@@sacha9593 guess he learned something in his life after the war i just read a bit about him. interesting guy. and yea, clearly switched his stance on slavery during or after the war
What’s even more fascinating about Harlan’s opinion was that during the Civil War, he was pro-slavery and after the war, he was a vocal opponent of the 13th and 14th Amendments. So to see someone go from that to defending black Americans is truly amazing.
Goes to show, he was in favor of upholding the law as he saw it. I didn't like equal protection when it got passed, but it's the law now and I will uphold my interpretation of it. Shows a lot of integrity.
All right. I'll give you some of the worst supreme Court desicions. Debs vs. United States, Kelo vs. City of New London, Dred Scott vs. Sanford, and Plessy vs. Ferguson. It isn't an opinion that these were bad desicions; IT'S A FACT. Almost all Americans who know about these cases, Democrat, Republican, Libertarian, or Independent, will tell you that these desicions were horrendous.
i didn't realize this was planned. This was sorta mentioned on the side, but I wish you pointed out the infamous, and pathetic "one drop of blood" thing, where regardless of how distant it was, where one drop of african blood, ie having one african ancestor was enough to make you legally a black person and non-white. Also if you want something not terrible to think about, look at the stories of how some Asians survived in this era. Like the Mississippi delta Chinese. I learned a lot. Like how the railroad company was tipped off and allowed this to happen, how it was planned by the committee, how they arranged for a private detective to do the arrest, that the railroad company was in on it because it cost more to get additional cars, yet interestingly had comparable cars for both passengers. Seems like the company both understood this was law bad for profits, and such segregation was wrong.
This updated video is awesome! You are definitely my go to RUclips channel on everything USA, as a Canadian you have helped me tremendously in understanding the US legal system and it’s history. Thank you
Very late reply but someone should make a similar channel for Canadian law and history. I don’t believe I’ve seen one yet. Or maybe Mr. Beat can do a little branching out 😊
Sure he argued for plessy but only to uphold the status quo - he was anti Chinese and believed that whites were superior to all races. If the constitution is color blind then the issue of race is not a constitutional one. Clever racist.
I live in New Orleans - there’s a neighborhood near the French Quarter called the Marigny. It’s where Plessy lived and there are many paintings and murals of him. I’m not sure how accurate they are, but if they are indeed are accurate, I do actually know what he looked like! He looked totally like an average white man, relatively old, and had a beard!
Congratulations 50th SCB! ✨😊🎊👏🏾 Ones I looking forward is "Castle Rock v. Gonzales" "Tennessee v. Garner" "McDonald v. City of Chicago" "Gomillion v. Lightfoot"
Fun fact about the dissenting justice John Marshall Harlan: he had a grandson also named John Marshall Harlan who would later also serve on the supreme court.
Oh my god that backfired in the worst way possible. Like…Imagine you take this gamble and figure you’ve got solid odds… And then this happens… My mouth would have been gaped open with a “Fuck” falling out of it.
Awesome show Mr and Mrs Beat 👍..my father used to tell me about the paperbag clubs in Louisiana...basically it was racism amongst the blacks in the South.. I know I have a percentage of African American mostly Jamaican French and a tad bit of Irish.. funny us French don't care .however the paperbag clubs were you couldn't be darker than a paperbag..wierd right..
Since I've understood that a lot of the audience on this channel also watch Atun-Shei Films, Atun-Shei did a video on this, too. It's named "Homer Plessy, civil rights pioneer" and can be found near the bottom of his posted videos list.
Supreme Court Briefs: Filburn v. Wickard. 'An Ohio farmer, Roscoe Filburn, was growing wheat to feed animals on his own farm. The US government had set limits on the production of wheat. Filburn grew more than was permitted and was ordered to pay a penalty.' A surprising overreach of power or a necessary tool of socialist ideals? Both? Did the US govt need to prevent farmers growing wheat for personal use? Or for use solely to feed their own farm animals that they plan to profit from? I get that it incentivizes purchasing wheat that way, but it's also strong arming farmers a lot more than was probably necessary given with our nearly 2020 vision we can see that they had enough wheat stockpiled to meet the country's needs for over two years... and they were trying to lower the price of wheat based foods too...
If you haven't already done it, could you do a clip on Hammer v. Dagenhart aka the Child Labor Case of 1918? Justice William Rufus Day of Canton, Ohio, who wrote the majority opinion for the 5-4 case, I've found to be a very fascinating person to read about for about the last year and a half or so (as of November, 2023). Justice Day also wrote the dissenting opinion in United States v. Midwest Oil Co. aka the Presidential Powers Case of 1915 aka the Wyoming Oil Case of 1915. Justice Day's dissenting opinion in the 5-3 case was joined by Justices Willis Van Devanter of Wyoming (the State that this case primarily took place in!) and Joseph McKenna of Benicia, California. Between Justices Day, Van Devanter, and McKenna, from 1911-22, between the joining (or swearing-in, by taking both the Constitutional oath and the judicial oath) in January, 1911, of Van Devanter, and the retirement, on November 13, 1922, of Day, the three Justices made up the three Westerners on the Supreme Court, since Day, Van Devanter, and McKenna were from, respectively, Ohio, Wyoming, and California, although nowadays, Ohio is considered to be a marginally Western State. There one book that can be found on Justice Day, though it's a fairly old book, and it's called: William Rufus Day: Supreme Court Justice from Ohio. There's also a great article about him that talks primarily about his love of baseball, and it's called: A Crank on the Court: The Passion of William R Day.
Unfortunately school segregation is still a thing, especially on the East coast. We need to repeal some of our zoning laws that were put in place to segregate people.
Maybe it would’ve been another 7-2 decision like the Dred Scott case if Brewer would’ve attended. I know it wouldn’t have made a difference, but it’s just an observation that surprised me
The railcars may have been alike in quality, but the fact remained that black passengers could not occupy white railcars. That, by default, is unequal treatment based on race, as only one race could sit in the specific seats within those railcars.
During the Jim Crow era, railroads provided separate cars for "whites" and "coloreds". When the amount of passengers was large on popular trains, separate cars were generally used. On trains that had small passenger loads, partitioned cars were often used. Dining cars were often partitioned because providing two dining cars would cost too much and require too much staff. The last partitioned cars were built in the 1950's. Partitioned cars came to be known as Jim Crow cars in railroad equipment circles and many still exist today in museums. The operation of Jim Crow cars was an inconvenience to railroads. The Southern Pacific Railroad's Sunset Limited which ran from New Orleans to Los Angeles had Jim Crow cars upon departing New Orleans but switched the cars out of the train at El Paso, TX requiring moving passengers to other cars. The same happened in reverse eastbound. Railroad compliance with various states Jim Crow laws was a cost they were glad to get rid of.
The Plessy-Ferguson foundation is so interesting, it's so important to not forget how the world once was but still working towards reconciliation, what a great way to get across a message by having the descendants involved so we know that neither were a legal fiction they were both real people.
President During this time: Grover Cleveland Chief Justice: Melville Fuller Argued April 13, 1896 Decided May 18, 1896 Case Duration: 35 Days Decision: 7-1 in favor of Ferguson (Harlan)
I know that Melville W. Fuller was the Chief Justice of the US Supreme Court during the US Supreme Court Case Plessy v. Ferguson and the US Supreme Court Case is One of the Worst Supreme Court Case in American History because it caused it strengthened Jim Crow Laws and Caused African Americans to be Treated as Second Class Citizens and Melville W. Fuller was an American Lawyer and Melville W. Fuller was the 8th Chief Justice of the US Supreme Court from October 8, 1888 to July 4, 1910 and Melville W. Fuller was Appointed by President Grover Cleveland and from October 8, 1888 to July 4, 1910 was 21 Years and Melville W. Fuller was the Chief Justice of the US Supreme Court for 21 Years and Melville W. Fuller had a Job for 21 Years and it’s Amazing when someone has a Job for 21 Years as an Adult.
It's all thanks to this case that the world was prejudiced for 60 years. It just makes me want to, AGRGESGAGWHEHSGEEHAHAHSJSJWJWJEJESJSNSJSJEJE!!!!!!! That's legitimately what my brain goes to whenever I'm reminded about this case.
You left out an “interesting” passage from Justice Harlan’s dissenting opinion. “The white race deems itself to be the dominant race in this country. And so it is in prestige, in achievements, in education, in wealth and in power. So, I doubt not, it will continue to be for all time if it remains true to its great heritage and holds fast to the principles of constitutional liberty.” Plessy v. Ferguson, 163 U.S. 537, 559 (Harlan, J., dissenting).
I dunno why folks thought separate but equal would truly be equal. Like on a bus, if it was truly separate but equal, it wouldn't be whites up front, coloreds in the back. It would be one column white, one column colored. So Plessy was 1/8th black, but what about the white passing? Black folks who could truly pass for white? Then we'd need the registration like the Jews?
Yes, respecting the Constitution is truly bad for a Supreme Court to do. They should just pull out new rules out of thin air because this is what the mob wants.
Man, the US went so hard on segregation to the point some parts of hte US are in permanent state of shittiness, as in houses that cannot be legally sold due to their low value because the houses were in what was once called "black neighborhood", which I believed was called red lining and I think its still a thing today.
this is one of the disgusting cases that shows the supreme court's previous rulings can and should be overturned *eh eh Roe v Wade, Planned Parenthood v Casey
4:53 Oh boy, that sign. 😁 .... and to think our generation is so soft, we are easily 'offended' by _words_ on the internet. So much oppression today, I tell ya!
I actually don't think we are as easily offended as previous generations. Previous generations STARTED WARS over things today that would be considered petty.
The issue wasnt segregation, the issue was the constant subjugation and undermining of blacks by whites despite being segregated. Had blacks had completely equal rights as whites and been left COMPLETELY alone, you could have had a potential utopia without the racial tensions we have today despite the bitterness blacks harbored and rightfully so. Everybody would have been segregated but happier

respect to that one dissenting judge. we need to remember the people who stood for the right thing, even if they were hopelessly outnumbered.
"Fun" fact: John Marshall Harlan was pro-slavery (and had slaves) before the civil war (while being pro-union during the war).
@@sacha9593 guess he learned something in his life after the war
i just read a bit about him. interesting guy. and yea, clearly switched his stance on slavery during or after the war
Harlan’s dissent is one of the best written imo. It’s so eloquent without using unnecessary legalese, keeping it accessible
Would you consider ever doing a bit about constitutional amendments which didn't pass?
2nd the motion! You could even recruit a few of your comrades to do it with you!
the Hatch amendment would be a good starter
Absolutely!
@@gastonestbon5439 Third the Motion! It must go to Committee!

I dunno why folks thought separate but equal would truly be equal. Like on a bus, if it was truly separate but equal, it wouldn't be whites up front, coloreds in the back. It would be one column white, one column colored. So Plessy was 1/8th black, but what about the white passing? Black folks who could truly pass for white? Then we'd need the registration like the Jews?
What makes the back of the bus inherently worse than the front? I never understood that lol.
But white is a color...
I ride in color car.
hey
for the algorithm
Plessy vs Flegussy
I knew this would happen. I hate this topic. It is just disliked.
Huh?
so he was white what gave the 1/8th away, lips, nose, hair?
The aura maybe...
Harlan was based
Next to the Roger Taney Court, the Melville Fuller Court made some of the worst decisions regarding race.
Yes, respecting the Constitution is truly bad for a Supreme Court to do. They should just pull out new rules out of thin air because this is what the mob wants.
Man, the US went so hard on segregation to the point some parts of hte US are in permanent state of shittiness, as in houses that cannot be legally sold due to their low value because the houses were in what was once called "black neighborhood", which I believed was called red lining and I think its still a thing today.
*SIGH*
Equal and separate my arse,
this idea sucked and I'm still disappointed
in history even to this day.
this is one of the disgusting cases that shows the supreme court's previous rulings can and should be overturned
*eh eh Roe v Wade, Planned Parenthood v Casey
4:53 Oh boy, that sign. 😁 .... and to think our generation is so soft, we are easily 'offended' by _words_ on the internet. So much oppression today, I tell ya!
Just because things were worse at one time doesn't mean we can't keep moving towards equality and acceptance now.
I actually don't think we are as easily offended as previous generations. Previous generations STARTED WARS over things today that would be considered petty.
The issue wasnt segregation, the issue was the constant subjugation and undermining of blacks by whites despite being segregated. Had blacks had completely equal rights as whites and been left COMPLETELY alone, you could have had a potential utopia without the racial tensions we have today despite the bitterness blacks harbored and rightfully so. Everybody would have been segregated but happier
Not really.
@kelbel nice try
How the heck do you define "blacks" and "whites?" Did you know that "race" is a social construct?
Yeah… No.
@@iammrbeat Black is an ethnicity in the US as well. I’m sure you knew that, but don’t care.

And now we have people on the Left demanding separate "black spaces" 🤦♂️
Who specifically is demanding black spaces?
I've never heard of such a thing. What are you referring to?
