what was not an effect of racism experienced by african americans at the turn of the twentieth century? forced relocation to northern cities. poverty as a result of sharecropping. violence and death from lynching. segregation enforced by jim crow laws.

Explanation:

• Forced relocation to northern cities: African - Americans moved to northern cities in what is known as the Great Migration, which was a voluntary movement (in search of better economic opportunities and to escape racial discrimination, but not a "forced" relocation in the sense of being physically compelled by the oppressors in the South).
• Poverty as a result of sharecropping: Sharecropping was a system that kept African - American farmers in a cycle of debt and poverty, which was a direct result of post - Civil War racial - economic exploitation.
• Violence and death from lynching: Lynching was a form of racial terrorism used against African - Americans, especially in the South, to enforce white supremacy.
• Segregation enforced by Jim Crow laws: Jim Crow laws legalized racial segregation in public facilities, employment, and education, which was a major manifestation of racism.

Answer:

forced relocation to northern cities.
