I see you have a misunderstanding there about the "white moderates" thing.

At the time white people *literally* held all the power (damn near anyways), so someone who was a "white moderate" was someone who was in the group of power and didn't advocate for positive change for the rights of others.

It was less a "white moderate" thing and more a "person in group of power who was moderate" thing

Those who advocated (and those who do so currently) for the positive change in terms of civil rights were (and are) considered radicals.

You even see this kind of stuff now with the "enlightened centrist" people. The people who think that we should compromise with those trying to take rights away.
