Document Summary
Jim crow laws a system that put black inds in a subordinate racial caste. The fact that some black inds have experienced great success in recent years doesn"t mean that the racial caste doesn"t exist. Jim crow is dead but doesn"t mean another form doesn"t exist. Racism is adaptable: rules and reasons political system employs to enforce status comes in many forms (racial hierarchy) Evolve when challenged: new rules have been justified by new rhetoric, new lang, and new social consensus while produce the same results. Preservation through transformation siegel: white privilege maintained. Through history blacks have been controlled through institutions: adoption of the new system of control is never inevitable but also never avoided. Seeds are planted for new institutions long before they begin to grow. Ie backlash against civil rights movement is defined by the rollback of affirmative action and federal legislation, the seed was mass incarceration during the civil rights movement itself.
