How Jim Crow Laws Shaped the Third Reich and ICE's Deportation Tactics

from Political Bear Nation · host brownchubbybear

On June 5th, 1934, a group of German legal scholars sat down to write laws that would later become the Nuremberg Laws: laws targeting Jews and other marginalized groups. But what inspired them? They looked to the American South. The Jim Crow laws, in place for nearly a century, provided a blueprint for racial classification, segregation, and second-class citizenship.In this video, we'll explore the disturbing history connecting Jim Crow America, fascist Germany, and modern immigration policies. From the origins of Jim Crow entertainment and legal apartheid, to the one-drop rule, blood laws, and citizenship restrictions, you’ll see how these racist systems influenced the world, and how these policies appear in today’s ICE detention centers and immigration enforcement.Watch the video on YouTube
