Jim Crow Laws were in existence from about 1875 to 1965. The filibuster came into existence in 1806, was first used in 1837, and was changed to a 60% rule in 1975. The change to the current silent filibuster was gradual since 1975. None of those dates line up with the Jim Crow Laws.
*sigh* There's nothing more ignorant than a democrat desperately trying to rewrite history.
The filibuster is a racist remnant of a Senate designed to entrench white minority rule. It undermines organizing, participation, and electoral victories fueled by Black and Brown communities.

Upholding Jim Crow: Anti-Lynching and Anti-Poll Tax Bills
During the brief but transformative period of Reconstruction that followed the Civil War, Black Americans built unprecedented political power in state legislatures and Congress. Almost immediately, Southern senators turned their obstructionist sights to blocking Black Americans from exerting governing power. State lawmakers across the South created a set of violent voter intimidation and suppression schemes to keep Black men from exercising their fundamental right to vote—and Southern senators in Washington, D.C. used the filibuster to ensure Jim Crow endured as the law of the land in the South.
For example, after Reconstruction, the filibuster was used for nearly 75 years to enshrine Jim Crow practices, particularly by blocking anti-lynching and anti-poll tax legislation. Jim Crow was nothing less than a legal and social means to intimidate, disenfranchise, and kill Black Americans with impunity, and lynchings and disenfranchisement of Black Americans were integral to that strategy.
The first anti-lynching bill in Congress was introduced in 1900 by Congressman George Henry White of North Carolina, then the country’s only Black member of Congress.
16 In 1922, Congressman Leonidays Dyer of Missouri built on White’s leadership, presenting what could have been the first successful anti-lynching bill. Worked on and supported by the NAACP, the robust legislation called for fines upwards of $10,000 to the county where a lynching occurred, federal prosecution of the state and county officials who were negligent in seeking justice, as well as federal murder charges for participants in a lynching.
17 In a 1921 public address in Birmingham, Alabama, Warren G. Harding became the first sitting president to formally speak out against lynching and advocate for Black American civil rights.
