I had a HUGE thing for him when he started doing porn. Never knew if he escorted but I would have loved to have met him. Given the years he was active he's probably retired by now.

I wonder how much he thought about what that name means within American judicial history before he picked that stage name.

 

Something tells me he probably didn't even know.

 

The name has a complex historical meaning. From the standpoint of racial justice, Dred Scott was a hero who represented the the despicable and deceitful legal construct of "separate but equal" that was used to justify segregation for a century after the adoption of the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. It has been used as a coded reference among the anti-choice crowd to suggest that like Dred, the unborn child/fetus is denied Constitutional rights and personhood.

You’re thinking of Homer Plessy. Dred Scott sued for his freedom on the ground that he had been taken to a free state and thus become free. The Supreme Court ruled that he couldn’t sue because blacks weren‘t citizens.
