      Sorry but I didn’t mean it in that historic perspective and neither did OP.

      It doesn’t matter what people say, it’s important what happens. By keeping illegal immigrants in their exploitive conditions, and by e.g. not prosecuting those who employ illegal immigrants, the Democrats created the current situation, together with the Republicans. The Democrats are complicit.

      Nevertheless, those are interesting links.

        Ah, sorry, that makes sense. If you didn’t know, there’s a common Republican talking point that – because the Democrats were the racist slavers in the 1800s and the Repuublicans the progressive abolitionists – the modern-day Democrats are the real racists because like, like, uh, look at what they did 160 years ago! Completely ignoring, of course, the context I linked to above.

Rules:

  1. The mods are fallible; if you’ve been banned or had a post/comment removed, please appeal.
  2. Off-topic posts will be removed. If you don’t know what “Leopards ate my Face” is, try reading this post.
  3. If the reason your post meets Rule 1 isn’t in the source, you must add a source in the post body (not the comments) to explain this. If the reason is in the source but is tedious to find (e.g. in a lengthy video), you must add an explanation for where it is.
  4. Posts should use high-quality sources (for a rough idea, check out this list), and posts should retain the title (if one exists) from works like news articles, videos, etc. You may (but need not) edit your post if the source changes the title. Other types of posts should have a title which accurately, relatively neutrally describes their contents.
  5. For accessibility reasons, an image of text must either have alt text or a transcription in the post body.
  6. Reposts within 1 year or the Top 100 of all time are subject to removal. Within moderator discretion, this doesn’t just include reposts of the exact same media but also includes e.g. a secondary source telling basically the exact same story as another that was already posted.
  7. This is not exclusively a US politics community. You’re encouraged to post stories about anyone from any place in the world at any point in history as long as you meet the other rules.
