The more things change – the more they stay the same.

On November 22, 1865, Mississippi Democrats passed black codes to impose near slavery on African Americans in the state.

Democrats didn’t want those blacks to see any success in life. Today Democrats do that by “representing” blacks in political office but doing nothing to improve their lives in the hood.

Grand Old Partisan reported:

According to these Democrat laws, African-Americans could not:

 • vote

 • serve on juries

 • testify against white people

 • own guns

 • travel without permission

 • assemble for political purposes

 • own farmland

 • be outdoors at night

 • change jobs without permission
