Depends.  The dems who attempt to stand down modern white supremacy are demonized, even within their own supposed party, and obviously by conservatives across the board.  I'd say that those liberals, yes..would hope to offer more than people who merely told the kkk to go home, when they managed to do so, usually out of fear that the kkk made them look bad rather than any impulse to solidarity or a sense of being the same people..as Those People™.  

I'd note, as well, that the democratic party of the 60's was racist as fuck, openly racist as fuck.  You're thinking of the post malcom x democratic party, which, right up until his death, was in the process of reforming itself.  

Quote: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..  
Doesn't seem like anyone was given anything judging by the situation we find ourselves in today.  The premise of the civil rights movement has been notably squandered.

Quote: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.
Republicans, at that time, were more in favor of the civil rights act than dems were...for context.

As I've already commented on..things have changed...even as others remain the same. My family, for example, were solid democrat voters throughout the 60's and also incredibly racist. Still racist...but they're dyed in the wool trumpists today. They didn't change. Todays trumpists literally were the 60's - we've mythologized them. Malcom had my family dead to rights, even if we're an extreme example...but I doubt that we are, lol.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
