"We whites created slavery, Jim Crow segregation and contemporary racial discrimination over 400plus years now," Feagin said. The primary reason for uprooting racial discrimination from our society is that it is morally wrong.The tenor of his speeches make it pretty clear he opposed all forms of racial discrimination. How do you believe that the two laws that prohibited segregation and racial discrimination in voting changed the lives of African Americans? To end discrimination in housing, education, employment, and lending, nondiscrimination laws needed to be enacted and scrupulously enforced. An example of direct discrimination would be refusing to admit a student because of their race. Poll taxes and literacy tests hampered African Americans from voting in the aftermath of the Civil War. If you believe you are facing discrimination in the workplace, you are not alone. Discrimination may take many different forms. For example, it may take place in a direct way.
