Non-feasance

[Barksdale, Yvette]

"As to rest,  anybody who wants to study the history can find the 101
ways that the Civil War Amendments were evaded or limited, without a
word about race every having been uttered."

 

Yes, but this was done by people who were hostile to the interests of
people of a particular racial group. The idea was to evade the Civil War
Amendments in order to subjugate and oppress people based upon their
race. 

 

Here, the idea is to liberate people of particular racial groups who
have been subjugated and oppressed in the past.  The two are not
synonymous

Marty Lederman:

 

Thanks for the quick reply.  I had seen Balkin, but not Gerken.

 

The point I want to emphasize is non-feasance on the part of the state
attorney general, unless I have fot the facts wrong.  I am not detached
on this one, and I think the state AG is as deficient as were the
Southern AGs at an earlier time.

 

As to rest,  anybody who wants to study the history can find the 101
ways that the Civil War Amendments were evaded or limited, without a
word about race every having been uttered.

 

What also impresses me is the lethargy, sluggishness, inattentiveness
and, dare I say it, non-feasance of titular civil rights leadership.

 

If I am error, I am sure someone will tell me how and why.

	Am I correctly informed (via The New York Times)  that Nebraska
has adopted a statute providing for an African American, a white, and a
Hispanic school district in Omaha?

	 

	Is this, if true,  not patently in conflict with the overt
language of Brown v. Board of Education?

	 

	If that is true, is not the state attorney general not patently
guilty of non-feasance (if not worse) in not so advising the
legislature?
