Redlining and racist real estate deed clauses did exist.
The KKK embodies American white supremacy. In 1925 and 1926, 50k white hoods marched down Pennsylvania Ave. 4% (5 million) of Americans were Klan members. There were numerous mass lynchings and murder during the 1919 Red Summer. This was the surfacing of simmering racism because of an influx of Jewish and Catholic refugees from WW I and the increasing household wealth of black people. Somehow, black people, Jews, and Catholics were responsible for all of the ills, lack of wealth, and loss of privilege for the average American white Christian male. Henry Ford was Hitler's hero and wrote antisemitic editorials and books.
In 2023, it's still the case that some social clubs, private preschools, universities, apartment co-ops, and more require photographs with applications because it provides an easy way to discriminate without being openly honest about it. Blackballing (secret ballot cast by colored rocks) is also used to deny people arbitrarily.
