Definition

White enforced segregation refers to the practice of separating individuals of different races, with white individuals in positions of power enforcing and maintaining this separation. This was a common practice in the United States during the Jim Crow era, where laws were put in place to enforce racial segregation in public facilities, schools, housing, and other aspects of society. This enforced segregation was a tool used to uphold white supremacy and maintain racial hierarchies, leading to discrimination, inequality, and oppression of non-white individuals.
