Abolitionist

(from “Slavery Without Submission, Emancipation Without Freedom”)
- Someone who wanted to end slavery and the slave trade
- Racism of white abolitionists revealed itself because white abolitionists talked about ending slavery, but they never actually took action to end it. White abolitionists were also considered racist because they still viewed blacks as inferior to whites. Blacks couldn’t have the same privileges as whites, and that’s how they wanted to keep it.
- Racists would be abolitionists because they wanted to get some sort of personal gain out of saying that they tried to end slavery. Deep down they don’t care about blacks, just their own reputations.
