What's the difference between conscious and unconscious racism?

Conscious racism is to be aware, intentional, and responsive in your discrimination against a certain race. An example of this would be if you were in charge of a company and never hired any person of colour just because you believe they are below other skin colours.

Unconscious racism is being unaware or performing some racist act or comment without realizing. Examples of unconscious racism are social stereotypes, believing that an entire group (in this case an entire race) acts or behaves a certain way. Social stereotypes allows individuals to represent a group as a whole.

abraham lincoln, according to anyone who was connected with agriculture, represented the worst of northern politicians. shortly after lincoln was elected, south carolina seceded from the union. they along with other southern states, retained their anger. in a way, it was their own fault: the democrats were split in the south. some wanted slavery to be extended in other states that were about to join the union and some didn't want it badly enough. lincoln had a solid backing from his party: the republicans were united in not wanting slavery to be expanded.
