During the Jim Crow era, whites harbored deep-seated prejudices against blacks due to a combination of historical factors, including slavery, economic competition, and societal beliefs in racial superiority. Many whites feared that granting rights to blacks would threaten their social status and economic opportunities. Segregation laws were enacted to enforce racial separation and maintain white dominance, reflecting a desire to preserve the existing social order. This systemic racism was perpetuated through cultural, political, and economic means, fostering a cycle of discrimination and oppression.
