The Jim Crow laws were the unfair laws that oppressed blacks after the reconstruction period. This is in reference to the modern day oppression of African Americans that is present today with the racial profiling on African Americans used by the police. Both are unfair and acts of racism on the African Americans.

During the Jim Crow period there were separate hospitals for blacks and whites, separate prisons, separate public and private schools, separate churches, separate cemeteries, separate public restrooms, and separate public accommodations. In most instances, the black facilities were grossly inferior-older, smaller, less-well-kept, and less conveniently located.

Jim Crow started out as a fictional character in a play made by Dartmouth Rice. "In 1828 Rice appeared on stage as "Jim Crow" -- an exaggerated, highly stereotypical black character." As this character, he would act as a singing, dancing, grinning fool. "By 1838, the term "Jim Crow" was being used as a collective racial epithet for blacks." More and more, Jim crow was being used as an offensice racial slur. "By the end of the 19th century, the words Jim Crow were less likely to be used to derisively describe blacks; instead, the phrase Jim Crow was being used to describe laws and customs which oppressed blacks."
