So for exemple if someone got on with a minor at the past, or if someone was openly racist in the 50s, would they be jailed now if they were alive, or do laws apply to the time you commited the crime?

Just a random point, racism isn’t a crime (in the US). Racism is an opinion and as such can not be legislated. It can make people not associate with you for sure. But, racism in the absent of another crime can not be charged. People who are openly racist today can not be arrested for it. Discrimination is a crime, which is denying a public service on the basis of race.
