History Repeats itself; The Shameful Tactics of Pseudo-Science and Legislative Action.

by Robert Tronge Fri, Aug 19, 2016 10:19AM
We all know about segregation in our recent history. We know how state governments across the nation passed laws, rules and regulations treating people differently, these laws not only included blacks, but Asians, Latinos and other ethnic groups as well, not only in the community, but before the court systems. Note even our United States Supreme Court ratified the use of segregation in the 1896 case of Plessy v. Ferguson, 163 U.S. 537 where the Supreme Court sustained the constitutionality of “Separate but equal”. It took us fifty years to overturn the Jim Crow laws, much to our shame.
