african americans after reconstruction

How is racism today different than racism back then even after reconstruction? I say it still exist but its not how it used to be. Blacks tend to have a lot more rights than back then. And segregation has had big part to do with racism over the years.

List all the methods southern states tried to limit to the power of African Americans? Well for one they tried to make new laws to restrict the civil wars to African Amercians. 2. they tried to test the African Americans mobility to vote. They also tried to change up the foregin languages so if they could vote it wouldnt be in their language. 3. African Americans had to pay a poll tax to vote. 4. It involved alot of segregation. And there were laws used to seperate blacks and whites as long as they were still equal. 5. The decision permitted legalized racial segregation for almost 60 years.
