When I was a kid, growing up in the Deep South during the 50’s and 60’s, every public building, bus station, gas station, department store and restaurant had three sets of restrooms, Men - Women and - Colored. Sometimes there were men and women ‘Colored’ separated.

Some restaurants, not all, had separate dining facilities for blacks and whites, if they served blacks at all.
I remember the Greyhound bus station in our local small town had two complete and totally separate snack bar / restaurants for whites and blacks, and two separate waiting room areas for passengers waiting for the bus.

Even as a child I thought this was extremely stupid, if just from an economic standpoint. Building extra restrooms was an expensive proposition, and completely unnecessary and immoral as well.

‘Separate but Equal’ should have died in 1965, but I guess the ‘smart people’ in our universities have resurrected it from the dead.

What will these idiots in ‘academia’ want next? Separate drinking fountains?............................
