Absolutely! That is why the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment is there. IT is the USA law why those Jim Crow laws were Unconstitutional.

I would go a step further and say that Jim Crow was in violation of our inalienable rights.

Well, the people who ruled Plessy vs Ferguson (1896) would very heartily disagree with you.

The idea there was, SHUT UP you fucking 7/8 white n*****, the state making you pay full fare while forcing you to the back of the train is indeed Constitutional, SO SHUT UP!!

And so it was the law of the land, for 5 decades, thanks to states rights conservatives.
