The correct answer is: **Separate accommodations are not acceptable.**
**Reasoning:** The political cartoon contrasts the two train cars, representing the unequal treatment and conditions of facilities designated for White people versus those designated for Black individuals under Jim Crow laws. The clean and well-maintained 'Car for White Folks' juxtaposed with the dirty and damaged 'Jim Crow Car' illustrates the inherent inequality and injustice of segregation. This imagery suggests that separate accommodations—while legally upheld in the Plessy v. Ferguson ruling—are fundamentally unequal and thus not acceptable.
