Shaken, not stirred!
Are you guys kidding me?
Plessy was a challange to a Louisiana law segregating train passengers. It was argued to the S.Ct that the 14th Amendment outlawed segregation and thus this Louisiana law was unconstitutional. The S.Ct. ruled that the 14th did not outlaw segregation because seperate does not necessarly mean unequal, the law was not declared unconstitutional. Plessy did not declare anything unconstitutional, thats the problem with Plessy!
This had nothing whatsoever to do with the CRA of 1875 AKA the Desegration Act of 1875. The CRA of 1875 was declared unconstitutional on other grounds years earlier. The Court did not even take up segregation in the CRA case.
Plessy was a test case intentionally pushed to the S.Ct by segregation opponants of the late 1800's...( I know Dixie thinks only a few such deadenders existed), in an attempt to use the 15th to force integration.
No wonder we are in such trouble, the Conservatives lack a basic education in American History!
WE really need to better job of educating our people.
You can't educate the bigoted, Confederate apologist that are willfully ignorant, who substitute their opinion, supposition and conjecture for facts and logic. You just let them scream from the tree stump as their numbers die off and people wise up and abandon them for the libraries to objectively corroborate historical events in a logical fashion.
