How did prejudice and discrimination affect the development of sociology in America in the late

19th and early 20th centuries?

Black and white cultures developed separately from each other, the separation created a stigma for either race toward the other, as a subject of the taboo. There was a constant tension, a relationship that bred whites to feel superior and blacks to feel inferior. It also heavily affected literature, music, and art for both races - leading to "White Man's Burden", "Uncle Tom's Cabin", as well as the explosion of new styles of music coming from the black newly freedmen/women of the south. It was a terrible and but extremely influential and creative period for black culture.
