In the 60s: Medgar Evers was assassinated. MLK Jr., assassinated. Malcolm X, assassinated. Herbert Lee, murdered by Mississippi State Rep E. H. Hurst in broad daylight. William Lewis Moore, assassinated during a protest march in Alabama. Louis Allen, murdered on his own property. https://twitter.com/revrrlewis/status/1292808081307508738

James Earl Chaney, murdered by KKK during "Freedom Summer". Andrew Goodman, murdered by KKK during "Freedom Summer". Michael Shwerner, murdered by KKK during "Freedom Summer". James Reeb, murdered by segregationists. Viola Liuzzo, murdered by the KKK in Montgomery. All in the 60s

Jonathan Daniels, murdered by cop while protecting Ruby Sales. Sammy Younge Jr, murdered for trying to desegregate a "whites only" restroom. Vernon Dahmer, murdered by KKK. Wharlest Jackson, assassinated by car bomb. Fred Hampton, shot & killed in his bed. All USA, all in the 60s

I understand it is easier for those who benefit from the status quo to take any disruption of their comfort as threat. But people do not exist to make Fox News pundits comfortable. To wax nostalgic for how American civil rights activists were treated in the 60s is beyond the pale

Government not affording all people equal protection of the law is against my libertarian principles. Segregation & Jim Crow laws did not. "Equal and different" was a white supremacist lie, and one long debunked by the Supreme Court of the United States. https://twitter.com/xtreme_cent/status/1293138135342362627?s=20
