it wasn't technically but no-one really minded if a white person did kill a black person because they used to believe that black people weren't as intelligent, or as civilized, or as human as white people were, and they were thought of as less important.

What case said racial segregation in public facilities was legal?
You are probably thinking of the 1898 Supreme Court case "Plessy vs. Ferguson." It involved a light-skinned black man named Homer Plessy who sat in the "whites only" section of a Louisiana train. He was arrested, and became determined to challenge what he saw as an unjust law. Sad to say, the Supreme Court upheld the segregation of railway cars (and everything else): as long as the facilities were equal for blacks and whites, it was okay to keep the two races separate. Of course, facilities were not equal for blacks-- whites had better schools, better housing, more opportunities to use libraries and other public buildings, etc. But the court had codified segregation, and the decision would not be overturned till 1954's "Brown vs. Board of Education."

The question raised in the Plessy v Ferguson and Brown v Board of Education Supreme Court cases was that of racial segregation. Is it okay, and if so, how should it be done? In Plessy (the earlier case), it was determined that segregation was okay as long as the facilities and education were equal. In Brown (the later case), it was decided that legalized segregation is *inherently* unequal, and it was forbidden.
