Segregation was the shameful practice - especially in South Africa, where black and white people were segregated - kept apart from each other - in all sorts of social ways. For example, white people (who ruled the country) kept the most fertile land for themselves, giving the blacks the rest. The best schools, hospitals, areas of the towns, doctors, shops, even beaches and sports centres were whites only - with black people having to make do with the poorest resources. Even transport was segregated - black people were not allowed to ride on the same buses as white people. Relationships between black and white people were banned, and even business or social activities was not acceptable. Thankfully nowadays segregation in South Africa is against the law, but there is still quite a bit of racism there - mostly whites agains black people, but also vice versa as well, although one could almost forgive the bitterness some black people show to white people because of the years of oppression by them.
