Jim+Crow+Life

It said that they could not deprive a person from life. Due process is a series of steps before it can be official. Equal protection means that whites and African Americans get the equal protecion from the police. It said that a black person has to be in designated places because some whites don't believe that they are equivalant to them so they don't want them to go to the same places that the whites go to. This really impacted the nation in that there started being lots more of segregation of blacks and whites. They were equal but treated different, that's what the court says. Jim Crow was a lyric from a song called "Daddy Rice". He did not write laws because he was a lyric in a song. =**[|Jim Crow Laws LINK 1]  / [|Jim Crow Laws LINK 2] / [|Jim Crow Laws LINK 3] / ****[|Jim Crow Laws Link 4]**= There was a colored waiting room,relationships between whites and blacks were no good, and neither was playing with each other (like dice, cards, baseball etc.). Schools shall also be segregated. Black man coudln't shake white mans hand, couldn't eat together, and black male couldn't offer to light white female cigarette. No interracial baseball teams, no black person could be buried on the same ground of a white person. I think that last is the worst because their all dead what does it matter if they are next to each other. Jim crow was very segragated in the 1900s and balcks pretty much had a law on everything they did. [] This picture shows that there wasn't just all white theatres but there were all blacks which I think is pretty cool. [] I like this one because you can see the blacks waiting and you can see a black hand in the back of the bus, so that is two Jim Crow Laws. Nine young men were convictded of rapping two girls in Alabama.This cased really pissed me off because everyone knows that these young men did not commit this crime of rapping these two young ladies. Yet they still got in trouble and were falsely charged and it made whites think even less of the blacks if thats even possible. Because my life during the Jim Crow America was so racial and there was so much tension between the two races. We were treated so bad and given the worst stuff like clothes, restraunts, and areas of living and people that believe that Jim Crow America was good all I have to say is "Shame on you".
