What would have been the point of doing it alone? Having men like Frederick Douglass to lobby lawfully, lawfully being the key word, to assist the cause built a more powerful argument. Otherwise, abolitionists of then faced the same uphill battle as abolitionists do today in trying to abolish abortion: they were shut down by the agnorant slogan: "My plantation, my prerogative!"
Even then, extreme hatred of blacks wasn't widespread until the embrace by the masses of Charles Darwin, who labeled them "inferior monkeys." Yet, the brainlets of that time blamed it on churches that were actively resisting Darwinism, rather than on the social Darwinists actually advancing the sentiment!
Chattel slavery didn't exist in America until a black man enslaved another one. Even Stowe admitted Legreean sadist archetypes were the minority. But then showed that the politics of slavery ultimately hurt slaves and masters alike.
Wokeism and CRT couldn't be more frauds if they tried. BLM needs to gain 5000 points just to have zero credibility! The only blacks it's helped, are its rabble-rousers at the tip top. Who kept the lion's share of proceeds for themselves after 2020! Nothing but a massive grift!
Every law changed required pressure to have it changed. By every type of American. But even when (f) laws repugnant to God and the constitution were in place, plenty of whites chose to obey God rather than the DNC. Otherwise, the Underground Railroad would have never existed! Where is BLM's gratitude to those Quakers and others who defied tyranny to do what was right, when they're burning, looting, and murdering total strangers today that have no relation to the slaveowners of lore?
Most white family lines of the Old Slave South are already extinct. A majority of the dominant white families in modern America trace back to WWI. Refugees fleeing Kaiser Wilhelm. So to hate on them, and blame them for slaves they never owned for the fact that you can't get a job at a gas station due to a felony on your record for smoking near a gas pump when you're only 16; and getting caught, is the xenith of ignorance and stupidity! But that's how CRT and Wokeism so poison the mind against rational thought.
I was too young back then to remember everything but Abraham Lincoln changed everything thank God that we all should walk to the light together as one because that's what we really are I didn't have anything to do with anything back then in my mind I could say so I could care less or in my heart I could say what the fuck where we thinking why did we listen to old fucking men the fucking were afraid or scared they were just fucking greedy trying to get somebody to do something that they wouldn't do themselves is bullshit we should have all learned way back then thank God for history but whatever it might be I can't look at myself as I'm even talking to you right now I cannot see color I can see Injustice because it's right in front of me everyday I'm not going to change it by myself I'm going to change my being calm and being smart I don't feel guilty I don't feel sadness I don't feel anything except for today I feel like I have to change things to make it bright we all have human rights we are all human peacefully calmly we need to become one we all are going to need each other soon and if you don't understand that I feel bad for you because it's right in front of our faces happening every day we are being pushed against each other we are being manipulated 4 greenford their purpose is our government purposes it's all a bull shit by we need to do this on our own anyway we know what's happening and we need to all change it like I've always said if you can't be a part of the solution get off the fucking planet because being part of the problem is holding everything else back holding us all back one day at a time one step at a time one voice at a time it will get done, calmly what day you will do great leader but you have many steps you have to take before you get there and you have to make the right choices and you have to do a calmly not in left field not in right field it's all one field.
Yeah but until relatively recently white people were the dominant power group in American society so their support was needed to get rid of racist laws by any means short of armed revolution (and that might also have failed since white people at the time were the majority in numbers and controlled the military)
Tough one.
I can't answer your question directly.
Racism is still going on in today's world. A lot less then the past.
We the people of all races need to stand up for all, peace, love and respect.

But I would say, it isn't up to "White" people to know all about racism or what is offensive. In fact, I would say that any group that feels there is an issue has to stand up and voice that issue. It is then up to everyone else to decide if they will continue to offend or not.
Many American Indians have talked about the mascot issue. It is up to different organizations or groups to decide if they will respect their wishes or ignore them. Most folks only respond when the pain is felt in their wallet.

There's lots of racist practices that were stopped in a local place by white people. Like some slave owners educated their slaves and did other stuff that they didn't have to, because they felt it was right. Also there were black slave owners & rich black people during slavery but the "all white people are evil" pushers don't want to talk about such things.
And when in history do people get something of value without a struggle? I bet the founders of the U. S. would have loved it if they could have gotten free from England with zero complaining and fighting. The colonies had wanted freedom for GENERATIONS before it happened. That's life.
Some white people defied segregation laws to engage in interracial marriage.
Musicians were some of the first to integrate their bands and normalize the presence of blacks.
As opposed to being forced to change their racist thinking, a whole lot of whites worked with their black brothers and sisters to force changes in the law and end segregation.
In the 1960s, the U. S. population was around 194 million. Whites comprised 88.6% of the population. There were approx 19 million African Americans. So, in reality, there were more whites supporting the civil rights movement than blacks.
This is a good point. a lot of the time majority groups dont care about the minority group and get angry and feel threatened and then act and take on negative streotypes they would accuse the minority of being. I am both a majority group and a minority group so I can to an extent empathize with your pain. I can't really mention one, and I say the same thing myself, unfortantely so many white people shut me out and accuse me of being an sjw when im jsus trying to make an objective point.
Let me look and see if there is any. I guess the civil rights acts of the 60s,
Maybe banning negro discrimination in the MLB and not forcing Jackie robinson to play in the negro leagues anymore
u I doubt you'll find many laws, or ways of life, that are changed solely because the people in power (at the time) choose to. Why would they? It's not a racial issue, because it's not limited to race.
Sure, you have slavery, and the civil rights movement, but those are hardly the only ones. Look at women's voting rights, the signing of the Magna Carta, or the French Revolution, just to name a few. Those are all situations in which the people in power either bowed to pressure, or were forced to make changes, either giving/sharing power with others, or weakening their own power. They had nothing to do with race, because it's not unique to race.
It's simply that those in power will maintain the status quo, unless they are given a reason to make a change, which generally requires some sort of action by those that don't have that authority.
Republicans talk BS about "White Savior Complex" on the left when they can't shut up about how the Republican Party was the abolition party and whenever the issue of reparations are brought up, they talk about how "white people fought and died to free you from slavery!"
While most people are aware that there were black soldiers that fought in the Civil War, very few are aware that by the end of the war, they were 10% of the Union Army.
Don't you ever look in the mirror and notice that the only racist person left is you?
That's not to say it's only you but only black people talk about race and discriminate according to race and blame all failures on race.
Guess what. Life is a b! tch it's unfair to everyone. Even 1% rich people find themselves on the short end of a stick from time to time.
Just stop complaining already because no one cares. No one is gonna kneel and bow and let you step on their head just because your great great great great grandparents were slaves brought in chains from africa.
They are dead and so are the people who put them through that. This is a new dawn and a new generation and you're still trying to drive a racial wedge between people
It's sad that you're basing your beliefs on some random person in TikTok. :-(
Slavery was made illegal in the Northern States before the Civil War, and then President Lincoln initiated the Emancipation Proclamation that freed saves in the Southern States, with support from whites and blacks.
Maybe not racist but prejudice. The "tignon law" which meant black woman hair was illegal and we had to cover it with headwraps
I think the most important one of all it was when a group of Republicans white guys got together and appointed Abraham Lincoln white guy as their first president of the Republican party to abolish slavery. For with Democrats more fighting tooth and nail to keep slavery legal and did not want to let it go. Although blacks fought in the civil War it was a bunch of white guys that initiated it to shut up a bunch of racist Democrats.
Slavery. Nobody other than white people could vote or hold office, and therefore nobody else had a say in ending it. They fought a war to end it, and a huge amount of them died for it. Then, they offered free passage back to Africa to a beautiful, fertile nation they bought for ex-slaves, and a lot of them took them up on the offer. Know what they did when they got there? Enslaved each other, and turned Liberia into the war-torn, drug infested shithole it is today
You might want to watch the video which gives a run down on slavery and how it started being banned.
It's quite uncommon for ANY type of laws to be changed without FIRST, people complaining about them, proposing ideas for change, and promoting those ideas. Take your anti-white hate somewhere else. And you might wanna stop listening to race baiters. All they'll do is poison you against your neighbors and create more toxicity where there doesn't need to be any.
How about all of the “ White” people that died in the civil war fighting to end slavery?
You didn’t mention the Black Tribes that captured other black people and sold them to the slave traders.
I believe that some countries outlawed buying from these slave traders!
Lmao🥴
Ummm... well there's 🤔
Hmmm... well that one time when... hmm🤔
Idk🤷🏽♀️
Slavery... ended by the US Civil War / Restoration which included the Emancipation Proclamation and the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments.
People are no longer allowed to do blackface as a Halloween costume cause it has ties to slavery but the bigger changes always requires rallies and marches.
*watching all the triggered cult followers go anon and stir their shit pot*
The only "systemically" racist laws in the USA are AGAINST White people and against men.
Name one single law that POC totally on their own changed to help White people?
