****READ! and do so over and over again.... Their schools have not and will not EDUCATE US**** USE A DICTIONARY (Law) IF YOU MUST - DEFINE AND DECODE! The ENFORCEMENT has always been in the hands of Black People. But, You cannot enforce anything you are Ignorant of. Black people failed to execute upon the judgement and became an Economic force despite Segregation and Jim Crow; black people came to mature to understand they needed LAND again, therefore the Courts gave blacks in America Brown vs. Board of Education (1954) and later the Civil Rights Bill 1964 which only revisited the original 1866 Civil Rights Bill that provided the 13th - 15th amendments. These Movements are what is called the cyclical nature of History! Plessy vs. Ferguson 1896: The Court ruled that, while the object of the Fourteenth Amendment was to create absolute equality of the two races before the law, such equality extended only so far as political and civil rights (e.g., voting and serving on juries), not social rights (e.g., sitting in a railway car one chooses). As Justice Henry Browns opinion put it, [if one race be inferior to the other socially, the constitution of the United States cannot put them upon the same plane.] Furthermore, the Court held that the Thirteenth Amendment applied only to the [imposition] of slavery itself. The Court expressly rejected Plessys arguments that the law stigmatized blacks with a badge of inferiority, [pointing out that both blacks and whites were given equal facilities under the law and were equally punished for violating the law.] We consider the underlying fallacy of [Plessys] argument contended the Court, to consist in the [assumption] that the enforced separation of the two races [stamps] the colored race with a [badge] of [inferiority.] [If] this [be so,] it is not by [reason] of anything [found] in the [act,] but [solely because the colored race chooses to put that construction upon it.] ***brackets mine to add emphasis on the effect and affect***
