To relinquish or to share rights with a group of people you deem inferior to you diminishes your power. This was the thought of racist whites. We have to realize that slavery and white domination lasted for many CENTURIES. So, after many centuries of the "inherent superiority" mentality, of course, it wasn't an easy task for whites to give up or share power.
