Today, most of the old plantations have been sold off. Where slaves once picked cotton, there are subdivisions and stadiums. The prejudice, however, remains.

"There are still a lot of people who think blacks are simply inferior to whites," said Roger Ransom, an economic historian at the University of California, Riverside. "It is definitely there, and I don’t think it ever went away."

I had hoped that the racism that prevailed throughout this country had faded but with the election of Barack Obama and then Donald Trump it's clear that the racism that so defined this country is alive and well and lives in the Republican Party...

We show that contemporary differences in political attitudes across counties in the American South in part trace their origins to slavery’s prevalence more than 150 years ago. Whites who currently live in Southern counties that had high shares of slaves in 1860 are more likely to identify as a Republican, oppose affirmative action, and express racial resentment and colder feelings toward blacks. These results cannot be explained by existing theories, including the theory of contemporary racial threat. To explain these results, we offer evidence for a new theory involving the historical persistence of political and racial attitudes. Following the Civil War, Southern whites faced political and economic incentives to reinforce
existing racist norms and institutions to maintain control over the newly free African-American population. This amplified local differences in racially conservative political attitudes, which in turn have been passed down locally across generations. Our results challenge the interpretation of a vast literature on racial
attitudes in the American South.

And Peter somehow manages to skip the first two stages and go straight to boring.

There are quite a few blacks now who realize that the Democrats have been scamming them for half a century, that the Democrats are the real racists and that Trump is their best bet.

He will be getting a lot more black votes in 2020 than he did in 2016.

When he was running then, he told them "Take a chance, what've you got to lose?"

Since then, his policies have brought black unemployment to its lowest numbers in American history. Obama, meanwhile, their great black hope, like all Democrats did nothing for them.

But then, the Democratic Party is about nothing, anyway, except the economic, moral and social destruction of America and whatever personal gains they can make individually through their boundless corruption.

The fact that you support all that and are willing to lie on their behalf speaks loudly about your own character.
