Political liberty does not gaurantee social/civil rights
"Laws permitting, and even requiring, their separation in
places where they are liable to be brought into contact do not
necessarily imply the inferiority of either race to the other"
"it could not have been intended to abolish distinctions based
upon color, or to enforce social, as distinguished from political,
equality"
Stari Decisis
"If the two races
are to meet upon terms of social equality, it must be the result of
natural affinities, a mutual appreciation of each other’s merits, and a
voluntary consent of individuals"
"The most common instance of this is connected with the
establishment of separate schools for white and colored children"
