http://goo.gl/rAfVZ

Compared to how racism was in the past it is definetly different to how it is today. There still is racism but it is not as in your face as it was in the past. Now schools are not segregated, schools have more racial diversity.We are all allowed to drink out of the same water fountain(; There is racial immigration laws though not as bad as back then. Some people are still prejudice against African Americans but it is not as serious. Back then they believed that they were treating them equally as long as they provided the same service, but the white peoples restaurants, schools, even water fountains were of better quality than the ones for colored people.
