"Chief Justice of the United States"
Chief Justice Earl Warren
Chief Warren never agreed to support segregation, and was always against the idea of segregation. His decision wasn’t firm and showed lack of confidence, which confused people who did not have any information on American race relations. Warren tries to speak that separating the black people from the whites only causes the black people to feel less important than the whites. He said,
“To separate them from others of similar age and qualifications solely because of their race generates a feeling of inferiority as to their status in the community that may affect their hearts and minds in a way unlikely ever to be undone.”
Warren likes how the lower courts interprets the policy of separating the races as symbolizing the black periople as inferior and low ranked. Warren also speaks in Bolling v. Sharpe case that segregation is not related to the objectives of the government. Chief Warren never talked about the reason of segregation but wanted to say an opinion that cannot cause anyone to be accused and try to get rid of the segregation story. Through this, the white supremacists wanted to separate pursuants by their race by using threats that comes from the state. Hence Ackerman wrote,
"[i]f taken seriously, the principles announced in Earl Warren’s great opinion have a broad reach: blacks and women, Muslim and Hispanic Americans, the mentally and physically disabled, gays, lesbians, and the transgendered—all these people often find themselves in conditions of institutionalized humiliation. They are all entitled to constitutional protection under Brown’s understanding of the Equal Protection Clause . . . .35.”
But Warren’s opinion was not clear and did not clearly state everything. He was not clear about the Court invalidation on segregations in schools on the key of social significance in school, the psychological effects on the black students get from segregation, was the government purposely allowing segregation, the separation of people according to their race.
