Here's a crazy idea. You may have heard that black people in the United States have historically been oppressed. (It's true -- I'm not making this up.) Now, while I realize that of course 95% of the credit in abolishing Jim Crow must of course go to secular Marxists, who are at the spearpoint of every social change, some small middling role was played by the churches. (You might think that "Let My People Go" is a secular song with all its references to such famous atheists as Moses and Pharoah, but really, believe it or not, it's Christian. I swear!) Sometimes, black churches would get firebombed and stuff. There was even this religious guy named Martin Luther King, who was named after some other religious guy, who did almost as much for the Civil Rights Movement as the Socialist Worker's Party. His picture is on black people's walls and stuff, even though he wasn't a gay-marriage activist. For real! So just maybe there might be the tiniest, littlest
^^^ CB: However, Black people's motives in seeking greater freedom were _secular_, not so much religious. Jim Crow existed on earth, not in heaven.
Now many of the _white_ supporters of the movement to end Jim Crow may have been influenced by religious and moral reasons and pleas from MLKing and others. And it _was_ the white mass opposition that ended Jim Crow, as whites were the majority of the national population who influenced the Congress, LBJ et al to change the laws. Anyway, it was the religion and morality of _white_ people that made the difference.
