People believed there were some instances where segregation was not important. They believed they should be able to decide
case by case.
People knew that the reality of the situation was based upon inequality. If institutions were separate, they could not be equal.
People thought it was unnecessary to make such a ruling. If people did not like their situation, they must improve it themselves.
People wanted a chance to live their own lives in their separate communities without the interference of government.
