| In conclusion, race has been an influential factor in the organization of US politics and different racial groups have received different advantages and disadvantages by the legal system and its laws. Racial ideologies were used to construct and validate the social hierarchies but the unfair implementation of these same hierarchies also transformed the politics (and our society) over time. The historical analysis by Smith and King within the book shows the complex relationship between race and politics in the US.
