Can anyone clearly distinguish the difference between de jure segregation and de facto segregation because my teacher is talking that mess?

According to Black's Law Dictionary, 5th Edition:

De jure segregation. Generally refers to segregation directly intended or mandated by law or otherwise issuing from an official racial classification or in other words to segregation which has or had the sanction of law.

De facto segregation. Segregation which is inadvertent and without assistance of school authorities and not caused by any state action but rather by social, economic and other determinates.
