African-American after Reconstruction

How is racism today different than racism practiced immediately after Reconstruction?

Before racism was always in front of you and it not matter who was in there. The aldn't pay the tax frican American people couldn't vote before since the white people put a litercy test and make it harder for the color people, like making the question harder or making the test in another language.
Another one was the poll tax since the color people didn't have high payment like white people and it was a racism legal, even if a white person couldn't pay the tax or the test they let him vote if one of his             ancestors have vote.  http://goo.gl/qnelr
They took out the pool tax law but later on they make "separate but equal" that make color people and white people would be treaded equal, but it wasn't true the color people still was treaded  bad but it was more hide every time.
