It is a natural human trait to congregate with ones own kind.  Blacks wanted to force whites to accept them as equals during the 50s - 70s, and the gubment gave them what they demanded, but they soon found out that social integration is very different from gubment dictated integration.  Like people join in with people like them, and the gubment can't dictate that.  It's very interesting to look at old church records and find that black slaves and owners were members of the same church, buried in the same cemetery, and shared many common traits.  Yet today, since both groups are equal they tend to segregate to each's own kind.  I remember hearing for the first time when I moved to St. Louis...."oh, you can't go in that neighborhood, that's an Italian neighborhood".  HUH?  News to me.  I had never heard of ethnic division before, other than the two in the South.  Social segregation is a fact of life....even for cupcakes.
