Based on what you have learned, is the idea of “separate but equal” facilities consistent with the Fourteenth Amendment? Use evidence to support your answer.

The "Separate but Equal" facilities doctrine is not consistent with the Fourteenth Amendment.

The dubious practice was anathema and an affront to the Fourteenth Amendment. It never complied with the law nor made efforts to end the driving force behind the law.

The Fourteenth Amendment bestowed citizenship to every person in the United States after its ratification in 1868. By giving equal protection to all citizens, the amendment sought to end all forms of slavery and segregation, legitimizing that all peoples were created equal before God.

Human beings subvert laws and principles to suit their caprices. Acceptance that black slaves were equal to white owners existed during slavery. Whites begot children for black women and vice versa. The relationship is the highest form of acknowledging equality and sameness.

The case of Plessy v. Ferguson (1896) was a myopic response to white supremacists demands and remained a landmark judgment that reinforced segregation until the famous Brown v. Board of Education (1954) overturned the "separate but equal" doctrine.

Thus, building separate but equal facilities for blacks under the same structure is a contradiction and remains the highest form of denial.

In no way was the idea of "separate but equal" consistent with the provisions of the Fourteenth Amendment, which basically establishes equal rights between African Americans and whites in the country, and admits the citizenship of black people.

The racist governments in the south of the country sought a mechanism to, without manifestly contravening this amendment, segregate the African American population and separate it from the white population. To do this, they sought to comply with the rights established in the Constitution, but through different services from those of whites, and of much lower quality.

Thus, with the complicity of the judicial systems, they violated the principle of equality of the Constitution, protecting themselves in an alleged legality of the "separate but equal" system.
