A Basic Definition of Jim Crow laws revisited...

The Jim Crow laws were state and local laws in the US enacted between 1876 and 1965. They mandated de jure racial segregation in all public facilities, with a supposedly "separate but equal" status for Black Americans. In reality, this led to treatment and accommodations that were usually inferior to those provided for white Americans, systematizing a number of economic, educational and social disadvantages. It's very unfortunate that though said Jim Crow laws came to a conclusion in 1965 there's still a shadow of Jim Crow law ideology hovering over the "systemic" mindset in the US.
