    Psychologist here:

    You’re stuck on number 4 mate.

    It was legal to force African Americans to give up their seats to whites on the bus, until a lot of highly moral activity that was illegal at the time changed that.

    Jim Crow would likely still be in full force today had it not been for adult levels of moral outrage, with accompanying illegal demonstration, that superceded immoral laws.

    It’s a tragic mistake to conflate legality with morality.
