Where did racial discrimination come from in America?

Racial discrimination in the United States began in the capitalist colonial era. From 16 19, when the first batch of slaves were sold to the North American continent, the American government began to discriminate against blacks. 1776 The independence declared by the United States is only the independence of whites, excluding blacks, which is also a big stain of the 1787 American Constitution. During the civil war, in order to reverse the situation, the federal government announced the abolition of black slavery, which made blacks gain equal legal status, but it did not change the weak position of black groups. Racial discrimination is still widespread in the United States.

Although the amendment 1865 of the federal constitution of the United States announced the abolition of slavery, slavery did not disappear in the United States. Mississippi did not officially declare the abolition of slavery until March 1995, becoming the last state in the United States to declare the abolition of slavery.

With the legal existence of slavery, apartheid is very popular in the United States. In some parts of the United States, the law even clearly stipulates that blacks and whites should be separated in public places such as buses and restaurants, and blacks must give up their seats to whites. It was not until 1964 that the U.S. Congress passed the Civil Rights Act prohibiting racial segregation and discrimination in public places that the equal rights of blacks were restored in the United States.
