Segregated Water Fountains [1950]

[…] (via World’s famous photos) […]

Make no mistake racism is alive and well everywhere around the world. The uproar concerning the Arab school in NY is one example.

me conmovio la estupidez con la que nuestra sociedad ha cometido tonterias tan grandes como esta, la discriminaciòn sigue existiendo solo cambia de victimas.

saludos cordiales desde Santiago de Cuba.

deep moment. captured well.

How sad is it to see many people still be racist to different people…….
We should all make a stand and get along w/ everyone
No matter the ethnicity…..
We are all the next generation
and have to stand up to what we all believe…….

Excelente fotógrafo !
Instante capturado em um momento que está eternizado.
Belíssima foto !

I think it’s funny cause the guy is laughing at how stupid white people are.

Everybody bleeds red, no matter what your make up on the outside… The fact that people still think differently is absolutely ridiculous… The sooner people change their thinking the better!!!

People think others are different because of the way they look, the only difference is the way people think. This photograph shows one of the many racial problems that plagues the world, and it expresses it in a blunt and precise manner.

GOD created only one race and that is the “HUMAN RACE”

two different water fountains. but the water comes from the same pipe.

Evocative photograph of a time which has THANKFULLY gone by.

Great hat too.

A lot of people around the world look at South Africa as the only country that had racial segregation (pimarily because we gave a name to it - apartheid), I’d love to see a black female American president

true fact: all people are only .1% different from each other, no matter what color, ethnicity, or religion. Society itself is the only thing which actually creates the mere difference among people.

Speak English.

Celibrate diversity. That doesn’t mean to say it doesn’t exist. People are different. wouldn’t it be boring if we were all the same? as for preconceived notions, we don’t need pigmentation. the difference can be as small as accent, or last name. it is human nature for there always to be a “them”. Otherwise “Us” seems to lose it’s meaning.

ps. racism is easier against a people than it is against a person.

Separate but equal? Not bloody likely.

I’ve never seen so many morons post on a page before. You complain about racism then make no criticism of racist comments on this page. Then, someone misapplies racism to the concern over a Muslim school. Islam is a RELIGION, not a race, duh. Secondly, you may have forgotten a little event called September 11th–anyone has a rght to be concerned. Also, blacks separate themselves now more than whites do, so, while , yes racism is alive and well, the perpetrators have changed places.

My dear white FRIENDS…When I’m born I’m BLACK, When I grow up, I’m BLACK, When I go in the sun, I’m BLACK, When I feel cold, I’m BLACK, When I’m scared, I’m BLACK, When I’m sick, I’m BLACK, When I die, I’m still BLACK….You on the other hand….When You’re born, You’re PINK, When you grow up, you’re WHITE, When you go in the sun, you’re RED, When you feel cold, You’re BLUE, When you’re scared, you’re YELLOW, When you’re sick, you’re GREEN, When you die, you’re GREY…PLEASE TELL ME WHY YOU CALL ME COLORED?

black people aren’t colored, white people are just erased.
