Most of the one's that I know are (atleast when they're in all white company). "If it was the 50's, we'll be ok because those people have the best character of anyone alive today (aside from the fact that most of them are racist, but thats just how it was back then)." I know there were white people that marched right along side Dr. King when he went about ending segregation. The majority probably weren't full fledged racist but they had views that would seem odd today (the need for different water fountains, etc.).
