Why were Southerners successful in using literacy tests to keep African-Americans from voting?

Literacy is knowing how to read, so if you don't know how to read you can't pass a literacy test. It was against the law to educate a slave. A person who doesn't know how to read, think critically, and solve problems makes it easier to keep as a slave. One of the first things Hitler did when he invaded Poland was close the schools and kill the teachers. He wanted the people of Poland to be slaves. It was the same way in American slavery, so the literacy test was a means to keep people from voting even though they had the right to vote.

How do racism effect African-Americans?

The definition of racism is "The prejudice that members of one race are intrinsically superior to members of other races". Such behavior can only bring about discontent among the nation. "Let every man esteem his brother as himself". "Let there be no discord among you". Racism can only bring about hate and envy, and separates people into tribes, to the extent that they will at times act as such, waring with words and at times evil actions. You cannot tell the character of a man by the color of his skin or where he comes from. The main effect of racism or bigotry is to establish one group as superior or dominant over other groups. Racism was and continues to be used to establish and maintain social, economic and intellectual dominance that feeds the egocentric cravings of greedy megalomaniacs. It is a psychological strategy used to manipulate people into accepting their socially assigned inferiority so as to maintain the dominance of the superior class.
