"Therefore, I have to advise here that if you do indeed make such an allegation, you really should show us the evidence that supports your claim."

Don't lecture me about reading history. Don't even get me started...

Advise me about WHAT???????

About trying to project your personal opinions of a figure, much less one from fifty plus years ago, as fact.

If you believe that Black was an anti-Catholic racist, then where's the factual proof? What elements in history show that he had a racist attitude on the Court,

I've provided evidence that while he was involved with the KKK while working as a lawyer in Alabama in the 1920's, he subsequently did not partake in the organization while on the Court. Quite the contrary and as I've said, some of his decisions are still regarded today as being key to the civil rights movement--namely Brown v. Board.

Nay, in Post #9, you spew out how he's this racist Nutt who was appointed to the court so he could rule on this case. You've (rather conveniently, I might add) left out how he resigned from the KKK and the 10 years that passed between his appointment from the Court and Everson, and his subsequent judicial philosophy--i.e. Brown v. Board.
