Racism during the Jim Crow era led to African Americans being banned from most public places.

Although laws were put into place to eradicate racism, many blacks were still stopped from voting through scare tactics and undercover operations.

Racism has deeply manifested itself in the community, with many whites looking down on their minority neighbors.

Although racism is a problem all over the nation, discriminatory acts against African Americans seems to be more acceptable in the south.

Racism by an employer is prohibited by federal law and if discriminatory actions based on one’s race can be proven, the company can be sued and fined.
