quotes about underestimating people by simply ignoring their potential.

"You see, the most likely way to look at it, it involves asking what kind of person you think an African American should be." -- John Jay

A popular, but very misguided, suggestion that the media's lack of attention toward African American people may actually limit white achievement is that of Jim Crow segregation. To many African Americans, these laws were built on a foundation of fear and humiliation — a theory that failed to fully account for African Americans' social and racial disadvantages.

Today, there are few such examples. That doesn't mean that we need to revisit them in these pages, in particular the many historical chapters, including the infamous segregated South. But one, perhaps more important, is it is important to recognize it is difficult to change or even to reverse the practices that made these laws possible. They existed, and they continue to exist, because our culture has become so normalized.

Historically, there have been multiple narratives about how "the South" came to be. And there is often an undeniable cultural and social change through that change.

But that doesn't mean we should abandon those narratives altogether. The history of racism is vast. There is an overwhelming body of research suggesting that racial identity and gender disparities have long been the underlying cause of the United States' "diversity crisis."

The fact that these inequalities are rampant isn't simply about personal, political, or economic power
