News reporters begun feeding the bias to whites by making crimes done by blacks seem worse and sometimes even making them up.]]> 2016-02-03 10:10:57 UTC https://padlet.com/danielhamze/AmericanJudicialSystem/wish/92839479 danielhamze https://padlet.com/danielhamze/AmericanJudicialSystem/wish/92840328 After the 1890's laws that segregated blacks and whites began to appear. This started in Louisiana, and eventually reached the supreme court. The supreme court allowed this law under the circumstance that it had to be "Equal". After this the blacks were  no longer permitted to drink at the same fountain as the whites, ride on the same train as them, or wait in the same waiting rooms. Although it was intended by the supreme court for everything to be equal it obviously resulted in a bias decision towards the whites.]]> 2016-02-03 10:15:17 UTC https://padlet.com/danielhamze/AmericanJudicialSystem/wish/92840328 danielhamze https://padlet.com/danielhamze/AmericanJudicialSystem/wish/92841152 Soon enough, black citizens were no longer allowed to  vote. In Mississippi, they designed a law that denied the voting rights of whites. Soon enough many southern states begun limiting the blacks who could vote. Whether they payed tax, could read, owned land it became very limited to what blacks could vote that in 1896 only 1% of the black population in america could vote.]]> 2016-02-03 10:19:28 UTC https://padlet.com/danielhamze/AmericanJudicialSystem/wish/92841152 danielhamze https://padlet.com/danielhamze/AmericanJudicialSystem/wish/92841904 It became out of hand that blacks and whites could no longer work in the same places, walk through the same door, gaze out of the same window, and many unions began implementing rules that excluded blacks. Blacks could also no longer live on the same street as whites.  In 1914 Texas had 6 towns that blacks could not live in, and blacks could no longer marry whites. It became so segregated that white would not even see blacks unless they were being served by them]]> 2016-02-03 10:23:25 UTC https://padlet.com/danielhamze/AmericanJudicialSystem/wish/92841904 danielhamze https://padlet.com/danielhamze/AmericanJudicialSystem/wish/92842601 Absurd laws began to appear, such as the "Jim Crow"curfew, and many shops only allowed whites to enter. They began to have black and white parks, phone booths and train stations.]]> 2016-02-03 10:26:59 UTC https://padlet.com/danielhamze/AmericanJudicialSystem/wish/92842601 danielhamze https://padlet.com/danielhamze/AmericanJudicialSystem/wish/92843106

The segregation of blacks and whites became very extreme. Hospitals, pharmacies, schools, and even prisons became black and white segregated. In schools they would not even learn the same material because the whites needed to stay superior. In courts they began to use two law books; one that applied to blacks, and one that applied to whites. If black and white people were relatives they could not even call each other "Brother"

There was a  link between white superiority and Hitler's "Master race" (Segregation between Jews and christians). These two systems were very similar and could not be ignored by the citizens of America, who began to realise that change was needed. In 1948, President Harry Truman took action to promote racial equality. States began to ignore his rules, so he knew he could not abolish racism, but he knew that he could train armed forces to obey his laws.]]> 2016-02-03 10:37:24 UTC https://padlet.com/danielhamze/AmericanJudicialSystem/wish/92844712 danielhamze https://padlet.com/danielhamze/AmericanJudicialSystem/wish/92845588 Racism can never be abolished although schools begun joining. Blacks and whites would start to learn the same material and in the same class. This begun after black parents protested to have there children in white schools. The supreme court agreed and enforced this new law.

Blacks are searched in 6 percent of traffic stops and Hispanics are searched in 7 percent of stops, whereas whites are searched only 2 percent of the time.
