∙ 13y agoBecause white people thought that black people were lower than white people. They didn't want to mix the classes. Black people also weren't allowed to vote, and only "real" humans got to vote back then. White people didn't consider them human. They were considered animals. Would you sit with a animal?(I'm not being racist, I'm just saying what they would say in when in this position.) Black people were only allowed to sit in the 5th row and back in a bus. When black people did sit in the front, they would get yelled at. When black professor, Jo Ann Robinson, sat in the front of the bus absent mind, the bus driver screamed at her so much that she ran off the bus crying. Even if black people are where they were suppose to be, the bus driver could force them to move seats to make room for a white person. That happened to Vernon Johns, and when he tried to get the other black people to leave the bus as a protest, they just said, "You ought to knowed better." That is just terrible, knowing that they had given up hope. When the same thing happened to Rosa Parks, she said no, and got arrested. People were so racist back then.

∙ 11y agoWell back in the day, there was a plethora amount of racism and blacks weren't treated fairly. Usually it would be better to sit in the front of the bus so you would get off with ease so they had the blacks sit in the back and the whites in the front.

What would happen if people sat on the wrong side on the bus?
During the era when segregation dominated the south, it was illegal for black people to sit in the section of the bus reserved for white people. Black riders were generally expected to sit at the back of the bus. And if the bus was crowded and a white person needed to sit, blacks were expected to give up their seat to the white person. Failing to obey these rules could get the black person removed from the bus, or in some cases, subjected to arrest and a fine.
