A discussion of state and locally legislated segregation laws that were enacted between 1876 and 1965 that proposed the factually unbalanced idea of "separate but equal" public facilities such as busing, schools, restaurants and entertainment venues, and other aspects of daily life for African-Americans.

In what states is blackface performance currently legal?
it's not illegal anywhere, but it is generally considered offensive, the way that any other deeply stereotyped racial presentation is considered offensive. If you watch very old movies (films from the 1920s and 1930s) you'll see off-color depictions of many races (particularly Africans, Chinese, Italians, American Indians, and the Irish, which were all prominent subcultures in that era) performed by white actors. Blackface stands out primarily because of the particular tension in the US between whites and blacks, and the dramatic makeup needed to carry off the effect.
interestingly, blackface did not begin as a form of mockery, but was a theatrical motif used to represent blacks in plays and entertainments in a society where only whites could be actors or entertainers. After the emancipation, however, it could only be seen as a form of regressive social commentary.

How can a civil judgment be enforced in South Carolina?
Methods for collecting a judgment are the levy of bank accounts, seizure and sale of non exempt property belonging to the judgment debtor, or a lien against real property belonging to the debtor, in some cases including the debtor's share of property that is jointly owned. If none of the above methods are viable in enforcement of the judgment the judgment creditor can obtain a wage garnishment. Also, in rare cases the judgment creditor can request the court to order a forced sale of real property to satisfy the debt owed.
Actually, in SC the only debt that they can garnish wages for is child support.

Plain and simple, it was fear on the part of the white community. The black community was becoming middle class which was something that the white community could not deal with. The Jim Crow laws were designed to "keep them in their place", much as the Irish segregations had done. Any time that there is an unknown factor in society, the majority will react with fear and suppression. Examples such as the Indian laws, the female restrictions of the early 1900's, and the Irish restrictions are typical reactions of the majority trying to remain in the upper places of power. Yes, the North won the war and slavery was abolished. But that doesn't mean inequality was abolished. Blacks weren't seen as being equal to whites. It was extremely hard for a black person to receive the rights as a white person. The North was better for blacks, but it still didn't provide total equality.
The South was extremely bitter about losing to the North. They were also bitter that under the supremacy clause in Article VI of the U.S. Constitution they had to uphold the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments, sometimes called the Civil Rights Amendments. To counteract this bitterness the South started Jim Crow laws. Southern politicians said that Jim Crow laws didn't violate any civil rights since the facilities were separate-but-equal. This segregation took place in public facilities, including public transportation and bathrooms, as well as in schools. Naturally, places like parks and churches, though not segregated by law, became segregated as well since there was this notion that segregation was okay.
Democrat politicians, such as Woodrow Wilson, fueled this segregation by appointing officials that supported segregation. Often times blacks weren't allowed to register with the Democrat party. Coupled with the fact that most southerners were Democrats and wanted the rights of blacks to be taken away, Democrat politicians were re-elected and would continue to allow segregation to occur.
It wasn't until cases like Brown vs. Board of Education that segregation was deemed unconstitutional and it was eventually abolished.
It was called the Harlem Renaissance.
I don't believe you can determine that all i know is that for thousands of years when white people mixed with black people if you looked black just a little you was considered black. only because Black Dominate white genetically any scientist who studies Genetics will tell you that. the Genes are stronger genetically.
The only sure way is genetic testing.
