Racist Campaign Poster - The Two Platfor...

A racist political campaign poster from the 1866 Pennsylvania gubernatorial election. The poster specifically characterizes Democratic candidate Hiester Clymer’s white supremacist platform as “for the White Man,” represented here by the idealized head of a young man. In contrast a stereotyped black head represents Clymer’s opponent John W. Geary’s platform, “for the Negro.”

Wow, amazing how this was considered acceptable at one time. Also amazing how the Democrat Party went from `anti-negro` to a party to specifically fight for black people in a span of a 100 years.
