Today's racism is more sophisticated and subtle than racism in past centuries. It is essential to understand the evolution of racism and how it came to be what it is today. Although the Jim Crow era of racism is gone, the racism in our society is just as effective in racial domination and maintaining the racial status quo.Since the 1960s, there has been the emergence of a new racial structure in the United States. During the Jim Crow period, black people were placed in a subordinate position among whites. The difference today is that racism has a more covert nature than in the past. Yet, if we look at specific areas such as education, residential segregation, and other areas of social life, we can still witness its existence.
