During the Jim Crow era of 1877 to 1954, the federal government sponsored and supported the racially separate and unequal distribution of resources, including, but not limited to, education, housing, employment, and healthcare. On May 14, 1954, the Supreme Court ruled in Brown v. Board of Education that separate and unequal education violated the Constitution because separate is inherently unequal. Many believed that this ruling, the Civil Rights Acts of 1957, 1960, 1964, 1968, and the Voting Rights Act of 1965 would put an end to the unequal treatment of African Americans in the United States. However, inequalities still exist today because the ruling and the laws did not change the structures of the United States. Specifically, structural racism prevents African Americans from obtaining equal access to resources such as wealth, employment, income, and healthcare, resulting in racial disparities in health. Because racial disparities between African Americans and Caucasians are the most studied in the United States, this article will focus exclusively on how structural racism continues and causes racial inequalities between African Americans and Caucasians in wealth, employment, income, and healthcare, which lead to racial disparities in access to healthcare and health status.

健康状况和获得医疗保健方面的种族差异:由于结构性种族主义,美国的不平等现象继续存在

在1877年至1954年的吉姆克罗时代,联邦政府赞助并支持种族隔离和不平等的资源分配,包括但不限于教育,住房,就业和医疗保健。1954年5月14日,最高法院在布朗诉案中作出裁决。教育委员会认为分开和不平等的教育违反了《宪法》,因为分开是天生的不平等。许多人认为,这项裁决,1957年,1960年,1964年,1968年的民权法和1965年的投票权法将终结美国对非洲裔美国人的不平等待遇。但是,今天的不平等现象仍然存在,因为该裁决和法律并未改变美国的结构。具体而言,结构性种族主义阻碍了非洲裔美国人平等获得诸如财富,就业,收入和医疗保健,导致健康方面的种族差异。由于在美国对非裔美国人与高加索人之间的种族差异进行了最多的研究,因此本文将仅关注结构性种族主义如何继续存在,以及如何在财富,就业,收入和医疗保健方面造成非裔美国人与高加索人之间的种族不平等,从而导致种族歧视。在获得医疗保健和健康状况方面的差异。
