Because "separate" was never "equal" in reality. Although white and black schools educated students in separate buildings, more money was poured into the white system; new books were given to whites, while years old, tattered books were handed down to black students; and even there were twice the number of black students per black teachers as there were white students to white teachers. School buildings were shabby and went unrepaired, classroom resources weren't there in black schools unless the teachers forked over the money for them... So, of course, it was a given that they were actually "unequal." Also, research the doll test used in the case. It's sad that the results of that test still hold true in modern times.

The US Supreme Court determined segregation is unconstitutional because it violates the Fourteenth Amendment Equal Protection Clause. The act of separating the population by race implies one race is inferior to the other and, in fact, African-Americans were treated as inferior under segregation.
