No study of Black people in America can be complete without
considering how openly discriminatory tax laws helped establish a
racial caste system in the United States, how they were designed to
exclude blacks from lucrative markets and the voting franchise, and
how tax laws extracted and redistributed vast sums of black wealth.
Not only was slavery nearly a 100% tax on black labor, so too was
Jim Crow apartheid and tax laws specified the peculiar institution
as "negro slavery." The first instances of affirmative action in
the United States were tax laws designed to attract white men to
the South. The nineteenth-century Federal Tariff indirectly
redistributed perhaps a majority of the profits from slavery from
the South to the North and is the principle reason the Confederate
states seceded. The only constitutional amendment obtained by the
Civil Rights Movement is the Twenty-Sixth Amendment abolishing poll
taxes in federal elections. Blending traditional legal theory,
neoclassical economics, and a pan-African view of history, these
six interrelated essays on race and taxes demonstrate that, even in
today's supposedly post-racial society, there is no area of human
activity where racial dynamics are absent.
