@james j. The consumer was protected by the community, people dealt with each other based on famiky name

Bro jim crow laws literally existed, what?

How if they skipped town @macsen

Are you sure you're a lefty?

@Maw yes because of the current social paradigm

Who pushed the Civil Rights Act?

The government did not create that attitude in people @Maw

@William Dinan liberals , non southerners

Yet Trump exists.

Hm.

@james j You didn't deal with those who weren't from your town or you did so at your own risk. It works well on the small scale, obviously not for large corporations.

Conservatives. Liberty seekers.

Yes , so what does trump have to do with the prevalent attitude of how society felt about black people back then @Maw

@William Dinan yes liberals of their time. Today’s liberal is tomorrow’s conservative

Do you not think it has a reflection on society now?

Like, I can't believe how you're turning yourself into a pretzel over this.

I don’t think your are following

I am following.

Back then people were more racist and had more racist attitudes towards black people

Do you feel Trump has an impact on society as it is? What societal norms are?

At that Time not much different from today. Majority of the Black Population actually have Conservative Values.

That was not the government setting the tone

Is Trump not the government?

Why are we talking about Trump

Because he's a big part of the government.

You were trying to say the government is why people were more racist back then

And people like to say he's racist, and it's creating more white nationalists.

No, I'm saying the government isn't some sort of benevolent entity.

That's always looking out for you.

Government lags behind the majority of people’s wants

That’s why you as a citizen have to elect people that represent you.

Once you have enough of those people then things change system wise

"People's wants" this is so ridiculous an argument when you're talking about ways that people can be mislead into supporting something they otherwise wouldn't.

That’s the media

Marketing etc

Is it? The PATRIOT act then?

The patriotic act spying on citizens

Trump makes people racist by taking away they social cost of being racist. Since they are considered racist already for supporting the President so why not just go all-in? So really it's the libtard's fault.

Certainly not the government trying to mislead people into supporting something they don't want.

Not at all.

@james j are you a social constructionist?
