So i was out dancing in a club when i was alerted that another case was coming to court. My first reaction was "cool!". However my second thought was "that probably means I have to go home now..." . My third and final thought was "maybe people will listen to me this time". SO i raced home and the next month I was sitting in the courtroom wearing a justice's robe (which,for the record, are very itchy) listening to the opening arguments. Once again, the case was on racial discrimination. And once again, I was appalled. I thought that it was horribly unreasonable that Plessy, a man 1/8th black, was asked to leave the all white car! Firstly, he is 7/8th's white! Second of all this whole "separate but equal" thing thats going on is pretty wrong. You can't be separate and equal, especially if one group has jurisdiction over the making of what is equal! Plessy was denied his freedoms to sit where he wanted BY THE STATE! I know I'm right on this one...
peace.
