I remember marching against that insult so that you could sit where ever you wanted. We fought against segregation. Cream puffs are now demanding it. Your own children are bringing it back.

There are many different aspects and layers to the era of lawful segregation, that are far too numerous to identify in one post.
First and foremost the races were separated UNEQUALLY, and it was expected that black citizens were to be subservient and obedient towards white citizens......no matter if said white citizens were as impoverished as they were if not more so.
That being said, if you in fact are actually old enough to have marched (as some whites did) that is commendable on your part, and appreciated by those like me who remember what it was like back then, but comparing the era of lawfully mandated segregation where one entire race of people is marginalized, to black college students having the OPTION of residing in a dormitory that is for black students is totally different.
In order to accurately replicate the era of lawful segregation, it would require the dehumanization of one race and the elevating of another.
