Eleanor Roosevelt also played a pretty significant role in the transition with her support of civil rights which caused the Democratic Party to gain African American votes.

The civil rights act of 1964 occurred in 1964 an important fact that was highlighted because it demonstrated 4:30 how "segregated" the democrats were on civil rights. The anti-civil rights democrats would become known as "dixie-crats" and ultimately republicans.
A J Lincoln was racist too. You should go look up some of his views. He didn’t even want to abolish slavery if he didn’t have to, he just didn’t want it to expand into new states. 🥴 All this proves to black people like me is that white Americans, regardless of party, have by and large been racist for the majority of this country’s history.

Woodrow Wilson is the hero you chose? Here's something this facetious film won't tell you: "During Wilson's term, segregation was ordered in the Washington offices of the Navy, the Treasury, and the Postmaster General, and photographs became required for all new federal job applicants. After black leaders pressed him, President Wilson explained he was trying to 'reduce friction,' and that he 'sincerely believe[d] it to be in their interest.' Under Wilson, racial segregation was quickly implemented at the Post Office Department, and many African-American employees were downgraded and even fired. Employees who were downgraded were transferred to the dead letter office, where they did not interact with the public. The few African Americans who remained at the main post offices were put to work behind screens, out of customers' sight." #LearnHistory
@Jesus Christ It was the Democrats who implemented the trail of tears, it was the Democrats who put millions of innocent Japanese American citizens in concentration camps, it was the Democrats who advocated for Eugenics.
The Democrats protected slavery thinking they did blacks a favor. Woodrow Wilson thought he was protecting blacks from white people when he allowed Jim Crow. The Democrats will always hurt black people unintentionally
@@zachi2901 yes that is a thing, if a black person said Whites are Superior to blacks then even though he is black it is racist against blacks.

Thank you for these two videos! I think they show perfectly how meaningless partisanship is. There is really no such thing as a Democrat or a Republican. Political parties are defined at each moment by their leadership, their voter base, and other key actors they want to draw support from. Maybe we need to recognize that we all want the same thing: a safe humane and thriving environment in which to live and prosper. We might focus on different issues but we have to recognize that the concerns on the other side are just as real. And we might disagree on the methods but on what basis should we start hating and feeling disgust toward each other? Before it's too late we need to re-learn to feel empathy toward the people we strongly disagree with.
We don't all want that. Democrats and Republicans want wealth for themselves so they take money from corporations, keep all other races beneath them in the name of white supremacy

@Awesome Sauce The Democratic Party in the US is now center-right. If it were 'far left' or even left wing, it would have far more support for universal health care and there wouldn't have been nearly as much opposition within it ( including from the Democratic nominee, Joe Biden ) to Bernie's policies. It's just generally too willing to compromise to the status quo.

We did. Tons of us voted for Bernie and our voices were heard. The DNC platform has changed to include a lot of what we want, and we are not stopping there. We are going after local and senate races, and will keep bringing a storm of new and young voices to primaries to ensure that our desires are met over big money. If they want to keep that vote, they are going to have to remove a lot of the money from politics because that money will be used against them for having to listen to their voters.

Every Republican in a modern debate: “Well we freed the slaves” *DEMOCRAP REKT LMAO, AND THEIR LEGITIMATE ARGUMENT FOR THIS MODERN DEBATE IS NOW COMPLETELY INVALID*
Democrats: Okay to make up for our past racism let’s pretend that history didn’t happen by destroying things that remind people of it. Republicans: Life isn’t that simple. Hence why we think you should keep them as reminders of our troubled complicated past. Yes this will embolden some racist. But it’s not governments job to deal with social issues.

For me, I do believe that every child should have the chance to have a life, but it is not for me to decide for whoever is having that child. And statistically speaking abortions usually occur within the first trimester. Only in the case of the health of the mother or the child being in jeopardy are they performed after 23 weeks (Republicans would have you thinking differently). So I'm both pro-life and pro-choice. This comment makes it sounds like everybody out here getting abortions because they're fun.

@@bennettcarlson3974 Technically, as far as the 19th Century stuff is concerned, the Republicans performed the strongest in small-town Protestant America while the Democrats were already powerful in urban areas with high immigrant populations, predominantly Irish and German Catholics back then, with Lincoln himself losing New York City during both presidential runs. A major difference at the time was that the cities hadn’t grown to large enough to dwarf the rest of the states they were in. That all being said, I would agree that the original comment was ridiculously slanted.
The democratic party doesn't necessarily fight for greater economic equality. That may be what they say in their speeches, but looking into many of Obama's economic policies reveals a lack of fundamental difference from the Republicans.
thing is he had to work with them to get anything at all passed. the myth that he had majorities in both houses (over 60 in senate remember because of the filibuster) is just that. sure on paper they had enough but Franken who won wasn't seated for almost a year because they tied it up in court and Ted Kenned in that time got sick and was dying. So they had all of about a week to get something passed and it was the Affordable Healthcare Act that had been watered down by the GOP and crippled by GOP governors after it came out because they wouldn't expand medicare.
A note to the people saying things like "if Democrats knew their history they'd switch parties." No. I am very well aware of the history of the Democrats, yet I don't plan on switching parties. That's because what the Democrats did all those years ago is now irrelevant. Agendas change, and changes are usually more important. People in Germany are well aware of the atrocities committed by their country during WW2, yet I don't see them changing their citizenship. Focusing too much on the past doesn't help solve our current problems.
What do you mean? The Democratic Party in the US now has overwhelmingly the most support from minorities and nominated the first African American US President. Didn't you watch the video?
When you have a lot of people forming their own political parties, you'll see that the democratic system will be fractured and no legislation can be passed as it'll be hard to achieve a majority. Just look at the Weimar government in the 1920s. However that's not to say that having only 2 parties is good. It isn't.
@Coconut Pal My ideals are also mostly pretty Democrat but there are still a few controversial things about the Democratic party that I simply can't agree with. And I don't want someone in DC to say they represent me when they really don't.
Declaration of Independence you should enjoy as an individual grants you that right. Unless you are for being governed by a large government.

That's not how American politics work. American politics are, to put it nicely, a shitshow. There have now been four "party systems" involving the Republican Party and Democratic Party. Parties do not collapse with political landscape changes here like they do in Europe, they simply shift to accompany them.
because democrats want the black vote. They give them false promises and say they support blm. they are trying to make the US mostly black/democratic so they win
That’s factually incorrect. The Democrats are not longer racist, pro-slavery bigots for example. That seems like a pretty big shift to me! And the Republicans are no longer pro-democracy and anti-racist! That’s also a pretty big shift as well!
American Patriot, American Patriot for God and Country, and Second amendment for usernames. Definitely reliable, objective perspectives coming from you😂
A side note: "Democratic" was supposed to be derogatory. The party was actually called the Democratic-Republicans. Opponents called them "Democrats" as an insult since Democracy was seen as mob rule, as opposed to Republic, which are defined by representative rule by law. Wow, has times changed. Now governments strive to be Democratic.
If Vox's video's are to be believed, the Democratic party has always been consistent about one thing. They represent the will of the people. Democracy isn't inherently good or bad. It depends on the population. The people supported slavery in the past, and so the Democratic Party supported that. The people oppose slavery now and so Democratic Party represents that. It really is THAT simple. In a good society, the majority rule will be good. In a bad society, you should oppose the majority.

I do think it’s important to note that despite how terrible Jackson was in most respect he did remove the property requirement from the vote.
for white men only*
@@ivanpcr6732 What he did was still a step in the right direction. Otherwise when black people were finally able to vote, they wouldn't be able to do it because they weren't property owners. Jackson also fought against banks and against the electoral college. He is considered by historians to be "the people's president" for a reason, not the "white man's president". Read up a bit on history and you will see that it is not black and white as you think it is. Abraham Lincoln for example proposed that blacks should be sent back to africa.
He also removed the National debt for two years
@@kevindebruyne4814 comparing hitler and Jackson is a not a good comparison
@@ulyssesgrant4324 I agree with you but I see his point, both were horrible men in history who had full hate and discrimination. You don't have to have a brain to hate Hitler, but it doesn't make sense to me why there are still so many Americans who like Andrew Jackson. He may have done little good for our democracy, but it was only in spite because he lost the election to John Quincy Adams.
I remember some of this, when history was actually taught in school. Didn’t understand all of it, because politics was left out of it.

The civil rights act of 1964 occurred in 1964 an important fact that was highlighted because it demonstrated 4:30 how "segregated" the democrats were on civil rights. The anti-civil rights democrats would become known as "dixie-crats" and ultimately republicans.
A J Lincoln was racist too. You should go look up some of his views. He didn’t even want to abolish slavery if he didn’t have to, he just didn’t want it to expand into new states. 🥴 All this proves to black people like me is that white Americans, regardless of party, have by and large been racist for the majority of this country’s history.

Woodrow Wilson is the hero you chose? Here's something this facetious film won't tell you:
"During Wilson's term, segregation was ordered in the Washington offices of the Navy, the Treasury, and the Postmaster General, and photographs became required for all new federal job applicants. After black leaders pressed him, President Wilson explained he was trying to 'reduce friction,' and that he 'sincerely believe[d] it to be in their interest.' Under Wilson, racial segregation was quickly implemented at the Post Office Department, and many African-American employees were downgraded and even fired. Employees who were downgraded were transferred to the dead letter office, where they did not interact with the public. The few African Americans who remained at the main post offices were put to work behind screens, out of customers' sight."

Thank you for these two videos! I think they show perfectly how meaningless partisanship is. There is really no such thing as a Democrat or a Republican. Political parties are defined at each moment by their leadership, their voter base, and other key actors they want to draw support from.
Maybe we need to recognize that we all want the same thing: a safe humane and thriving environment in which to live and prosper. We might focus on different issues but we have to recognize that the concerns on the other side are just as real. And we might disagree on the methods but on what basis should we start hating and feeling disgust toward each other?
Before it's too late we need to re-learn to feel empathy toward the people we strongly disagree with.

When you have a lot of people forming their own political parties, you'll see that the democratic system will be fractured and no legislation can be passed as it'll be hard to achieve a majority. Just look at the Weimar government in the 1920s. However that's not to say that having only 2 parties is good. It isn't.
@Coconut Pal
My ideals are also mostly pretty Democrat but there are still a few controversial things about the Democratic party that I simply can't agree with. And I don't want someone in DC to say they represent me when they really don't.
@@yesno-xd8bd
True.
Declaration of Independence you should enjoy as an individual grants you that right. Unless you are for being governed by a large government. You as an American individual have the right to remain independent. And nobody will take that from you except people who want more government intervention and control in your life... then you will have that right stripped from you in that case.

How does large government take away my Ideological Individuality?
democrats: we're not racist
also democrats: affirmative action
Hillary better win!
Jimster 101 no
Jimster 101 . She's a sicko. She's too ill to even speak properly or handle debates. She's totally corrupt
roberto Lavin got that from hillary?
If anyone has a brain
Either way, whoever wins is exactly what the American people deserve.
This joke of an election has shown just how stupid they are.
Blacks weren't the only ones affected by these laws...
Yeah, I didn't like Andrew Jackson. My least favorite president in history.
Exactly one of the reasons why he was impeached I don’t like Andrew Jackson either
@@thatweatherman4411 He wasn't impeached. Andrew Johnson, Bill Clinton, and Donald Trump are the only impeached presidents (Richard Nixon was going to be had he not resigned).
Rodney Milner My confusion
How ironic that the party that seceded nominated a black president candidate and went on to become the 44th president 160 years later.
it's call long deserved karma
Yep. They got good
So basically the South has always been racist, interesting. The Democrats and Republicans just swapped names. 😂
Then you have ignorant people always asking why black people always bring up race? This is why, racism is INGRAINED in our government and tbh currently still affects things today.
What they didn't note about Jackson's removal of the Five Civilized Tribes is that it was done AFTER the Supreme Court ruled it was unconstitutional. LOL
It doesn't make a difference if it was ruled unconstitutional or not he did it any way.
That's an a rather bug understatement. But yeah you're right
now that was a perfect infographic-style video
The party's never switched sides because they are constantly changing depending on who is in office
Change my mind
Well that’s just not true becuase the Dems have been center left since the 1920s
Dems would always oppose Confederacy no matter what, so your somewhat wrong
@@okey2884 The Republicans will too so really your argument doesn't contribute at all. I'm talking about the party itself not the people in it.
You can't say that because a few awful people joined the party they changed the entire party. That's just illogical
@@MaxSnowDude You can't be center and left at the same time. You are either center or you are left. In that case republicans are center and right, and really in this age in time it's hard to define either party as completely one thing or another.
@@haxzaw8550 center left just means that you are left of center, but still close to it. It describes a position on the political spectrum, which is called a spectrum for a reason.
The US needs more parties in the Congress and Senate. These other parties might also soak up some of the extreme fringes, who at the moment join the two major parties.
Its like both parties switched
2020 Republicans: racists
2020 democrats: Non racists
Biden 1994 Crime bill targeted minority blacks leading to mass incarceration of millions of blacks.
@@therambler3713 that was 1994 tho im talking about 2020
@@arthurmorgan1542 The crime bill still hasn't been repealed by the "non racists" in 2020.
@@therambler3713the 1994 Crime Bill wasn’t the cause of mass incarceration. REPUBLICAN PRESIDENT Richard Nixon’s War on Drugs was the cause of mass incarceration leading to 1.3 million prisoners prior to 1994. And don’t forget that Republicans tried making the crime bill harsher than it already was.
@@hamzaiqbal7985 it still contributed significantly to mass incarceration. I don't care what Republicans did, I'm not a Republican. I thought Democrats were supposed to do better. But apparently the standard on the left is "Republicans are worse".
After learning about the fall of the Liberal party and the rise of the Labour Party in the UK, it makes me wonder if we're beginning to have a shift in our Democratic party. Towards more Labour ideals
Oh how the tables have turned...
How they switched the Democrat party never changed they just changed there tactics once a racist always a racist
That's not how American politics work. American politics are, to put it nicely, a shitshow. There have now been four "party systems" involving the Republican Party and Democratic Party. Parties do not collapse with political landscape changes here like they do in Europe, they simply shift to accompany them.

What do you mean?
@@eliasziad7864 at the Charleston riot the white supremacy where saying that
because democrats want the black vote. They give them false promises and say they support blm. they are trying to make the US mostly black/democratic so they win
@@mentallyunstable5238 *all votes not just black
Those racists were rejected by all mainstream Republicans. Too bad the mainstream Democrats refuse to reject racism and hate.
Well the party did not have any shift they just changed their methods…🤦🏻♂️
No they changed so did the republicans
@@tbphillips9649 no they did not they changed their method’s.🤦🏻♂️
@@turbokid8719 like what?
@@ulyssesglemao6783 Like bigotry of low expectations.
That’s factually incorrect.
The Democrats are not longer racist, pro-slavery bigots for example. That seems like a pretty big shift to me!
And the Republicans are no longer pro-democracy and anti-racist! That’s also a pretty big shift as well!
This is History from the world of reality. Why so many angry comments against the truth?
hasoevo there are actually a lot of things inaccurate in this video. Exactly white Southern’s going away from the democrats because of race issues
The Democrats are still the party of slavery, they just stopped being racist.
The Democrats hate the constitution because it won't let them enslave people.
American Patriot, American Patriot for God and Country, and Second amendment for usernames. Definitely reliable, objective perspectives coming from you😂

The party is still the same. It’s now against social class and wealth distribution
Right… cause Reagan and Trump were great for the middle class
@@rockdoctor767 like I said it’s rich vs poor
A side note: "Democratic" was supposed to be derogatory. The party was actually called the Democratic-Republicans. Opponents called them "Democrats" as an insult since Democracy was seen as mob rule, as opposed to Republic, which are defined by representative rule by law.
Wow, has times changed. Now governments strive to be Democratic.
If Vox's video's are to be believed, the Democratic party has always been consistent about one thing. They represent the will of the people.
Democracy isn't inherently good or bad. It depends on the population.
The people supported slavery in the past, and so the Democratic Party supported that.
The people oppose slavery now and so Democratic Party represents that.
It really is THAT simple.
In a good society, the majority rule will be good. In a bad society, you should oppose the majority.
