how about jim crow laws? should we have obeyed them or protested them
and disobeyed them?



Laws and the social acceptance of them are two different things.
If the laws are outdated, unenforceable or just plain wrong, there is a
legal process
available to change them. Inviting or risking conflict and violence is
not
the means.


why obey laws that are plainly unjust? one way to change them is to
disobey them

And if the court decides your version of the law is in error, you spend time
in the greybar hotel.
