For my example, I've lived in the south for 30 years.

I don't hear much about the Sons and Daughters of the Confederacy loudly denouncing racism.

That's not its unified mission. I don't hear the BDS movement speaking out that much against suicide bomb attacks on civilians either, but that doesn't automatically delegitimize all of their arguments about the Israeli occupation.

It doesn't, but IMHO it does delegitimize their position a bit by not doing so.

If you're tangential to violence and hate, and you don't denounce it strongly and frequently, people are going to wonder.
