In my life experience, complete opposite.
For the ones who supported the civil rights movement, they absolutely deserve to be honored.
Truth be told, black people who were around during that era can recognize condescending behavior when they see it without any help from anyone.
This current right wing, reverse psychology strategy, with white conservatives using black pawns as script reciting mouth pieces to wage their war against white liberals to "get blacks off of the plantation" is nothing but a ploy to entice gullible registered black voters to switch parties. In actuality, black voters have good reason to have no allegiance to either side.
The joke is on the pawns, because when the day arrives that the same conservatives are back in power, they will kick the pawns to the curb.
