Brown was an easy equal protection decision - but that was not the basis used for it.

The Warren Court did not have nine votes to overturn segregation as a general matter. It may not have had a majority to do so. The court did NOT overturn Plessy v. Ferguson in 1954, I'm not sure it has been overturned as of 2018 (although it is moot if the Civil Rights Act of 1964 is Constitutional).

The court ordered schools integrated because of "recent discoveries in psychological research" which supposedly proved that schools without whites were "inherently inferior" because they created a psychological stigma for students who went to them.

There was a second case in which that happened

Plessy is the plight that lost causers and KKK sympathizers slapped this country with. The animus the dems showed then and now is evident

What BS! I doubt very much that private Asian schools in the US feel any psychological stigma. And what a racist position to take that blacks cannot learn unless they’re surrounded by whites?

The psychological stigma of segregated black schools comes from their poor performance as a result of significantly lower AVERAGE IQ. That stigma was only made worse with integration since it highlighted the differences in academic performance even more!

The “Bell Curve” provides pretty much all the explanations regarding the racial realities we see.

You’ve got at least two big constitutional problems with this case.

1) the decision is unconstitutional - the feds cannot constitutionally order integration nor can it constitutionally denounce “discrimination” (the freedom to choose) - thus the decision should be ignored, nullified and voided, and

2) even if it was a constitutionally- based decision, it would NOT be national law but would be constitutionally effective only against the parties of the case.
