Clarence Thomas attacks Brown v. Board ruling amid 70th anniversary

[Missourian]

Separate was unequal. Black schools were underfunded, black communities did not have the same things white communities had. So the 14th Amendment was violated.

And I 100% agree with that.
Separate but unequal is a violation.

And...I also agree that was the intention at the time.

But, my point is...if the schools WERE separate but equal... that would be completely constitutional.

 

[Missourian]

Why do some whites say this crap?

Because it's true.

Things are still unequal.

Because it's true.

If you really think, whites have no room to make such comments.

 

[Missourian]

If you really think, whites have no room to make such comments.

If you think that, you're in the wrong country.

 

[Missourian]

Things are still unequal.

I agree with that too but not for lack of funding... but IMO, because inner-city Black culture is broken.

The Black community has made it clear they're not looking for White saviors... which means it's up to you to solve these problems.

Want to read something sad?

It's long, but it's worth the read when you have the time...

The racist right has long defended separate and unequal.

Do you think different students learn differently being within the same ethnic group, having the same ethnic teacher?

Black students do better with a black teacher. I'm centre Right, so I think black students should have a black teacher.

Brown v Board ruling could have very much disadvantaged more students.

In our republic, there is no rational argument for separate public schools for various ethnic groups. People who desire such have recourse to private institutions. All children need the same level of conscientious instructors and adequate school supplies.
The question of how Constitutional any decision by the courts may be is another matter.

Not true. Listen, because you are wrong does not mean your mutterings are accurate. The Republicans are the only party to have fought for a long time for equal civil rights.

 

[Robert W]

His opinion is not sane.
Do you believe Jim Crow schools were funded the same as white schools? You believe it is acceptable to be forced to go to one school because you are black, Asian, Hispanic, and another for white? You believe that's Constitutional?

Jim Crow is the invention of Democrats. I believe in the children. What is best for them is what I favor. Long distance bussing to force a group into a white group will lead to problems. Same as making white kids take a long ride to be in a black school. It upsets the children.

 

[IM2]

Equality of opportunity, not equality of outcome.

Shut up with that sorry ass white racist bullshit! Whites were controlling both opportunity AND outcome which is why Brown was necessary and continues to be so. And the thing is, you know that. So you repeat this disingenous crap because what you really want is for whites to control both opportunity and outcome again.

Bullshit. Millions of students have done quite well being taught by teachers who were not of their race.

 

[IM2]

And this is why blacks call Thomas an Uncle Tom and why right wing whites defend him.

 

[otto105]

Its important as SCOTUS to attack the legal case that permitted you to go to school, and thus be on SCOTUS, don't you think? I am sure many posters on IMBD think ending educational racial segregation was a bad idea. What say you USMB?

Clearance thomas is the original mark robinson black candidate for NC.

I wonder if both have RVs from wealthy white controllers.

 

[IM2]

It is obvious Misourian is dumb. He has no understanding of history and how things affected people. If whites denied blacks of equal education while making sure whites got the best education they could, which is exactly what happened, then whites are controlling opportunity and outcomes.

 

[Captain Caveman]

Bullshit. Millions of students have done quite well being taught by teachers who were not of their race.

Then bullshit to the study I just read? It found levels of black student suspensions from school dropped when they had a black teacher. Rather than just debunking stuff with opinion, go and do some research, you will learn a thing or two.

Black students who are exposed to Black teachers by third grade are 13% more likely to enroll in college.

 

[AZrailwhale]

No, it's true.

The racist right defends Jim Crow and segregation.

sad thing is that many blacks now want VOLUNTARY segregation. All black clubs, all black dorms, all black professional associations, even a congressional caucus limited to blacks. If whites did any of those things you would be screaming about racism.
