Who Put Blacks in That PLACE?: The Long, Sad History of the Democratic Party's Oppression of Black Americans.to This Day

It's no secret that institutional racism, segregation, social oppression, and vigilantism characterized the Democratic Party in the Old South for a century after the Civil War.

Tragically, institutional racism continues in the segregated urban centers ruled over by one-party political machines. As a result, millions of Black Americans remain impoverished, poorly educated, unemployed and unsafe in inner city ghettoes to this day. They are denied social mobility and access to opportunity.

Who Put Blacks in That PLACE? pushes back on the Democratic Party's false narrative of civil rights advocacy. It reveals in great detail how de facto racism operates in American cities to this day. It explains how generational welfare dependency took the place of constitutional civil rights. It corrects the misconception of the comparative roles of the Democratic and Republican parties in supporting civil rights.

No prior book on the subject provides more facts and more detail than Who Put Blacks in That PLACE? Many of the factual revelations will be surprising ... some even shocking.

While Larry Horist believes that the American people are not racist, he sees institutional de facto racism as the last vestige of the Democratic Party's long history of racial oppression that has kept Black Americans in a PLACE of secondhand citizenship.
