Justice Harlan did not believe that black and white people were equal. When dissenting he said "the white race deems itself to be the dominant race in this country. And so it is, in prestige, in achievements, in education, in wealth and in power" he believed the white race was superior, but it was not the Constitution's job to reflect that
The quote: "The white race deems itself to be the dominant race in this country. And so it is in prestige, in achievements, in education, in wealth and in power. ... But in view of the constitution, in the eye of the law, there is in this country no superior, dominant, ruling class of citizens. There is no caste here. Our constitution is color-blind, and neither knows nor tolerates classes among citizens. In respect of civil rights, all citizens are equal before the law. The humblest is the peer of the most powerful. The law regards man as man, and takes no account of his surroundings or of his color when his civil rights as guaranteed by the supreme law of the land are involved."
I’m debating against another person in my history class from the black perspective with this case. This video definitely gets me through this and I love it!
I love how the Court tried to claim that the racial segregation was ok because the races "preferred" segregated seating - all while ignoring the fact that the case arose because Plessy preferred to sit in the white section in the first place. Bruh...

This video clearly implies that Ferguson was a Louisiana criminal court judge who ruled in favor of the state and against Plessy, thus convicting Plessy of the charges against him. It's easy to assume Ferguson was a lawyer with some political connections, and that he resided in Louisiana for at least a few years. The video then states outright that Plessy appealed his conviction to the federal court by filing his Writ of Error against Ferguson. I'm not sure what else you want to know about Ferguson - his birthplace, age, marital status, favorite fishing spots, favorite adult beverage? - but there are plenty of resources out there these days.
Thanks for the vedio.. I skipped the chapter then decided to watch or read something online regarding this case.. Turns out this is actually interesting!
Homer Plessy is my 1st cousin 4x removed, which mean his grandfather is my great-great-great-great-grandfather. One of the worst Supreme Court decisions of all time.
That's why it was later overturned. Now it is a kind of precedent showing that SCOTUS can make mistakes that are corrected by future courts - like Roe v. Wade was overturned in 2022.
Yea if I recall everyone that was involved, until the DA got involved and started prosecution, knew he was "colored" and that he easily passed as "master" race, and wanted the laws reversed.
So segregation is okay so long as it's chosen by the government of the states? Sssssss, I don't man sounds kinda shitty since most southern states during the Civil Rights movement didn't want segregation to end.
Matthew 9:35 And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people.
Right on, he talked about God's purpose for this Earth, and how the meek will inherit it, let kingdom come to Earth as in heaven, after God's battle with the wicked and Satan the devil, seek Truth
I think it's good. But what I don't like about the kids at my school is that some of them just give me a feeling of even though they are coloured or another culture, they still say Blacks are treated equally to this day( false)
It’s always left off the plessy purposely sat in the white coach and waited to cross state lines then told the conductor he was black and refused to sit in the black cart as a means to get a federal case so that the Supreme Court would hear his argument.
I agree, however, I wonder how they will begin to start repayment. Would mix race people qualify? Would we start the one drop rule for this? Would it be payment in actual money or fertile land as once promised🤔 just curious how the process begin today. I would assume there have to be some kind of knowledge of family tree. Only because of black Americans who are 2nd or 3rd generation... I would think might not qualify in the U.S. please share your thoughts:-)
Ummm, Plessy wasn't black... He was ⅛ black that looked COMPLETELY white... He even argued that he was ⅞ white and should be allowed to sit with the whites... His argument was for himself, not the so-called blacks... We need to stop praising people who had selfish motives and say it was for all...
It makes perfect sense when you understand a few points in Louisiana law. At least in those days, the law considered one "negro" or "black" if they had even one "black" ancestor. My guess is that Plessy intentionally used his own ancestry to challenge that particular law in federal court. Very clever fellow!
@@darktimesatrockymountainhi4046 Did you not read up on him??? Or listen to this video??? He argued against being so-called black and claimed his entire life to be a white man...

Uh, no. That's not how it works. The justices swear an oath to deliver justice "without respect to persons." They should simply be made to uphold that oath.
This little cartoon misrepresents Homer Plessy identity the fact that Plessy was as white in appearance as a person known to be considered as white, whatsoever that really means. I hope in the future your following cartoons DEPICT the true facts!
Legend has it that Plessy never got a refund for that ticket.

Being a “dominant” race is one thing, and being a “superior” race is another.
"Equal but separate" sounds expensive

Was Andy Field in this video?
it sounds just like him i’m researching so frantically to find out who the narrator is
Also I downloaded Quimbee and it’s EXPENSIVE $300 and I’m not even in college I’m in MS like wtf?
Thanks for the info, Handunit.
It is important to know that the stunt was or coordinated with the railcar owner because separate cars cost him more and Plessy presented as white.
Yea if I recall everyone that was involved, until the DA got involved and started prosecution, knew he was "colored" and that he easily passed as "master" race, and wanted the laws reversed.

Why do you sound like the FNAf commentator ?
