Racism was no where near the magnitude that it was in the past. But there still was a presence. With the gap of the poor and the rich increasing, minorities in the inner cities were the ones deeply effected by this. The growing of the crack cocaine epidemic was accompanyed with an escalation in violence in the black communities as well.
