30. Jim Crow was inforced by private citizens

Who shot "uppity blacks". Night riders were groups often synonymous with the clan that spread terror through out the post war South.

In California anti Chinese vigilantes killed dozens of people.

Across Texas and the other former Mexican possessions violence by armed white racists terrorized Americans of Latin descent.

Native Americans have been killed out of hand by private citizens.

This is all stuff you should have learned in High School.

Other rights involve political stances that are irrelevant to this argument.

The OP includes those "other" rights so they are relevant to this thread.

You seem to be advocating para-military violence with armed groups supporting oppression on one side and on the other using armed violence in retaliation.
Wouldn't a nation ruled by laws be a better alternative?
