Question

How can we explain how the U.S. government and state governments could endorse institutional racism or how was it allowed to happen?

Answer 1

Well Institutional racism, also known as systemic racism, is a form of racism that is embedded in the laws and regulations of a society or an organization.

So, the government would have to make a law against an race.

EXAMPLE

A law saying white and black people can't go to Walmart®
