What was the economic impact of Segregation? Who thought it was a good idea to spend money on seperate bathrooms drinking fountains? Would it not have been better to let it all be and save money? (lemmy.world)

They thought it was worth it because they were racists that didn't want to share facilities.

Also, usually the separate accommodations were much better for the white people, not as much was spent for the other side.
