Look at the Supreme Court decision of Plessy v. Ferguson (1896) and you see the phrase of "separate but equal" in determining that separate facilities were fine and not discriminating.

However, that was overturned in 1954 with Brown v. Board of Education that separate facilities did in fact discriminate against a group of people.

So, the answer to your question is YES. What do you say and back up your reply with fact please.
