| | Racial segregation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Segregation may be de jure (Latin, meaning "by law")—mandated by law—or de facto (also Latin, meaning "in fact"); de facto segregation may exist even illegally. | | | Kraemer, the U.S. Supreme Court finally ruled that such covenants were unenforceable in a court of law. | | | De jure segregation in both South Africa and the U.S. came with "miscegenation laws" (prohibitions against interracial marriage) and laws against hiring people of the race that is the object of discrimination in any but menial positions. |

| | Dennis Kucinich on Racial Discrimination |
| | In fact, the only other nation where minority segregation indices routinely exceed those reported in the United States was the Union of South Africa under apartheid. | | | To do nothing, to abolish affirmative action, is to use de jure means to fall back into the de facto segregation of the past, which made a mockery of democracy, equality, liberty, and justice -- the very values on which this nation was founded. | | | It is time to face the fact that institutional racism still exists and must be treated with education -- and legal enforcement. |

Grunder told the court that the case was not about racial discrimination but rather about the precautions that authorities must take to protect all inmates, regardless of race. | | | Acting Solicitor General Paul D. Clement said the case "presents this court with an opportunity to reaffirm that all government policies based on race should be subject to strict scrutiny." |

| | "If you have a very segregated housing market employers might take that as a signal that it is not necessarily wise to hire a minority to deal with whites in suburban neighborhoods, for example." | | | "Active enforcement of fair housing laws and good low-income housing opportunities in suburban areas would certainly help decrease racial and economic segregation." | | | "A 1.5 percent difference may not seem like very much but racial segregation, which is at the root of the problem, has persisted for decades," Ross says. |
