Seperate but equal is not equal at all. It was ruled uncostitutional. For further reference, go to any governmental website of a legislative nature and you'll find it. You could check the library of congress as well.

You're misquoting. It should read "Separate but equal is in fact UNequal." It comes from the Supreme Court decision that made segregation in public schools illegal, Brown vs. Board of Education, in 1954.
When considering that idea in relation to my life now, I think of attitudes about the so-called different natural abilities and tendencies of men and women. I know there are very real physiological and psychological differences between men and women. But statements like the following make me crazy: "You know, men are just better at business and women are better at domestic stuff. One's not better than the other, they're just different." Or "Girls are more sensitive and guys are better at getting along with friends." Or whatever. Some people assign certain characteristics to each gender, claim that saying they're different doesn't mean they're not equal, but always give men characteristics that are generally seen as stronger or more positive and give women weaker or less desirable characteristics. Sounds exactly like "separate and unequal" to me.

That was the Supreme Court's stand on segregation until Brown v. Board of Education came along in 1954, when they finally realized that by definition, it's not. Even if the facilities are the same, the very fact that you're denying entrance to one on the basis of race or any other factor means that you're not treating people equally.

This was the bogus reasoning in the 8-1 decison of the Supreme Court in Plessy V. Ferguson in 1896. Only John Marshall Harlan had the vision to see that our Constitution is color blind. That infamous decison was reversed in the landmark Brown V Board of Education in 1954 unanimously under the prudent leadership of Chief Justice Earl Warren.
