Well, yes. In the mid 20th Century, Thurgood Marshall and the NAACP systematically went after the Jim Crow interpretation of the Constitution. If libertarians are yearning for the good old days of Jim Crow, I'll dissent.

Jefferson wrote that all men are created equal. In his time, white male land owning men were a lot more equal than others. I for one will advocate the principle of equality beyond the extent that existed in colonial times. Progressives tend to believe in progress. Conservatives, not so much. A return to Jim Crow era values is out of the question.
