That prohibition existed (and was actively enforced) only in the southern States of the USA until well into the 1960's. In the early years - and certainly in the South - it wasn't an issue and most (certainly white) people in the South largely agreed with it. Segregation was on the whole considered 'normal' in the US until after WW2: the US Army for instance was totally segregated and jazz singer Tony Bennett during his WW2 service was actually demoted for once having dinner with a black friend from his school days.

Opinion started to shift in the Fifties, but it took a Supreme Court decision to force the Southern States to abolish the prohibition laws in the 1960s.
