The fact that there only a few Blacks left underlines the pointlessness and stupidity of this idea. Racism is a big theme in the Harry Potter books. Hermione, Dean Thomas and others are always having to deal with racist gits. I certainly wouldn't call any of the Blacks cowards (especially Regulus, who I agree is superb) but I don't think that's the meaning of this slogan in the books. Walburga is Sirius and Regulus's mum, the screaming portrait? Where'd you find out her name?

The Malfoys and the Blacks are very, very different (though, Narcissa Black did marry a Malfoy). But even though they're different, they both support the same idea: maintaining wizard blood purity. Rowling has shown the different people can support the same ideas many times in her books.
