For an idea on what the separate electorate would have wrought on BCs.

Here is a relevant section from Separate but Equal page on Wikipedia

<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->From a study done by the University of Michigan:

<b>The mean and median value of per family net worth (including home equity) increased from $219,000 in 1999 to $248900 in 2001, while the corresponding median value changed from $53,100 to $63,000. As indicated in Tables 2-3, both African -Americans and white families benefited from the rise in the net wealth. However, the mean and median wealth for African -American families ($59,100 and $7,500 respectively) still remained disappointingly low when compared to that of white families ( $291,800 and $95,000 respectively).</b>

More recently, the disparity between the racial compositions of inmates in the American prison system has led to claims that the U.S. Justice system furthers a "new apartheid".[1]<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
