Yes, I recall vividly when Stokely Carmichael (nee Kwame Toure) first raised his black fist and demanded "Black Power!" White people went crazy then, too. Thought we were going to takeover the country and enslave them.

And, let's not forget that they called Dr. King a "communist" right up until the day they shot him dead; then overnight he became a martyr, a safely dead "saint."
