Racial Discrimination
Racism: The belief that a race of people is inferior to another.
Moral racism: The belief that a race of people is morally inferior,
and as such members of that race are deserving of less respect
and concern.
Genetic racism: The belief that a race of people is geneticallyinferior, and as such members of that race are (on the average)
less intelligent, and generally less capable.
These two forms of racism usually go together. However, they are
logically distinct and it is possible for someone to subscribe to oneform of racism without subscribing to the other.
Various practices in the U.S. which have been motivated by racism:

Racial Discrimination
Slavery(treating human beings as disposable property, without rights or
privileges). Practiced mainly in the southern U.S. until the Civil War.
Job discrimination (excluding people from jobs because of their race).
Outlawed at the national level in 1964.
Segregation(in schools, public places, sports, etc.). Public segregation
was outlawed in 1964.
Denial of Voting rights (poll taxes, literacy tests). After the Civil War,
many areas (especially in the South) made it difficult for blacks to vote byselectively imposing literacy tests and other obstacles. This was also
outlawed in 1964, and again in the 1965 Voting Rights Act.
