How did Americans feel about racism and intolerance in the 1920's?

The 1920s was a time of tension in relations between whites and blacks and between Americans who practiced the traditional "moral code" and those who rejected them. The Great War exposed black American troops to a white society. When they returned from the war, they found their situation as second class citizens still part of American society. Race riots broke out in several major cities with the most costly being in Chicago where 38 people were killed before it was over. Marcus Garvey and W.E.B. DuBois preached "Black Nationalism" during the 20s. The KKK reached the height of its power during the decade, with a march in Washington, D.C. in 1924 that included many high ranking politicians. The KKK was a major power in the Democratic Party. The Congress also passed the most discriminatory immigration law to date during the 20s. People associated foreigners from central and eastern Europe as communists or anarchists.

What theory did Harvard professor Louis Agassiz aim to prove in his study of South Carolina slaves?

Sadly, for an educated man, Louis Agassiz believed in ideas that we today would consider racist. He firmly believed that Africans (and American blacks as well) were born inferior to whites, and that science could support white supremacy. He also wrote "scholarly" articles about the innate superiority of the white race. In fairness, his views were common for that era (1850-1890), but that doesn't make them any easier to read today. I enclose a link to an interesting essay that shows some examples of Professor Agassiz's theories.

How does The Little Prince relate to racism?

I assume you are referring to the Science-Fiction opus by St.Exuperby dealing with the chance encounter between a French airman and the alien in some desert parts of North Africa (presumaby during WW-2) The Alien hails from Asteroid B-6l2 it is funny but 6-l2 is a popular spray-on pesticide, maybe M. St.Exuperby had a can of this stuff inhhis survival kit! The Alien is white. I don"t think the story in any way relates to racism but possibly tolerance and peace. I have long believed this was the remote progenitor or prototype of ( I Dream of Jeannie) which mroe sensibly had a female character-wpuldn"t that be more like what a downed airman would want? There are a number of similarities. I got the drift that M St.Exuperby might have been a (Homo) by making the alien character (and he was writing for a mixed audience) male instead of say an extraterrestrial Anastasia type- ah the Little missing Princess, that is more like it. I don"t6 like his metaphors, Hallmark card rhapsodies rather than Horsepower and say, Rato boost Onn! Now we are moving! To each his own, I thought the tale had Gay overtones, as do some comic strips (Top Cat, for one)

What do you do if the S for sport is blinking green on a 1990 Honda Accord 2.2 and will not stop?

This is an possible indication of a transmission problem. Take it to a professional. More than likely its your speed sensor. Its on the transmission and is triangular in shape. I tried to reset the speed sensor, by pushing the Sport button on the gear shifter before starting the car, and that automatically resets the speed sensor, turn off engine after one minute of idle. Release button on the shifter and restart the car. Blinking should stop. If not go to your mechanic and replace speed sensor.
