“Evil Well Financed and Determined: Jim Crow Under Law" Disenfranchisement Laws aka "Jim Crow OCG Hosts, Janice Graham & Dr. James L. Taylor Jim Crow” was developed as a derisive slang term for a Black man. It came to mean any state law passed in the South that established different rules for blacks and whites. Jim Crow laws were based on the theory of white supremacy and were a reaction to Reconstruction. In the depression-racked 1890s, racism appealed to whites who feared losing their jobs to Blacks. Politicians abused Blacks to win the votes of poor white “crackers.” Newspapers fed the bias of white readers by playing up (sometimes even making up) Black crimes and reporting based on Black stereotypes.
