<p>[QUOTE=&quot;fatima, post: 1413982, member: 22143&quot;]Your argument still fails.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>In 1896 the Supreme Court ruled in the case of Plessy v. Ferguson that state sponsored racial segregation was legal.&nbsp;&nbsp; i.e. &quot;Separate but Equal&quot; was fine in the eyes of the law and the Constitution.&nbsp; In 1954, the Supreme Court overturned this ruling by declaring that &quot;Separate but Equal&quot; was not legal in the famous case Brown vs The Board of Education.&nbsp;&nbsp; Just because a state created segregated schools in the 1890s which was upheld in the court then doesn&#039;t mean it can&#039;t do so now.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>So your reasoning fails because, as I originally said, you claim that just because FDR did it in 1933 and it was upheld in court then, that it would be possible now.&nbsp;&nbsp; This is a logical fallicy because it simply ignores, subsequent precedent, changes to society and economics.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
