Some people blame an entire group without understanding history, overlooking that some white people have supported Black equality.
Indifference and Resistance:
Historically, the majority of white people have been indifferent or resistant to Black equality. This pattern persists across political parties, regions, and ages.
Evidence from History:
Surveys, polls, interviews, voting records, and speeches from slavery to the Civil Rights Movement to Black Lives Matter show consistent resistance or indifference.
Facing Reality for Change:
Acknowledging this historical pattern is essential for driving meaningful change, rather than labeling people as inherently bad.
Conclusion:
To create progress, we must confront and understand this historical indifference and resistance.
