Jim Crow Laws
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.

Why are some laws no longer enforced?
The enforcement of laws is the responsibility of the Attorney General of the US or the State. Prosecutors make decision at a city or county level.
In essence, some of the laws just don't matter any more. Most of the time they aren't going to enforce foul language statutes, though it can happen. No baths on Sundays isn't enforced, but it used to be outlawed in some towns.
If society is accepting the actions, there is no reason to enforce them anymore, but they still could.
How specifically was the Jim Crow system created?
The Jim Crow system had no definite date of creation. The only definite date that can be established is 1919 in Philadelphia. On that date black people in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, pulled out of The Methodist Church and created The African Methodist Episcopal Church. They also separated from the white areas in a number of other areas. In other areas free blacks started their own institutions. There was no de jure segregation. In some places, free blacks had to wear ribbons with the word free on it. Thus, at the start of the Civil War, while segregation did not exist except for slaves, Blacks had removed themselves from the larger society in many areas.
After the Civil War, former Confederate Solders could not vote. Newly freed slaves could vote. A low level civil war broke out between former confederate solders and newly freed black slaves. The Reconstruction also housed Northern Solders in southern houses. Those solders were thugs.
When the former solders regained the vote, and the Federal Government removed its thugs, the new white governments took their anger out on the former slaves and other blacks in the south. So it was at the end of Grant's Administration.
It was created by state legislatures creating black laws, increasing the separation between whites and blacks. Some local communities ran black people out of town at dusk. It was not the same all over. Places, such as Macon, Georgia, where blacks and whites had been interspersed before the Civil War, remained that way.
What law abolished segregation?
The Civil Rights Act of 1964 (brought by JFK, but signed by LBJ) abolished segregation in public accommodations; Voting Rights Act of 1965, signed by LBJ, abolished unfair voting practices (too many to name); and the 24th Amendment, which abolished the poll tax on voting the year before (1964).

Why was the donkey chosen as the symbol for the KKK?
When the first group of KKK wanted to pull the wagon to his house with food, he wanted to know which would go faster. A horse, cow, pig, and a donkey. They put a wagon on there back and they made the animal run and the donkey won. From then on they thought the donkey were smarter then the cow, pig, and horse.
Depth is perceived when each eye provides a slightly different view of the same scene, when there is an overlap in the field of vision. This is known as binocular vision. Birds such as Owls, which have both eyes facing forward, have binocular vision similar to our own, but most nonpredatory birds have eyes whose fields of view do not overlap enough to provide this ability. Instead, their laterally placed eyes give them a wider total view, the better to detect an approaching predator. Scientist believe that to compensate for their lack of binocular vision, some birds bob their heads, thereby viewing the same subject rapidly from different angles.
In many species, eye color changes as the bird matures and can serve as a means of determining an individual's age. For American Crow, it changes from blue or blue-gray to brown. These birds are not color blind.

It was called the Harlem Renaissance.
What did Erasmus Dessiderius to contribute to the Renaissance?
He was one of the greatest scholars of the renaissance time. Erasmus contributed to the Renaissance by revising ancient works and translating them into Greek and Latin such as the Bible. Erasmus also contributed to the Reformation by calling for reform in the Church through his various satirical works. He was a prolific writer and exerted such great influence during his time that he was called "The Prince of the Humanists." When Erasmus was send to Paris, he was not impressed with their educational system. It was based largely on scholasticism, a philosophy that tried to reduce religious belief to logical analysis. Being a devoted Christian, Erasmus decided to spend some time traveling through France and the Netherlands. Beginning in 1499, Erasmus moved from city to city working as a tutor and lecturer, constantly searching out ancient manuscripts and writing. He supported education to a great extent.
These were racial segregation state and local laws enacted after the Reconstruction period in Southern United States that continued in force until 1965 mandating de jure racial segregation in all public facilities in Southern U.S. states, starting in 1890 with a "separate but equal" status for African Americans.
What was the genesis of the Jim crow laws which led to the Louisiana car act of 1890?
I am sorry but your question can't be answered. In 1890 there were no cars so there would be no act. Jim Crow laws took place right after the civil war in response to slaves having rights so the southern states passed laws to prevent the former slaves from equal rights in all areas.
The Supreme Court's decision in Brown v. Board of Education (1954) was a landmark ruling that declared racial segregation in public schools unconstitutional, signaling a strong challenge to Jim Crow laws. Additionally, the executive branch's enforcement of civil rights, particularly through President Eisenhower's deployment of federal troops to Little Rock, Arkansas, in 1957 to enforce desegregation, demonstrated a commitment to dismantling these discriminatory laws. Together, these actions marked significant steps toward challenging the systemic racism entrenched in Jim Crow legislation.
