Why was segregation still practiced in the southern states despite the passage of constitutional amendments prohibiting segregation following the civil war?
Racial segregation in the United States, as a general term, included the racial segregation orhypersegregation of facilities, services, and opportunities such as housing, medical care, education, employment, and transportation along racial lines. The expression refers primarily to the legally or socially enforced separation of African Americans from other races, but can more loosely refer to voluntary separation, and also to separation of other racial or ethnic minorities from the majority mainstream society and communitity.
Examples of Segregation?
There are two types of segregation. The first type is called de jure segregation. De jure means segregation because of a law, mandate, or forced reason. Examples of this are aparthied, and different schools for different races. The other type is de facto. De facto is because its how we're wired. It's like blacks sitting on one side, and Hispanics on the other side of a room, just because those are their friends. It is not forced. Examples of this are dating people only in your race, and Little Haiti or Chinatown.
How come certain races are segregated?
There are no longer any laws requiring racial segregation. A certain amount of racial separation still exists, because many people would rather be closer to members of their own ethnicity.

How was racial segregation in 1940 and 1941?
I just finished reading "The Bluest Eye," by Toni Morrison and if you haven't read it, it deals with issues on racial segregation in 1941. Mostly the Jim Crow laws were still in effect, but it seemed to be that the darker your skin was the worst off you were, and if you happened to have lighter skin you were able to advance in society. But whats worse is that African Americans in this time period actually thought that white was beautiful and Black ugly
What is segregation de facto?
Racial segregation, especially in public schools, that happens "by fact" rather than by legal requirement. For example, often the concentration of African-Americans in certain neighborhoods produces neighborhood schools that are predominantly Black, or segregated in fact (de facto), although not by law (de jure). De facto segregation means that there is, in reality, segregation. Consider racial segregation of schools in the U.S. There was a time when some states had legally mandated segregation -- separate schools for Black and White students. This is no longer the case. However, some places still have de facto segregation where certain schools are virtually all White and others are virtually all Black. This could happen because the Blacks of a district live in the same area and use the same local school. And they might live in the same area because it is where they can afford the housing, or because whites in a formerly mixed neighborhood have moved away.
