Sorry for the double post, but this doesn't really fit with my last one.
Right, but at least MLK distanced himself from the extremists and openly voiced his disapproval of their actions, as opposed to just sweeping them under the rug and claiming that "not all Civil Rights Advocates are like that".
Well, I hesitate to bring up examples of misandry, but how about the significant amount of transphobia in the movement at large, that's existed from the second-wave on?
But there are crazy and immoral parts of practically every movement in history. Should Martin Luther King jr. have publicly apologized on the Black Panther's behalf and said "we really should rethink this whole civil rights thing, I mean look at these guys, they're shooting people for it. That's not good. I guess we're just not very moral people."
