She means that segregation was wrong when white people forced it on black people, and it is just as wrong when black people segregate themselves. It doesn't matter what the means or reasons are, the results are still the same.

I think she meant that it was wrong for white people to pass laws for segregation, but it is also wrong for black people to have restaurants, communities, schools etc. and ask that it be for blacks only. No matter if you are black or white it is wrong to say that something can only be for one color and not the other.

This quote is usually attributed to Coretta King, but it's not sure she really said it. Wikipedia says "Attributed", one webpage gives as source "Tulsa, OK, Challenging Racism conference, 1991".

She was speaking out against the position that was advocated by some that Black people should develop their own society and ethical values and should reject integration or cooperation with Whites.

She didn't mind voluntary segregation, just not forced.
Black people, white people, yellow or brown....
Segregate with your race if you wish, just don't
invade each other's space.
