Course, there just might be some difference between liberals in the 60's and liberals today. Sort of like how there might be some difference between conservatives in 2015 and conservatives today? Nowadays, liberals calling for action and real progressivism instead of words and symbolic gestures are sjws and far-left antifa super soldier radicals and/or anarchists. I'm not sure that conservatives are even allowed to utter the empty words and remain conservatives. They've gotta hedge it with some blood and soil and fine people negotiations.
again no wrong answers here, but are you saying liberals today can and do intend to offer black people more than the liberals who stood down the old school kkk?
Again no wrong answers but to me the 1960 marches were the purest form of liberalism and what was fundamentally good about the movement. so many people were liberated and given rights... today it seems like people are just trying to recapture that same sense of purpose and right doing, so they can excuse what is actually happening/looting and riots. back then the riots were out of control because the police looked to destroy/do things people claim to day/they did with impunity then... and this is the era X says was the most corrupt for liberal minded whites..
Not only that did you listen to the whole tape? he semi embraces conservatives IF THE LEADERS were to truly seek out and honestly try and give what the black man truly wants. meaning this was not an anti white message at all as he seemed to yield to having white people in authority through his life time anyway. so he implores blacks to vote and to be wary of all liberal whites as they then wer evil incarnate.

not my video only need to listen for the first 2 mins, the rest is a rally cry for black people to vote and for the party he supports to support black people in earnest.

I think he was largely spot on - for 1963. As Nudger said, things are somewhat different today.
Boru
what in your mind was evil then and is better today? I always thought liberalism was in it's purest form back then

The Democratic Party will not be getting my vote in 2020 ; they are unworthy of Black America's allegiance.
And I am far from alone in that sentiment.
did you always think this way?
