Which amendments of the constitution protect the rights of women African Americans?
The 15th amendment allowed African American males to vote, and the 19th amendment gave women the right to vote. Native Americans were not considered citizens until 1924, so they did not have the right to vote until then. Even after 1924, some states restricted Native American voting rights based on whether or not they paid property taxes. This discrimination continued until the 1950s. Though African American males were guaranteed the right to vote by the 15th amendment, and African American women by the 19th, many legal and social barriers were quickly created to impede actual voting. These barriers were made illegal in the Civil Rights Act of 1957. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 made all racial discrimination and segregation illegal.

What states or countries still support racism against African Americans?
Considering that African-American is an exclusively US American term, the only country involved could be the United States. While de jure discrimination against African-Americans has basically been eradicated, there are numerous indicators of de facto discrimination against African-Americans. For example, in the 2012 Presidential election, several states were trying to require that people present evidence to vote or to curtail the use of absentee ballots. Both of these measures unfairly target African-Americans since many of them use public transportation and thus lack driver's licenses. Additionally, since many of them work multiple jobs, they do not always have the time to go to the polling stations, making absentee ballots necessary. Also the incarceration rate for African-Americans is exceptionally high, which is more of a statement about anti-African-American discrimination than "African-American proclivity to criminal activity".If you just mean Blacks in general, there are several countries in the Sahel region of Africa (especially Sudan) which actively engage in the illegal buying and selling of Black Slaves.
