We still have Jim Crow Laws and Black Codes. Do you think it's a coincidence that the War on Drugs started after minorities were granted rights? The new Jim Crow is " we don't hire anyone with a criminal history". The strategy is to criminalize poor desperate people so that the country can remain segregated. Another example is the way immigrants are criminalized.

@KatarraParson This is a white man's country, but just barely and no longer his world. The Asians are taking over but as far as you mention on whites no having to wworry about being judged inferior is true and I agree 100% until lately, since the Asians are taking position. As far as racism being introduced, in history, racism was created to segregate the poor against the planters (1%), and it was done easily because its easy to learn how to hate someone. Just give a reason, no matter how dumb.

@premadonna17 Greed and ignorance... plain and simple... Ignorant whites who wanted to profit off the work and sweat of blacks. I'm glad I wasnt alive to witness any of these horrors... we still have a long way to go in our country towards equality but videos and writings like this show us how far we have come...

@MrBeefinjection I JUST wrote an essay on this! The problem is that it's so ingrained and rooted in this country that racists don't really know why they're racist, and those who experience racism don't really know why they're experiencing it. People need to stop ignoring the past, because the outcome of the past is slapping us in the face everyday.

@Nefus1988 Never in a million years buddy. This is a white man's world (especially the U.S.). White Supremacy runs this country, so whites don't have to worry about being judged as inferior, because we live in a world where white is always right.

@LoveFreckles17 Yeah, that's crazy. I'm still wondering how they changed.

We just finished watching part 1 of a jim crow documentary at school. Its horrible that they used to do these things...
Anyone who disagrees with me, Please reply to me... Telling me why you wouldn't agree? Give me a good reason too. Tell me what we did wrong... Tell me the reason. Don't give me hate. Give me an accurate reason on why we were once treated like this.
