B. benefited from the goodwill created by the actions of the International Labor Defense
C. inspired some African Americans with its rhetoric

Explanation: The question is based on a passage not fully provided, but based on the provided answer and common knowledge of the topic: The passage characterization includes a list of descriptions EXCEPT the correct answer. The correct option is D in the source which is 'was involved in local African-American political issues'. However, the *marked* option in the source is A, 'refrained from attacking white chauvinism'. Assuming the text under the choices is the correct answer and the mark is misplaced, the party was **NOT** involved in local African-American political issues before the 1930s.
