What did Sojourner Truth mean when she said that white men are going to find themselves in a fix?
This was a partial quote. It was the beginning of a women's rights speech she gave in 1951. The speech is called, "Ain't I a Woman?" The begining of the speech went: "Well, children, where there is so much racket there must be something out of kilter. I think that 'twixt the negroes of the South and the women at the North, all talking about rights, the white men will be in a fix pretty soon. But what's all this here talking about?" Sojourner was explaining that many of the white men of the time did not see women or blacks as equals. They felt women needed to be helped into carraiges and over mud puddles, but as a woman, she had plowed fields and gathered crops. There were more to women than many men of the time believed, and they were pushing for rights. She was saying that as women and blacks started gaining rights, it was going to turn against everything these men believed.
How did the white population in Montgomery react to the bus boycott?
In general, the white population of Montgomery did not like the boycott. The African Americans involved were fighting for desegregation and the vast majority of European Americans in Montgomery (but not all) did not want their city desegregated. Many reacted violently, attacking boycotters and even firebombing four Baptist churches and the houses of boycott leaders Martin Luther King, Jr and E.D. Nixon. The membership of the white supremacist White Citizens' Council doubled during the boycott. There were also several attempts to undermine the boycott. When black taxi drivers tried to support the cause by charging boycott participants only ten cents (the same as a bus ride), city officials decided to charge a fine to any taxi driver who charged less than forty-five cents. Police often arrested these drivers for even the most minor traffic violations. They also arrested boycott participants waiting for rides for loitering. On February 21, 1956, eighty-nine African Americans, including Reverend King, were indicted under a 1921 law prohibiting boycotts. Insurance companies withdrew the policies of people using their private vehicles to give rides to boycotters. Toward the beginning of the boycott, the City Commission met with three black ministers who were not boycott leaders and offered them a compromise, which was basically no different from the system already in place. The ministers agreed and the commission planted false stories in the local papers announcing that the issue with bus company had been resolved. The boycott's actual leaders had rush around the city to convince people the stories were hoaxes to keep the boycott going. Eventually, white business owners realized the boycott was bad for business. They were losing thousands of dollars because African Americans rarely made the journey into downtown to go shopping now that they were mostly traveling by foot. The business community formed a group called the Men of Montgomery and tried to negotiate directly with the boycotters to end the protest, but talks broke down and the boycott continued until the Supreme Court ruled in the boycotters' favor and issued its mandate. Unfortunately, the violence did not end once the black community started to use the buses again. Buses had to stop running after 5pm because there were incidents where snipers shot at buses. One group tried to start a whites-only bus service. There were bombings at four Baptist churches, two black leaders' homes, another black person's home, and the People's Service Station and Cab Stand. An unexploded bomb was found on Reverend King's porch. There were a few white people who supported the boycott and desegregation in general. Montgomery resident Sarah Herbert, along with a small group of white women, used to drive boycotters where they needed to go. White supporters often suffered for affiliating themselves with the boycott. Reverend Robert Graetz's family was ostracized and their home was bombed three times (only twice successfully).

Do black women love white men?
Can a white man love a black woman? Yes, quite devotedly. I'm going to address this in general. Of course, there are always exceptions. Some white men preffer black women because they find the type attractive. Some white men will attempt to date any race of woman if she is also willing. Many white (American) men veiw women of other races with the following steriotypes: Latin women are 'technically' white and therefore are may be acceptable. Asian women are "almost white" and therefore may be acceptable. Black women are black. And, they come with associations of poverty, the ghetto, loudness, tackiness, non-femininity, and undesirable social status. I'm sorry if this is offensive, but this has been my experience in dealing with many white males. This white man LOVES big black women, the more the merrier!!!!!!
