This is literally the white moderates. All these same arguments were made about blocking roads or sit-ins at diners and the "reasonable" moderate of the time dispassionately agreed with their cause but passionately disagreed with their actions. How immature of those negroes to disrupt roadways, don't they know it makes the moderates angry to be lumped in with them when they offhandedly mention that black people should have voting rights at a barbeque before changing the subject to something less divisive?

It is the same argument. It’s not the same thing.
Look, is blowing up a bus an effective protest?
