How unhappy that's, that a lot of human beings have faith God has had not something new to assert as a results of fact the days of Jesus. Why might every physique difficulty to desire, if God did not answer prayers and supply human beings the understanding they want and the understanding they lack? quite than reject a clean doctrine, pray with an open coronary heart and ask God whether that's actual.

Abraham Lincoln was republican

@Qwerty slavery is the only thing black people think about when it comes to history and it was a long time ago 150 years is a long time

although slavery was a long time ago,injustices do still occurs..im sure your well aware...but as far as political parties - i believe the democratic party holds people back by providing so much support...its causing people to no do for them self but have government provide it for them..IE-the "NANNY" state
