Abstract
America has a long history of racism and discrimination against its Black community. One has to keep in mind the centuries long history of slavery which came to an end only over one century ago in the South. It is also necessary to remind of how close to us is the end of segregation, as its abolition dates from less than fifty years. Jim Crow racism is fortunately no longer accurate nowadays. However, these obvious and official discrimination against Blacks did not vanish in one day and Blacks are still discriminated against in many ways which for most of them stem from this short-term and long-term past. First and foremost remain mentalities. Not talking about openly racist behaviors or sayings such as those of Bill Benett lately, whites and Blacks' minds remain biased by centuries of unequal relations.
