Talk:Jim Crow laws

Semi-protected edit request on 26 May 2025

I request for the Nuremberg Laws to be added to the See also section, since the Nuremberg Laws were inspired by the Jim Crow laws. 2A0A:EF40:1231:A801:595F:AC68:EB71:C55 (talk) 18:14, 26 May 2025 (UTC)

 Not done: As was pointed out to you the last time you requested this, there is already a link to the Nuremberg Laws in the article, so there is no need to link to them again in the See also section. Day Creature (talk) 07:26, 27 May 2025 (UTC)

If your concern is only the Nuremberg Laws, I would first provide further summative content on the 1934 drafting sessions. There are monographs that evaluate individual citations to, and entire session discussions about, Heinrich Krieger's memorandum (the basis of Race Law in the United States), during sessions spearheaded by Franz Gürtner and Bernhard Lösener. Elaboration on these secondary sources would likely further your cause. Regardless, editors and users may or may not be more amenable to "See Also" Racial policy of Nazi Germany, given eugenics and the extant subsection in that article. I'll add it once I finish this article's International subsection...or another editor or user does. This would also (likely) further your cause, as the content of a number of Wikipedia articles do not yet accurately reflect the prevailing historiography on the transmission of Jim Crow precepts into Nazi racial policy. That said, most of the articles on Eugenics in the United States already include sections or subsections on Nazi eugenics (and vice-versa), so perhaps race laws should be reconceived as a starting point.

The appropriation of the apartheid-imposed "Coloureds" as a stratified collectivity against "less [rights] than White people...but better than Black Africans" was eroded by anti-apartheid "Black People" solidarity during the 1980s. In the present day, the reclassification of "Coloureds" as "Black People" has expectedly or unexpectedly contributed to a "not Black enough" ideology stemming from the anti-apartheid movement. See, for example, Amanuel Isak Tewolde, "Self-identification in post-Apartheid South Africa: The case of Coloured people in Johannesburg, South Africa" Social Sciences & Humanities Open (Vol. 9: Spring 2024), 1-9.

I request the reference about where the term Jim Crow comes from be switched to a reference that is not paywalled, perhaps like ? ANormalHuman12 (talk) 23:30, 22 October 2025 (UTC)

If this is not possible because of Wikipedia:Reliable sources, instead add the indicator that this reference is paywalled. ANormalHuman12 (talk) 23:32, 22 October 2025 (UTC)

I didn't see the 'request edit' button as I went directly to the talk page instead of the view source page.

To put this in a more specific format, change footnotes 1 and 14, which are both
