the reason why the filibuster was a relic of jim crow was because the filibuster abuse started in the late 1940's, early 1950's against the passage of the civil rights act. this is why dems considered it racist. it was them who were doing the filibustering back then. Strom & Byrd were active filibusterers during the 1940s 1950s & 1960s.
that said. the filibuster was never part of jim crow. it only became one when the segregationists used it.
