What is Jimmy Crow?
1: Ethnic discrimination especially against African Americans and Black children by systemically racist institutions, including, but not limited to failing to return or reunite children with their biological relatives in the child welfare system and/or excessive legal enforcement in the criminal justice system.
2: Disparaging and offensive treatment of Black and Brown families by the systems that are supposed to be supporting and protecting them with or without malicious intent.
The child welfare system has engaged in systemically racist practices and procedures and should be formalized as Jimmy Crow as a nod to past echoes and current underpinnings.
