In the Jim Crow south, blacks could not hold office, blacks could not be cops, blacks would not be in managerial positions, blacks would not be hiring managers, blacks would not be loan officers, etc. So since society in the Jim Crow south was nothing like it is today, let's stop pretending like its similar at all.
Today is very similar to the Jim Crow south in the fact that whites control a large disproportionate amount of the wealth and power and racism still exists.
So lets stop pretending that the Jim Crow south was "nothing like today". Some very important things are still the same.
