A Quote by David Lammy

Separate but equal is a fraud. — © David Lammy
Separate but equal is a fraud.
I cannot understand how the education of this United States of America has been fooled time and time again. Either make it separate but equal or integrate, therefore it will be equal. And it has been separate and unequal.
Let me speak frankly: separate but equal is a fraud. It is the language that tried to push Rosa Parks to the back of the bus. It is the motif that determined that black and white people could not possibly drink from the same water fountain, eat at the same table or use the same toilets.
Put simply, we must always remember that separate but equal is not equal.
Fraud is fraud. And consumers of any product - whether you want to buy a car, participate in fantasy football - our laws are very strong in New York and other states that you can't commit fraud.
We're going after the possibilities of tax fraud, insurance fraud, securities fraud. We're going to look at this stuff very closely. We have the jurisdiction, we have the resources, and we have the will.
Separate but equal does not work.
We cannot say to one couple that their love is deserving of marriage and to another that their love should only be called a partnership. 'Separate but equal' is never equal. Children of same-sex couples should not grow up wondering why their family is treated differently from other families
If you see fraud and do not say fraud, you are a fraud.
Separate but equal is terrible for education but it's perfect for eyebrows.
America is the promised land, because each generation bequeathed to its children a promise, a promise that they might not come to enjoy but which they fully expected their offspring to fulfill. So the words 'all men are created equal' took a life of its own, ultimately destined to end slavery and enfranchise women. And the words 'equal protection' and 'due process' inevitably led to the end of the words 'separate but equal,' ensuring that the walls of segregation would crumble, whether at the lunch counter or at the voting booth.
In The Field Of Public Education, The Doctrine Of 'Separate But Equal' Has No Place
We conclude that in the field of public education the doctrine of 'separate but equal' has no place.
We are supposed to all be equal before the law, but we have a separate and distinct ruling class, and that is wrong.
You constantly hear about voter fraud... but you don't see huge amounts of vote fraud out there.
There were 23 or 24 separate tax cuts during the Giuliani administration. I'd love to be able to equal that.
I say to my colleagues that I sit alongside them in committee, in the bars and in the tea room, and I queue alongside them in the division lobby. But when it comes to marriage, they are asking me to stand apart and to join a separate queue. I ask my colleagues, if I am equal in this house, to give me every opportunity to be equal.
