But they'll use the legislature to suppress your vote. Also cops would harass you for being black back then with random traffic stops and full vehicle searches - and there were sundown towns - but they didn't shoot like they do today. Police shootings have gotten much worse. Even during Jim Crow, it was the lynch mob not the cops that did the killing (confirmed with relatives who survived Jim Crow). The police are much worse than in the 1980s. the opportunity for minorities is exponentially better than it was in the 80s, right? i mean you don't think progress has been made? i don't have any facts or information, i just find it hard to believe that's the case --- i swear to God most of y'all cats just don't know The Trent you barely know yourself so i guess most of y'all should be offended <cite>The Trent posted [p:953752525] in is it just...
