Although the Civil Rights Act of 1964 outlawed explicit discrimination, institutional racism persists because laws, policies, and their implementation produce racially disparate outcomes: historical practices like redlining, segregated schooling, biased policing and sentencing, unequal access to credit and employment, and weak enforcement of civil‑rights protections continue to reproduce inequality. Moreover, implicit bias and ostensibly neutral policies (zoning, standardized tests, algorithmic decision‑making) create systemic barriers that maintain unequal outcomes despite formal legal equality.
