In 1896 I strongly disagreed with the Supreme Courts majority decison stating that the 14th amendment sees the races as equal before the law but allowed state laws to separate people by race. Who am I?

You are Justice John Marshall Harlan. In his dissenting opinion in the landmark case Plessy v. Ferguson, Harlan argued that the Constitution is color-blind and that the state-sanctioned segregation upheld by the majority violated the principles of equality enshrined in the 14th Amendment. He famously stated, "The Constitution is not color-blind."
