In a bold display of historical illiteracy, Fox's Brian Kilmeade complains that today's civil rights movement is less peaceful than the civil rights movement of the 1960s. His critique is almost indistinguishable from those made by people who opposed civil rights in the 1960s.pic.twitter.com/w1ek00o5PU

This is always the critique made by those who are on the wrong side of history. "I would support them, if only they were more civil or only if they protested in the right way." No, you either support civil rights or you don't.

You can't claim the civil rights movements of the past while doing everything in your power to thwart the current movements for equal rights, justice, and liberation.

None of this even touches on how factually wrong Kilmeade's statement is. Much like today, civil rights organizers in the 1960s were met with racist violence by police and private vigilantes alike. It wasn't a matter of organizers sitting down and politely asking for equality.
