I was only 12 in 1964, but my father did consider Malcolm x (and king and ali) to be dangerous commie "nigras." dick Gregory, on the other hand, was dad's partner in a few business ventures so he just "had a few funny ideas. " (hell, dad, Gregory was a comedian. he had funny ideas for a living). Gregory died very recently, dad a long time ago.

more than 50 years. I thought (well, hoped) we were past that, but here is this truly uncouth billionaire who has nothing better to do in his old age except unleash this basket of ignorant deplorables once again.

sorry to take you back to the segregated south for that moment.
