Black Americans were afraid to testify against whites in the South due to a pervasive culture of violence and intimidation. The threat of retaliation from white communities, including lynching and other forms of violence, was a significant deterrent. Additionally, systemic racism within the legal system often meant that their testimonies would be disregarded or that they would face further discrimination. This created a climate of fear that discouraged many from seeking justice.
