differences

In the immediate post-war period one of the most burning problems in the United States is the racial segregation. Whites and blacks are divided into every everyday activity of civil society: they buy in different supermarkets and shops, they eat in separate restaurants, they stay in separate hotels, the schools are different: whites and blacks are different, so they can not be together or, If they are together, black people still have to respect white people and follow certain rules.
