Definition

Racial establishment segregation, also known as racial segregation, is the separation of individuals or groups based on their race or ethnicity in various societal institutions, such as schools, housing, and public facilities. This form of discrimination has been historically practiced in many societies, particularly in the United States during the Jim Crow era, where laws enforced the separation of white and black individuals in various aspects of daily life.

Racial establishment segregation perpetuates inequality and marginalization of certain racial or ethnic groups, as it denies them equal access to resources, opportunities, and services. It also reinforces harmful stereotypes and prejudices, leading to social divisions and tensions within communities.

Efforts to combat racial establishment segregation include legislation, policies, and initiatives aimed at promoting diversity, equality, and inclusivity in all aspects of society. These efforts seek to dismantle systemic barriers and promote social justice for all individuals, regardless of their race or ethnicity.
