If a case involves race discrimination, where does it go according to the Civil Rights Act of 1866?

Cases involving race discrimination under the Civil Rights Act of 1866 are specifically intended to be addressed in federal court. This act is a federal law that aims to protect individuals from discrimination based on race. When a case arises under this law, it typically falls within the jurisdiction of federal courts because federal laws supersede state laws in such matters, and these courts are equipped to handle violations related to civil rights.

Additionally, federal courts are designed to ensure uniformity in the interpretation and enforcement of federal laws across all states, which is crucial for maintaining consistent protections against discrimination. This is why race discrimination claims under the Civil Rights Act of 1866 are not directed to state courts or local forums; these venues may not have the authority to apply federal statutes.
