America's Continuum of Racial Democracy and Injustice

In 2019 of the 252 Republican members of Congress only 3 were African American. Lincoln's progressive Republicanism had been supplanted by the regressive 1950s Southern-styled Democratic Party ideology of white primacy. America's initial morally flawed constitution permitted slavery to persist catalyzing and sustaining hostile unresolvable ideological warfare driven by slavery issues the Civil War a failed post-war Reconstruction effort and a brutal Jim Crow suppression. And since the 1980s politically contrived Republican race-neutral legislation and policies have disproportionally targeted minorities resulting in discriminatory housing voting policing and criminal justice outcomes. Over the centuries excessive white self-serving social and economic individualism of privilege religious ethno-cultural racism and a destructive anti-progressive anti-intellectual and anti-scientific mentality has been ingrained within the nation's DNA. This is America's continuum of racial democracy and injustice.
