What I mean is - if a 'coloured' person drank from a water fountain labeled 'Whites' what would happen?
Would he/she be arrested or just told he/she was at the wrong fountain?

Where were you in US History class? During segregation times blacks got arrested for any "crime" they committed, including drinking from a whites only water fountain. Did you ever hear of Rosa Parks?

To comment on a couple of answers above: the question is not a stupid question; Rosa Parks didn't sit in the back of the bus - she sat near the front, and got arrested.

sorry for the mean answers....but they were arrested...it was considered a crime. but i wonder if the whites were arrested from sipping from a colored water fountain. u would probably never have caught a white person doing that...unless they didnt care. but it would only be fair that they were arrested too.

Mullets could be outlawed. era. For the without delay men & the gay women. ;) gay regulation #a million: no extra advantageous than 3 rainbow something on one merchandise (motor vehicle, homestead, individual, puppy, etc.). without delay regulation #a million: attempting out in contact for breeding. in case you fail the attempt, you get fastened and a lollypop. Thats it XD

NO, jim crow was a myth just like the holocaust. It's all a conspiracy to demonize white america just like they did the good people of germany.

Yes, they were...and documented quite thoroughly. Not to be offensive, but was this a serious question?

they would get arrested and if your unlucky enough to be down south and do that... you'd probably end up like Emmitt Till.
