Did the slaves revolt?
Did they overthrow the whites and win their freedom?
Or did whites fight and die for black freedom?
How did blacks achieve the right to vote?
With violent revolution? Or did whites, who had the only right to vote at the time, elect legislators who favored and fought for equality?
Both some whites and blacks played a part. Nat Turner revolted along with the slaves that left the plantation and fought with the North for their freedom. Malcolm X and Martin Luther King were both very instrumental parts of Blacks gaining the right to vote.
If you are white in America:
You can be burned alive
Beaten to death
Shot in the back
See your baby shot in the head
And the crime will be smoothed over, glossed over and called isolated incidents.

I think you mean MOSTLY whites, and some blacks played a part.
Malcolm X and Martin Luther King drew attention to the problem, but it was the white majority that implemented the morally right path to the Voting Rights Act.
The Northern Armies were 95% white.
The 14th Amendment, ratified and adopted by whites.
Those whites didn't have any skin in the game.
It didn't benefit them.
They did it for the sole reason that is was the right thing to do.

My favorite comedians: Louis CK, Ellen DeGeneres, Dennis Miller, Lewis Black, depending on my mood.
Independents just like to laugh, we don't pigeon-hole the comedian. Kinda defeats the point.

If isn't easy or fair. Blacks would do a lot better giving up the victim mindset and working hard.
Show me where or what is holding them back??? Saying something doesn't make it so.

You miss some important points. Freedom would have been a long time coming if it wasnt for political reasons so dont make it seem like most whites wanted to free the slaves. Malcolm X and King gave white america a choice. The easy way or the hard way. Yes there were whites who helped even if it was silent approval but dont make the mistake of thinking Black people just sat passively by hoping for a change.

Are you refuting anything I posted?
Union Army overwhelmingly white.
14th Amendment (1868) written, ratified and adopted by whites.
How many black congressmen were there to vote on the Civil Rights Act of 1957.
How about the Civil Rights Act of 1960?
How about the Civil Rights Act of 1964?
Or the Voting Rights Act of 1968?
The answer is...six.
The other 327 votes in the House and 77 in the Senate (Voting Rights Act totals) were cast by whites.
Are you getting my point?
Slavery was morally wrong.
Some whites owned slaves, but other whites worked on the side of freedom and equality.
And in the 20th Century, a white majority chose legislators who enshrined the will of the people into laws that protected the rights and freedoms of all Americans.

Not really interested in refuting the above questions.

Well, of course you're not.
There is no refutation.
Those are the facts.
It's a hard pill to swallow, but it is the truth.
When the South rose up against the Union in rebellion, they were crushed.
They didn't just put the North "on notice", they ACTED...and they were defeated, and the carpetbaggers moved in and reconstruction was the order of the day.
That is EXACTLY what would have happened to the blacks, so the "on notice" argument? That dog won't hunt.
Whites get the credit, because they did it...they did what was right, not under threat, but because it was the right thing to do.
I wouldn't be interested in refuting the truth either.
Here's a hint for you:
He's a comedian. He doesn't have to say anything truthful, or fact based.
You're welcome.
Chris Rock would run over you like the pebble you are on the vast highway of the uneducated and unwashed.
