How is Racism today different than racism practiced immediately after reconstruction?
racism today is different because it is not really in your face. Before they would do racist things right in front of you and it wouldn't matter what you thought. for example before they had an idea of "separate but equal". the equal part was not true though. they created laws to keep the African-Americans separate from the whites like in schools or a play. they also tried to keep African-Americans from voting by adding the poll tax and the Grandfather Clause. today racism is not as noticeable like before.
