GUEST,sciencegeek BS: Supreme Court & gay marriage decision (445* d) RE: BS: Supreme Court & gay marriage decision 17 Oct 14


"There were no reasonable arguments for the retention of slavery, no health problems associated with being black, no societal reasons for accepting free black people"... absolutely correct!

YET... as little as 10% non-white "blood" was enough to relegate a person into "colored" category...

separate schools, separate drinking fountains, eating places, had to use the back door if they let you in at all... lynching by the KKK for uppity behavior (and it didn't much to rock the boat), church burnings, prevented from voting in elections.

and "mixed" race marriages were against the law...

sounds a lot like being made into a second class citizen deprived of basic rights afforded everyone else to me...
