slavery and "Jim Crow" has been greatly diminished over the last 150 years — especially the last 6 decades.
There has been so much progress, in fact, that a black person was elected President of the United States (twice). The current Vice President is black. In other words, blacks aren't slaves anymore... they're being elected to the highest public offices in the land.
So "racism and the effects thereof" have been greatly diminished since the days of slavery over 150 years ago.
