Quote from Blackwell article

Ken Blackwell's column includes the following paragraph:

As legendary civil rights leader Roy Innis recently said to me, the Deacons forced the Klan to re-evaluate their actions and often change their undergarments.

Perhaps we could quote from this in the article? Cheers, CWC(talk) 06:11, 8 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I've just reorganised the article, and I did include that that great quote. Further work from someone more knowledgeable about the 1960s Civil Rights struggle would be beneficial. Cheers, CWC 16:28, 6 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Wiki

Hum, this doesn't really seem like most Wikipedia articles, no section on "cultural references" (2 are given in the "history" section). When I get some time I'll see if I can add some more wikilinks, find some pictures (I have the Brazilian Portuguese version of the DVD cover, I'll have to look at rules for images) and organise the sections a little more. Any more ideas? - ChrisWar666 (talk) 18:57, 13 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The summary section is very poorly written, especially the second paragraph. Tyleroar (talk) 03:22, 20 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Neutrality

The lede claims the group is ignored and imputes motives to those putatively ignoring them, but it gives no reliable sourcing for these claims. --Flex (talk/contribs) 13:13, 19 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I believe I've heard about the Deacons twice in my life, the second time being in the reference that brought me here http://drftraining.com/2013/02/12/it%E2%80%99s-time-to-choose-a-side-this-will-offend-you/ That seems like "ignoring" to me, since I've heard about the Panthers easily hundreds of times, probably thousands. 98.118.26.43 (talk) 15:56, 12 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
