I’m sorry that the narrative of “collectively we all realized our folly and shook off the yolk of racist overlords” is incorrect.
Our forefathers were more racist than we want to remember them as, and I get that, but better to know the truth and know we have a chance to make it better.

Pew research opinion polls from the time (1965) found that 40% of poll respondents felt the government was moving too fast in guaranteeing black voting rights and in eliminating segregation, while only 24% said it wasn’t moving fast enough

From the archives: 50 years ago, mixed views about civil rights but support for Selma demonstrators
In 1965, America’s verdict on Selma was clear: Polling showed the public clearly siding with the demonstrators, not with the state of Alabama.

I think there is a tendency to assume that because the CRA was ultimately successful (at least in many respects), that it must’ve been a widely popular movement - but it wasn’t! White sentiment toward civil rights was conflicted even up until CRA passed.

Per: www.crmvet.org/comm/24white...

Maybe 10% in the south or as high as 45% in the north.

Do we have real estimates - idk

I don’t think it is diminishing POC to say that the civil rights protests were less well attended than the No Kings protests (and there are many, many reasons for this, communications technology one of the biggest).

I do think the interesting question is what was the white participation of CRM.

"Detach Quote" is one of the best Bluesky features.
.
When someone quoted your post do dunk on you - tap "..." in your quoted post, and select "Detach Quote." It will be removed from the quote, and the would be dunker will look like a moron.

I don’t know how to approach “Republicans weren’t racist in the early aughts” as someone who went to Texas during the early aughts and had to debate whether or not Black students were “stealing” people’s spots in class.

Ideological agreement seems like the most likely explanation - neoliberal preference for “stable regions” supporting economic growth also makes sense but the ideological bias that “strong Israel” = “stable region” is impossible to separate.

This seems like confirmation
Then Mr. Trump won the presidency back, and the Biden administration was determined to get a cease-fire in place by January, before it left office. It drafted a peace plan, much of which was quite similar to the “20 point plan” Mr. Trump recently issued. There was slow progress: More than 130 hostages had been released by the time the January cease-fire took place. “We handed over a cease-fire that silenced the guns, had hostages coming out and aid going in, along with a day-after plan to make it permanent,” Mr. Blinken said. But when the new administration took over, “the moment was squandered,” he added. “Israel and Hamas went back to war for eight months.” Israeli officials tell a different story. Mr. Biden was a lame duck, they noted, and disengaged. Mr. Trump was a known entity, less likely to lecture Mr. Netanyahu in private or public. They put their money on a new president, and a new negotiating team
