For one, the Supreme Court had decided on segregation eight times before Brown v Board came along. They decided, each time, that however unpopular some may see segregated institutions as, the federal government doesnt have the authority to intervene in a state's internal affairs.
The last time they decided on segregation before Brown v Board, the court wrote in its majority opinion that there was no excuse for the question to ever be brought before the court again. (source: book “Nine Men Against America”) So to justify Brown v Board, the court used "modern science" to look at race relations. Sociology specifically. They looked at "the doll experiment" which showed how black kids wanted to play with a white doll over a black doll nevermind that a small child placed in a lab room and being asked weird questions by a creepy adult cant possibly affect the child's thinking.
Result of the doll test showed that segregated schools made black children feel inferior, thus they had to sit next to a white kid to learn. This was insulting to blacks in America and a few years later, with the reasoning these stupid coloreds had to sit next to white kids to learn, you had whites being bussed out of their neighborhoods to black schools and blacks being bussed out of their neighborhoods to the white neighborhood. Ask your grandparents about that.
A result of Brown v Board is that schools all over America fell under federal regulation vs state regulation, resulting in tremendous cultural subversion ever since. According to civil service examination records in the Korean war, 80% of blacks drafted met literacy requirements. (source: The underground history of education by John taylor Gatto) 80% of blacks dont graduate high school today.
Race relations were uneasy before Brown v Board but were progressing. The court decision caused a social upheaval which lit a spark inciting racial violence which set race relations back fifty years and would have repercussions for decades to come.
One of the "authorities" the supreme court used was the 1500 page sociological text "An American Dilemma" by Gunnar Myrdal. The writing of this text was funded by the Carnegie Corporation. Myrdal, a swedish socialist and former head of the swedish eugenics program had over sixty associates working with him on it. This text, cited in the majority opinion, calls for population control measures against all peoples (so fighting over resources wouldnt cause racial tension), abolition of the constitution, extending population control to blacks more than whites and for blacks to cause "social disturbances" so in the name of ending chaos the federal government would grant them equal rights.
Several of the people who worked on this text were eugenicists. Eugenics had always been seen as BS science by ordinary people, but people were forced by popular media to see it as legit. WW2, a war against eugenic madman Hitler ended up causing eugenics to lose legitimacy altogether in America. Brown v Board gave legitimacy back to eugenicists, rebranded "sociologists" whom would use their "social science" to choose what was best for how people should live.
An American Dilemma was compiled by Donald R Young. He encouraged Stuart Chase to write the book "A New Deal," which FDR stole the name from, calling for socialism in the US and executing profit seekers by firing squad. Sociologists and psychologists began to develop theories that political opinions were symptoms of mental illness and people could be forcibly medicated based on political stance alone.
Take the case of General Edwin A Walker. He was the general who led federal troops into Little Rock Arkansas to forcibly integrate the high school there. Afterward, he realized it was wrong for the federal government to invade a sovereign state and nationalize that state's national guard. Walker stated next time he would "be on the right side." He stayed in Mississippi where it was public knowledge it would happen again. When federal troops invaded Mississippi to integrate a college campus, white students broke out into rioting. In a lull in the rioting, Walker stood upon a statue and called for students to act civil. UPI reported that Walker was trying to stop the rioting. The AP reported he led the rioters. A few days later a federal marshall showed up at Walker's house, with a letter from a psychologist at the Federal Insane Asylum in Springfield Missouri (the psychologist never met walker and based his diagnosis off newspaper accounts) and Walker was forcibly sent to the prison where he was stripped and forced to eat off the floor. His friends and family had no idea where he was but banded together to force the government to give Walker a trial where he was found innocent of inciting race riots and to be above average intelligence.

Walker later moved to Dallas to work for the anticommunist John Birch Society and communist Lee Harvey Oswald attempted an assassination attempt on him. All records of Walker on the internet today report the incorrect AP version of the race riots as a smear against the still active John Birch Society. (source: The 7 million copy best selling “None Dare Call it Treason”)
Brown v Board was actually five plaintiffs whom had combined their cases into a class action lawsuit against the institution of segregation. Being a class action lawsuit, this gave legitimacy to groups that claimed to represent all black people, like the terroristic cop-killing RAM and Black Panthers, and the divisive riot agitating SCLC and SNCC.

Several blacks in the deep south were against the end of segregation,. They knew their black kids would be bullied in white schools. All black schools meant all black teachers (hundreds of thousands of black teachers lost their jobs) and the racial violence resulting in Brown v Board left many black resentful toward the supreme court.
When there was the freedom drive in Missippi during the civil rights era, black groups from outside of the towns they campaigned in, vandalized, looted and rioted. In the name of civil rights of course. Black community leaders that hated this were ridiculed and intimidated, murdered occasionally. But these "civil rights" groups represented all black people of course. By allowing some fanatical, racist and violent black groups the authority to represent all blacks, funded by whites in tax exempt foundations and LBJ's great society programs, we are left the ridiculous myths that >blacks in the south wanted at all costs for the federal government to throw states rights aside and intervene in state affairs >integration was the greatest thing since sliced bread >the uptake in violence that began in the fifites, resulting in a doubling in nationwide crime between 1965 and 1970, then increased until the 1980s where crime was higher than the prohibition era, had NOTHING to do with civil rights >Americans whom feared commie subversion were paranoid delusionals >All blacks just loved that asshole MLK >LBJ did nothing wrong, didnt you see the HBO movie on him with Brian Cranston?
That narrative persists today and makes the case for more government control in education, less states rights, and more racial strife. In the name of equality of course.

Ask your parents or grandparents about "inner city busing." Remember how sociologists found a black kid has to sit next to a white kid to learn? In the late sixties and seventies you had courts order several integrated schools to change busing patterns. White kids would be bussed five, twenty, sometimes fifty miles so they could go to a black school. Blacks would be bussed out of their neighborhoods fifty miles to white schools. Some kids were waking up at 4 in the morning to get to the bus stop.
What was going on in the late 60s was that the racist, anti-white black nationalists such as the Black Panthers organized in a way their members were bussed to cities all over the city and would make the climate of those schools very violent. This led to almost all the whites and many blacks to move out of neighborhoods, to get away from this backwards bussing program.This is perhaps the leading cause of white flight and urban decay in many of our cities.
Boston, Pontiac Michigan and New York were the most famous integration failing cases.
Read "Racewar in Highschool" by Harold Saltzman for a very good account of how this busing affected one school in New York.
I'd also like to add that George Wallace did nothing wrong. The speech where he says "segregation now, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever" had little mention of segregation in it. The bulk of the speech was in condemnation of the national government intervening in state's rights and he goes on to support segregation because it allows whites and blacks to govern some of their own institutions by themselves for themselves. This is moderate compared to segregationists whom wanted segregation in check to prevent a black man from even looking at a white girl. It should be no surprise many blacks in Alabama supported Wallace and his wife whom entered politics; it is also no surprise Wallace renounced segregation long before many other segregationists did.

Notice how the OP pic says "class of colored people" that is actually true according to the 14th amendment.
Board v Brown was absolutely a bad decision. It was activism but everyone pretends it was ok b/c they think segregation was bad.
Read what Bork wrote about Board v Brown
Justin Wright
this info is a little over the top for most of the people here on pol keep in mind the majority of the people here are under the age of 16 . taking that fact into consideration when using pol everything here makes more sense
Julian Lewis
Bork?

This some good red-pill shit right here user. Thanks.

Thinking of making a documentary on this. Does pol wanna help the OP?

I'd be very interested in any pro-segregation works, interviews, etc. by blacks at the time if you have them, OP. Or just anti-civil rights blacks in general. Everyone automatically takes for granted that segregation was a good thing, but it's clear that it has had massive drawbacks.
Jordan Nelson
Was a tapped to be a supreme court nominee. Teddy Kennedy blocked hos confirmation. Very interesting man also worked in DOJ during Nixon. Learn about what could have been. If you like Scalia and Thomas you would love Bork.
Isaiah Gutierrez
Nine Men Against America and Racewar in Highschool has some anti-integration quotes from blacks.
"House divided" by Lionel Lokos has a good chapter on how when MLK went to Birmingham, most of the blacks there didnt want him to visit them. They knew he'd bring riots with him. He did. MLK didnd protest for the first week he was there because he was trying to make amends with disgruntled black community leaders. When rioting broke out, the Birmingham police deputized some dozens of blacks (by putting a sticker on them lel) and had them beat up the protestors. partners.nytimes.com/library/national/race/051363race-ra.html

Robert Bork, rejected supreme court nominee. The senate hearing is really interesting youtube.com/watch?v=wRZB629o2io. Not sure what he is referring to though.
Levi Perez
No. The name of Julia Brown's book was "I Testify."
Jaxson Brooks
That article from hockless in community news has a quote towards the end of a black arguing against integration
