Creative Definition of Terms from Different Articles
As part of this assignment, I highlighted and presented key terms from the provided
articles. These terms will include racism, systemic racism, structural racism, institutional racism,
black codes, and cotton gin.
Members of racial and ethnic minority groups are subjected to a variety of oppressive
social structures, interpersonal communication, and dominant group beliefs in order to
marginalize, trivialize, and deny equitable access to resources. When people mention "systemic
racism," they are referring to the way racism is institutionalized and tolerated in society. Power
structures like this, for example, support the criminal justice and health care systems. Structural
racism occurs when one group is given advantages over another.
Racism at both the personal and institutional levels contribute to the dissemination of
systemic racism. Because of institutional racism, also known as structural racism, some social
groups are given advantages over others. When racism becomes institutionalized, it pervades all
aspects of a given institution, from criminal justice to health care.
The black code was a set of local and state laws that governed the conditions under which
previously enslaved individuals could find work, as well as the minimum wage and maximum
number of hours they could work. The codes spread throughout the South as a sanctioned
method of enslaving Black citizens, limiting their freedom of movement and residence, and
abducting children for use in child slavery. Eli Whitney invented the cotton gin, a simple piece of

machinery that separated the fibers from the seeds quickly and easily. It did not take long for his
invention to be imitated, and within a few years, the South had switched from mass-producing
tobacco to cotton, cementing its reliance on slave labor even further.
