I thought we settled this shit in 1865.
1869 at the latest (Texas v. White)
Not even a little.
There was th Civil War and white folk got to pretend shit was settled while back folk knew better. Took until the 60s for things to start to shake up and even then White's weren't sure they should support something like requiring equal treatment.
Then we got the Voting Rights Act Then SCOTUS, in recent years, decided we didn't need that anymore. People are legitimately surprise the Court decided this way. Recent rulings have been a constant erosion.
No doubt. I was thinking about Southern ‘patriots’ deciding they can ignore the federal government when it suits them. But to your point, they had to send in marshals just so little kids could go to school, and that happened in living memory so … yeah.
