Segregation, Effects

Being segregated was very awful and wrong, and then it was a law to be segregated. The blacks could not use the same thing as whites except for public transportation, and when they used that the blacks had to sit in the back of the bus. Black people where restricted from certain areas and institutions during segregation such as; schools, churches, etc. and facilities such as; parks, playgrounds, restaurants, and restrooms. Blacks had to eat in different sections in restaurant, couldn't vote unless African Americans pay poll taxes, had to seat in the back of the bus and if there were not enough seats for whites a black had to give their seat up. If the people were white, not much happened to them when they broke the law. If they were black, they were formally charged, arrested and punished with the full severity of the law. Informally, black men were also beaten and murdered before and after the law had taken its course. Being in jail, so far from being kept safe, was especially dangerous for black men, as it was a convenient place for lynch mobs to get at them. Some were lifted by the Supreme Court in 1965. Being an African American in those times was hard and unjustice. They should not have segregated blacks from whites because they are the same. They was acting like some was wrong with blacks and they did not want it on them or in them.  Seeing people act like is stupid because there is not anything wrong with us blacks.
