Study History and You’ll Never Spend a Day Working Because it Doesn’t Support Capitalism

Ngl this is what every single one of you fucking liberals calling me out about my substandard research practices makes me feel .
I would expect somebody who grew up in the South to be more likely to have heard about Jim Crow than somebody who grew up in some supermajority-white place like the mountain west or whatever.
My thinking was the people in the South would be more likely to have learned a "toned down" version, and less likely to remember details.
Definitely just my personal experience from living in Oklahoma, idk if like Alabama or Mississippi are the same.
Hey that's where I'm from. But even I remember touching on Jim Crow laws in grade school, and coming back to it in more depth in highschool. So I don't mean to be the "nothing's real on the Internet" guy, but I do find it hard to believe that the term "Jim Crow" didn't even ring a bell for the reporter. But idk, there's lots of stupid people in high places, so I won't doubt that it happened either.
