In a narrow decision passed down by the US Supreme Court the contentious Racial Equality Act (REA)was declared the legal and binding law of the land. Writing for the majority, Justice Clarence Thomas reasoned that the only solution to end racism is to reverse skin colors, whereby the skin of white people will be dyed black, and the skin of black people will be bleached white.
Supporters were pleased with the ruling, saying that it levels the playing field for blacks, while admitting the law stops short of addressing other race-related discriminatory practices based on lip size and hair texture.
Opponents complained that blacks, with their athletic superiority, already have a competitive advantage without a level playing field.
