what the law regarding blacks and whites can sit on public transportation?

It no longer applies, but the law in Alabama in the 1950s was that black people had to sit in the back of the bus if white people wanted to sit in the front. Rosa Parks protested that law by refusing to go to the back when asked, and as such began the Civil Rights movement which eventually led to the removal of racist laws.

According to the law, driving is a privilege, not a right.  They can basically put whatever restrictions they see fit.

It is a crime --- you have to prove discrimination get a good lawyer and go fight for your rights -\n\n The jobs you listed have by far(nation wide) more whites employees than other minorities.\n\nIn my home town --- on the local fire dept. there was only one black person (full time employee) the rest are white. My nursing class had about 40 students (only 2 black students).\n I still find for the most part people go where they feel comfortable (accepted).

The public has a right to be protected from idiocy in their community. Much like the traffic law that helps protect you by requiring vehicles stop at red traffic lights instead of driving through them and t-boning you and ripping the bones out from under your skin, children too need protection from the foolish and inconsiderate.

such laws would not depend on which state you are but differs from organization to organization. An employer is free to make internal rules and regulations. so every organization have different rules relating to this. However not many specifically mentions laws about bathroom usage. \n\nHowever, an organization can not make rules that are arbitary, agianst equality or racial. You can find more about this in this article(link below).

It's not a matter of being white or having a job or not.\n\nIf people are bothering you, that is a nuisance or trespass civil law suit. Against the people who are bothering you.\n\nThe ACLU deals with constitutional violations. And it doesn't count as a constitutional violation unless the govt is the one causing the problems. Now, if those hoodlums are govt agents, or the neighbors are acting under govt orders, then you have govt action. But if not, then it's a private non-constitutional issue.

The Freedom Riders were a group of men and women from many different backgrounds and ethnicities who boarded buses, trains and planes headed for the deep South to test the 1960 U.S. Supreme Court ruling outlawing racial segregation in all interstate public facilities.\n\nThe movement began in the 1950s. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) was involved in the struggle to end segregation on buses and trains. In 1952, segregation on interstate railways was declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court of the United States. This was followed in 1954 by a similar judgment concerning interstate buses. However, states in the Deep South continued their own policy of transport segregation. This usually involved whites sitting in the front and blacks sitting nearest to the front had to give up their seats to any whites that were standing.\n\nAfrican American people who disobeyed the state's transport segregation policies were regularly arrested and fined. On December 1, 1955, Rosa Parks, a middle-aged tailor's assistant from Montgomery, Alabama, took an action that was a turning point in the American Civil Rights Movement when she refused to give up her seat on a Montgomery bus.\n\nMany people have said she was tired after a hard day's work and this may have been true in part, but in her own story, Parks -- who had volunteered to help the NAACP -- said it was more that she was tired of giving in to the bigotry and mistreatment of African Americans. She was seated in a row of two bus seats which each seated two people. One white man got on the bus and when no seat was available for him in the front section, the bus driver (who had mistreated Parks in the past) told all four of the black passengers in the front row of the rear section to move. The other three did, but Parks stayed where she was and refused to move. The driver called for the police and Parks was arrested and taken to jail.\n\nAfter his arrest, Martin Luther King, Jr., a minister at a local Baptist Church, helped organize protests against bus segregation. It was decided that black people in Montgomery would refuse to use the buses until passengers were completely integrated. King was arrested and his house was fire-bombed. Others involved in the Montgomery Bus Boycott also suffered from harassment and intimidation, but the protest continued.\n\nFor 13 months, the 17,000 black people in Montgomery walked to work or obtained lifts from car owners in the city who volunteered to help. Eventually, the loss of revenue and a decision by the Supreme Court forced the Montgomery Bus Company to accept integration.\n\nEven after this decision, transportation segregation continued in some parts of the Deep South, so in 1961, a civil rights group, the Congress on Racial Equality (CORE) began to organize Freedom Rides. After three days of training in non-violent techniques, black and white volunteers sat next to each other as they traveled through the Deep South.\n\nJames Farmer, national director of CORE, and 13 volunteers left Washington, D.C. on May 4, 1961. Along the way, they met up with many other volunteers as they traveled through Virginia, Charlotte, North Carolina, Rock Hill, South Carolina, Georgia and Anniston, Alabama.\n\nIn Anniston, the original bus carrying the Freedom Riders was fire bombed. As they struggled to get out of the bus, the group was beaten. They and riders on another bus were attacked by men armed with clubs, bricks, iron pipes, and knives. Still, the group continued on.\n\nMeanwhile, a second group of riders left Nashville, Tennessee on May 14, 1961 headed for Birmingham, Alabama, where they joined with the first group of Freedom Riders on May 20, 1961. The U.S. Attorney General, Robert Kennedy, sent his assistant, John Seigenthaler Sr., to accompany the Freedom Riders.\n\nThere in Birmingham, the passengers were greeted by members of the Ku Klux Klan with further acts of violence and the group was forced to sp

Sade W, I'm sorry but I totally disagree with you. True, Black people weren't allowed to sit in the front of a bus 50 yrs ago, but have <you> personally experienced it? If you are over the age of 45, then <maybe> you experienced it as a young child. If you are a young lass, then no one has forced you to the back of the bus because of your race. That is, if you've ever ridden one, I don't know.\n\nWhen I see reverse racism going on, I cringe. (Actually it's all racism, but I'll use the term "reverse racism" in this thread.) NO White person alive in this country has ever kept a slave, its impossible. It's possible that some Whites have oppressed minorities, but there are many who think progressively and humanely, so it's no excuse for Black people (or any minority) to hate Whites because their ancestors were slave owners. At some point or another, EVERYONE'S "peeps" were slave owners and slaves themselves.\n\nI'm of Mexican descent, and the native Mexican civilizations were literally raped of their wealth, their women, their way of life, their everything. I would be so embarrassed, mortified and really upset, to see my "cousins" out there hating White people and treating them badly for something they are not guilty of that happened in the past.\n\nThere is NO excuse for racism of any kind.

Legally they're entitled to, so I don't see why they can't if they're pissed.\n\nHonestly though, it's sort of annoying when people strike and affect thousands of others (i.e. transportation strikes, teacher strikes, etc.)
