Republicans Democrats vs Conservatives Liberals

Please adjust the verbiage of Democrats and Republicans to conservatives and liberals. Based on the time frame being referenced, it’s easy to misinterpret today’s liberal Democrat or today’s conservative republican with history’s liberal Republicans or conservative Democrats. This article currently doesn’t make any distinction.

I disagree. the division was mostly along party lines. Inside the Dem party, liberals and conservatives agreed. Inside the GOP race was also a factor. Rjensen (talk) 22:20, 14 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Improper source to support a point

I believe the use of Bruce Bartlett's "Wrong on Race: The Democratic Party's Buried Past"(Citation 3) is an improper and poor quality citation to support the statement quoted below made at the beginning of the article.

"These laws were enacted in the late 19th and early 20th centuries by white Southern Democrat-dominated state legislatures to disenfranchise and remove political and economic gains made by black people during the Reconstruction period.[3]"

Wrong on Race states in its introduction that it's goal is to improve the public's perception of the Republican Party with regards to their history on racial equality and to highlight past efforts by the 19th and 20th century Democratic Party to undo, prevent, or curtail civil rights gains by African Americans. I'm don't think that the information in the book is necessarily incorrect, but it uses that information to forward a political agenda.

I think this citation should be replaced with one that is not expressly intended to sway political opinion.

segregated US army inside Europa WW2

Hello, i miss information about the army it self. afaik the US army that was stationed in Limburg, the Nethherlands, was a segregated army. The black soldiers were not allowed to fight, but had to feed the troops and perhaps be hospik. Where is that information and is that part off Jim Crow afa the name stand for racism.

Confederate Memorial Day

I've added some context to the Confederate Memorial Day article, along with sources, as it's been well-established by historians that the holiday was originally promoted during the Jim Crow era to reinforce white supremacy, and revived during the Civil Rights Movement in the 1950s (much like the concurrent rise of Confederate monuments). There's one editor who is insisting on removing this sourced material. I would prefer some editors get involved before it gets too ugly, because I have some experience with editors who want to removed what they consider "negative" items from an article, and I think a third or fourth party might be helpful here.

"Jim Crow on Steroids"

The current president of the United States has stated that there are modern laws in Georgia that are "Jim Crow on steroids". I thought I might get some information about these modern Jim Crow laws here, but I don't see a section about them. Can anyone add that to the article? 67.60.231.114 (talk) 05:03, 16 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
