"In an interview last week, Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson said transgender people should have their own bathrooms. Seriously, Ben?
Separate can never be equal. History has proven that this is not an acceptable answer to questions of inequality, and as a person who's known that he was transgender from a very young age, I can assure you that going to the bathroom safely, and with as few issues as possible, is not "extra rights."

I can't believe that Ben Carson doesn't understand that he is repeating the same oppression that has been used against his race in the past - the irony is unbelievable - the oppressed have become the oppressors.
Separate water fountains indeed ::) :-\
