People in the 1830s would be making the same point about minstrel shows. The minstrel shows portrayed popular misconceptions around black Americans and reinforced negative stereotypes.

Throughout all of American history the Democrats have been a party of people who want others to do all the work while they themselves don’t do squat.

You refused to condemn people who called black people racial slurs and monkeys. Why are you pretending you care about racism?

Aight. That’s enough of you. I have already successfully defended myself numerous times and you keep bringing up this everywhere. You will be blocked now.
