Jim Crow Laws Vs. Nuremberg Laws
Supporting Groups of the Laws
The K.K.K
The KKK would lynch in mobs, have public demonstrations, use internet propaganda, mass mailings, and murder. The members would wear costumes that were to hide their identities and to strike fear to those who would see the events happen. They were considered to be the first terrorist group within America.

The Nazi's
The Nazi's believed in a master race, or an Aryan. They were to be blond, tall, and with blue eyes. In 1933, doctors were allowed to sterilize "inferiors" without consent. (4) They had also shot thousands of Polish jews. Nazi's had confined jews to ghettos where they were starved to death, forced into slave labor, and even sent to death camps. (5) JM
Segregation that occured from the Laws
Segregation in America
The kinds of laws where African Americans were segregated affected almost every inch of their life. Interracial marriages were not allowed in many states, bathing had to be separate, schools were separate, restaurants were separate, buying train tickets were separate, almost everything was separate.

Segregation in Germany
Over 400 rules and regulations restricted all of Jews lives, public and private. Many of these laws were national laws and others were made in their own regions. Hundreds of people within Germany were involved in the persecution of Jews and they supported anti-Jewish regulations. (8) JM

Jim Crow Laws Effects of African Americans
Jim Crow Laws were more than just laws. They became the way of life. They were followed with no question. These laws taught African Americans that they were inferior to whites in all aspects of their life, which results in many problems. This greatly limited African Americans. It was believed that treating African Americans as equals would result in interracial marriages and other behaviors of that manner. Along with Jim Crow Laws came Jim Crow etiquette, which had to be followed as well. Some of these include African American males couldn't shake hands with white males because it implied that they were socially equal and they weren't allowed to show any PDA towards each other because it offended whites. African American males also wouldn't dare offer any part of their body to white women for the fear of being accused of rape. African Americans couldn't ever comment upon the appearance of a white female. They also couldn't laugh at a white person in a way that could be considered mockery. (10) MG
