Thomas Sowell is usually great, but he has fallen sway to the MSM and the politically correct in his use of language.
These Jim Crow laws were the invention of only one political party, and we all know the name of that Party -- dare I say "Democrat Party". All white people in America did not create nor subscribe to these laws. These laws and social practices were not found in States where Republicans were in control. Only the people of Southern States under the control of the Democrat Party had Jim Crow laws. This point should have been made very clear, but unfortunately, if Sowell had made it clear, then I am sure many newspapers would not have printed the article. As Ann Coulter often says, "the elephant in the room' was ignored.

Ann Coulter once wrote that the Democrats have always been the party of racial segregation. They were once for discrimination against blacks, but today they are for discrimination against whites.
