It reinforced segregation and discrimination.
Booker T. Washington (1856-1915) advocated gradualism. That meant being patient and doing what white society would allow, which meant changes and better times for blacks would come slowly.
A different point of view was taken by W.E.B. Du Bois (1868-1963). Du Bois noted that Washington's approach was not accomplishing any real gains for blacks. He also felt that Washington's point of view showed acceptance of the racial inferiority of blacks. Plus he saw that institutions in the black community were being dominated by persons like Washington, rather than really empowering all individuals for themselves. Du Bois argued that all black citizens should have the right to vote, equality as citizens, and access to education according to their abilities, and his approach was more confrontational, attacking segregation using protests, lawsuits, and publications. Du Bois was strongly active in the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP).

They are usually heavily involved with the mass media and easy access by all people from within a society. It started rising in the 19th century with the industrial revolution
Mass society was very important for the economy because factories started manufacturing high amounts of goods that were affordable and easily distributed to everyone which led to large earnings and large economic growth of countries. For example, people don't go to traditional shoemakers anymore but rather to big companies that sell standardized shoes
Leisure activities also changed with the rise of the mass society culture with things like advertising. For example, local communities had their own ways of spending their leisure time however with the advent of mass media culture started unifying and people started spending their leisure time in more or less the same way regardless of where they are.
