Why Are The Jim Crow Laws Unfair
Segregation, slavery, and race, the following terms have a tremendous impact int early history. Another super important thing people rarely know about is a set of state and local laws that enforced racial segregation in the southern united states. The set of racial laws were obviously led by white state legislators. These are called Jim Crow laws. The jim crow laws deprived American citizens from their civil rights and put to equality to question. These practices deprived the citizens because they didn't have freedom, making it really unfair.
Firstly, one of the laws that were set to deprive Americans rights were, schools for white children and the schools for negro children shall be conducted separately(Florida 7). This law states that white
and negro children are not allowed to be taught at the same school. This is a reason of being deprived from their civil rights because maybe the negro children will be taught different because of their skin color.
Secondly, another law that deprives social independence is, all marriage between a white person and a negro, or between a white person and a person of negro descent to the fourth generation inclusive, are hereby forever prohibited(florida 6). This statement basically means that no white and black person can get married and reproduce. This is an example of depriving rights because you should be allowed to have the freedom to marry whoever you want. During these days people are allowed to date and marry whoever you want of any race.
Lastly, the last piece of evidence showing that American citizens were deprived of their rights was, no person or corporation shall require any white female nurse to nurse in wards or rooms in hospitals, either public or private in which negro men are placed. This statement is telling me that white nurses cannot help negro patients(Alabama 1). This is absurd because no matter what skin color, race, and facial features no one should be prohibited from getting the help they need. I also think that some people who didn't care about inequality, gave the patients poor service.
In conclusion the jim crow laws are a set of laws that segregate the two races apart. I totally disagree from this because it's obviously unfair and wrong.
