How would you have reacted to segregation in the 1950s?

As I am from the 21st century, no thoughts or influence from the past, then I would strongly be against segregation. Although, considering the racist impact, segregation would be the right way to go since violence would be depleted from violence and much confrontation.

the first two years of american revolution was not very encouraging for the patriots since the british were far superior in sea power, arms and troops.
