Jim Crow

( This was what I had originally written as a separate blog, but combined with the blog of 04/11/2016 because of the similarity of the “religious protection” laws and the presently popular “bathroom bills” with Jim Crow)

Many people are not familiar with why there was a need for Jim Crow laws.

The reason was very subconscious as the laws were not to prevent power as little of that comes from the toilet you use or the water fountain from which you drink.

The reason for the Jim Crow laws was to keep the races separate so as to protect the virtuous white women from the allegedly uncontrollable lecherous advances of black men.

Remember, it was more economical to breed your own slave stock rather than have to increase it by purchase, and to profit further by being able to sell off the children at a good price.

Therefore the more fertile and capable of childbearing a woman was, and the more well endowed the males were not only spoke to the possibility for better and more profitable transactions, but the slave owner would have to be aware of the male slaves endowment, as would the female members of the slave owners’ families.

Given the choice between what had been bred for breeding, and the slave owners’ offerings, it was clear who the losers would be if the women could observe their options.

Therefore white and black needed to be separate in all areas as much as was practicable, and speaking of the danger and indoctrinating women into believing what their husbands and suitors needed to be believed when they promoted the idea of the rapacious Black man was preached in churches and codified in law.

The actual reason for Jim Crow laws was not, therefore, protecting the virtuous white women from the unsolicited advances of the freed black man, but eliminating the white man’s disgrace  at losing out if their women had a choice.

Just as now, with the “religious protection” laws that are actually  weakly clever and totally transparent anti-GLBT discrimination laws using religion as an excuse to justify them as was done with segregation and keeping women “in their place”, it was not the sin of those against whom the laws were directed, but the short comings of those who directed the laws.
