Were those who supported it and demanded Civil Rights for everyone, EXTREME? Should they have just kept quiet about it until it miraculously, all be itself, became NOT EXTREME?
What you are saying makes ZERO sense. You are saying that people should be quiet about issues as long as they are not accepted by a majority, and UNTIL that happens.
So everyone who speaks out about injustices and wrong policies that are harmful to this country is 'extreme'.
So who will decide when it's okay to demand what is right for all of the people?
We've had an awful lot of 'extremists' in this country throughout its history according to your assessment.
Consider me an extremist and a proud one, certainly I have been called that when I support Gay Marriage and was told 'the time is not right', by some on the 'Left' and called an 'extremist' by both the Right and 'moderates' on the Left.
Now I'm an extremist on SS, on Foreign Policy, on Education, on The Environment, on holding Criminals no matter how wealthy, accountable.
Which issues is it okay to talk about without falling into your extremist category.
You seem to be saying that the people should follow the Party and just wait until something is okay with the Party.
Lol, if people had done that, we would still be living in the 18th Century on women's and minority issues.
MLK was quite the extremist, wasn't he?
