To their everlasting credit, these men wouldn't cross the picket line & joined the union. Then Italian immigrants were brought in. Again, these men joined the union. From this time forward, the typical coal town had three neighborhoods: native white, immigrant white & black.<br /><br />When the miners finally won the right to union, the major concession that John Lewis had to make was allowing mechanization. This resulted in the need for fewer minors, so unsurprisingly, it was the blacks who were let go. Many of them chose to continue north & seek work in the auto industry. When the white workers discovered that the owners were willing to hire big, strong black men they rioted, attacking the black neighborhood.<br /><br />The real reason for the so called white flight from the cities was the racism of the whites, who were unwilling to accept black co-workers.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9198792767248747350.post-47782987419965983762015-05-02T21:31:17.375-05:002015-05-02T21:31:17.375-05:00Since I'm all guns, all the time:
Black Codes...Since I'm all guns, all the time:<br /><br /><a href="http://jpfo.org/articles-assd02/cramer-racist-roots.htm" rel="nofollow">Black Codes adopted after the Civil War required blacks to obtain a license before carrying or possessing firearms or Bowie knives; these are sufficiently well-known that any reasonably complete history of the Reconstruction period mentions them. These restrictive gun laws played a part in the efforts of the Republicans to get the Fourteenth Amendment ratified, because <b>it was difficult for night riders to generate the correct level of terror in a victim who was returning fire.</b>[28] It does appear, however, that the requirement to treat blacks and whites equally before the law led to the adoption of restrictive firearms laws in the South that were equal in the letter of the law, but unequally enforced. It is clear that the vagrancy statutes adopted at roughly the same time, in 1866, were intended to be used against blacks, even though the language was race-neutral</a><br /><br />..."the Act was passed for the purpose of disarming the negro laborers and to thereby reduce the unlawful homicides that were prevalent in turpentine and saw-mill camps and to give the white citizens in sparsely settled areas a better feeling of security. The statute was never intended to be applied to the white population and in practice has never been so applied." (Florida Supreme Court Justice Buford)<br /><br />You should read the linked article, especially the parts about the Deacons for Defense, basically citizens acting as bodyguards for CORE, Martin Luther King and other civil rights activists, when law enforcement refused.
