If you are not looking to reflexively hate everything she says without regard to content, that sentence can certainly be taken to reflect the reality -- most white people in the nation at that time were willing to end Jim Crow, and demonstrated it by electing for two terms the Republican Dwight D. Eisenhower, the first president to outlaw segregation in the military and who put forward the first comprehensive Civil Rights legislation since the days immediately following the Civil War, even though he as bitterly opposed by rabid segregationist white Democrats and their Dixiecrat Senators and Congressmen in DC.
That said, the mainstream also expected that a newly-freed people would rise to the responsibilities that go along with political freedom, as had so many waves of ethnic immigrants before then. And many A-A folks have done so, without demanding crutches and reparations; that so many slid back to the Democrat party plantation is another whole story.
As for the speech on its face as quoted, no sense arguing with it; it's pretty well stated.
Democrat leaders have always looked down their nose at their black brethren under the skin.
When oppression failed, they switched to bribes. The man on the street might think “a hand up” and be copacetic with it, but it’s becoming “a hand out” for obscene proportions of the population. And Democrat leaders KNOW this and cynically keep it up anyhow.
And, some past injustices to particular ethnic groups took that form, even getting their own elite in on the game against the masses. I just thought of the Trail Of Tears. That’s not quite as simple as it sounds. The Cherokees who were marched cruelly and often fatally to Oklahoma were treated thus at the wishes not only of Andrew Jackson but also of high muckety mucks in the Cherokee tribe!
