Additionally, after World War II, many African Americans left the South and moved up North, which caused numerous other issues with discrimination.  Many whites felt inferior in their presence because they feared they were going to steal their jobs. Although many great programs were given to colored people to find their capabilities and give them a “normal” life, society still managed to demoralize the African population. For instance, the WPA (Works Project Administration) “required eligible employees not have refused any private sector job at the "prevailing wage" for such jobs” (Race in the 1930’s). In other words, the white population were eligible for jobs, while blacks were not because of their color. To make matters worse, Africans already has a lower wage than any white person, leaving most of them broke. All in all, this created a ludicrous cycle of discrimination that would continue to develop as history moved on.

Another practice that supported the idea of racism and discrimination was found in African American’s work system. Discrimination was often used to prevent African Americans from getting jobs. For example,  “By 1932 black Americans had a 50 percent unemployment rate compared to 25 percent in the U.S. population in general. With unemployment escalating, jobs previously considered "Negro occupations" suddenly became attractive to the larger population.” (Black Americans 1929-1941) In other words, when the unemployment rate increased in America during the Great Depression, jobs previously completed by African Americans suddenly increased for whites and decreased for blacks. Although this is not completely a practice, it is still considered segregation because it clearly deprives a group of peoples’ rights away.

Another way the United States Government was unjustified to African Americans was its strict segregation laws. These laws divided two races from sharing houses, restrooms, schools, and other services. Although this may seem very absurd, many Southerners agreed that people of color were lesser than them in terms of status. For instance, “the Federal Home Loan Bank Board and the Home Owners' Loan Corporation conspired to create maps with marked areas considered bad risks for mortgages in a practice known as “red-lining.” The areas marked in red as “hazardous” typically outlined black neighborhoods” (Segregation in the United States). This kind of mapping, therefore, concentrated poverty into the black population; meaning they either had no access to money for they had to pay exorbitant fees for loans.
