Everyone keeps saying that but how come not poor whites in the mountains or the huge asain in the west at the time? To me I would give some to the white mountain people, majority to asains and some to blacks. Did they just throw a dart at a dart board and it landed on blacks or was it we fucked over the blacks time after time so lets fuck them over again?
Why would anyone care about poor whites in the mountains? Let them survive in their hovels and shovel coal. They had no organization or other power to affect anyone
Because when you villify one group, the others will join you to fight against them.
If the poor whites and the poor blacks and the poor immigrants ever realized that they’re all on the same team, there wouldn’t be anyone to fight for the rich.
I think the answer is less complicated than you might think.
It’s because they were black.
The government really hated black people at the time should be the legit answer and sometimes I think the Republicans still do.
Exactly. Don’t give the racist that much credit. It wasn’t a well thought out plan. It was simply “fuck them ngrs”
It’s not all that deep. Unfortunately. I wish it was a grand plan. It’s not. It’s just “fuck em”

Anti-black racism has been a cornerstone of America since Jamestown
