"Rut: I wouldn't go around disparaging white people. After all, it was predominately white lawmakers who provided the laws that ensure equal rights for all."

And it was Southern white lawmakers who refused to ratify the Constitution if it contained an Amendment to abolish slavery. It too 78 years, and the most horrible war this nation suffered, to ratify the 13th Amendment. And another 76 years to do away with "legal" segregation.
