My understanding segregation in the US was actually about white people keeping their kids away from integrated schools (which is a nuance, it wasn't black school vs white school - and a lot of it was in the south). Slavery is NOT a colour based system. Don't get me wrong, it clearly ended up being one based on the the US outcome, but we are talking about Human slavery, it's been happening our entire civilisation, not just the 250 years or so of US existance.
Good job revealing that you know absolutely nothing about US history.
Absolutely, categorically, objectively wrong.
I just saw an ad on Facebook recruiting volunteers to go through old housing contracts to find where they still explicitly prohibit Black folks from living in certain neighborhoods. It was based on Black versus White. In the schools which continue to be de facto segregated based on race to this fucking day, it is based on race.
Get your foot out of your mouth and pick up a basic history textbook.
